It was one of those weekends where everything I wrote sounded like drivel. So I’m doing the wise thing and going pictorial…
What’s the best thing to do when your job has you worried that there’s no way you can meet all your deadlines? And your nerves are just shot from life in general? That’s right! You try to groom a winter’s worth of grime and hair off your horses! The rhythmic scrape, scrape, scrape; pull hair…

Good grief! Enough already.
Oh the dogs make it hard not to smile … but warm wishes to YOU.

Go away winter! Go away winter! Although the dogs might be disappointed!
