Seems like winter

This last week has been frosty and cold, like proper winter.
( How cold? This cold... )

The field hasn't really unfrozen at any point so the ponies are having a whole lot of hay. The ice I'm removing from the water trough in the mornings and evenings isn't melting either, so we have a big old heap of ice by the ponies' water. It's supposed to get warmer this weekend but I sort of hope it doesn't. I rather like this sparkly kind of cold.

This evening was foggy but only at ground level so when I was giving the ponies dinner, although I could only see for about fifty metres horizontally, the moon was cutting through from above casting everything in a penumbral glow. It was quite beautiful.

I'm starting to feel a bit like it may be christmas soon now as well...
