Every year when the rush of the holiday season ends, I end up in a funk.
Funk=winter depression
This winter depression involves lack of energy and motivation, alot of munching on leftover treats and the need to sleep alot and live in my fat pants.
But then once in awhile {which isn't very often this winter}, we get a beautiful winter day and I thank God I am alive to live in it.
Because its pretty and fresh.
And Ike and Duke are big and beautiful....
...and eager to pull children around on their sleighs.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that not everyone can bring out the horses and sleigh and spend an hour or two doing something many would pay big bucks for.
Sometimes I have to remind my children how lucky they are when they complain about cleaning the barn.
But I never have to remind my hubby.
This is the life he was made for.
Actually, I am pretty sure if he could live the life that Charles Ingalls lived, he would do it in a second.
....and Jersey the dog would be right there beside him.
