MERRY CHRISTMAS! _________________________________________________________ So - at last - after oceans of thesies writing - a horseday! Yippi! Packed with hay and fika, going for a trip to the mountains. First creek was to icey to cross, so we had to take another way, to another creek. But that one was to difficult too... See how nicely the path contiues on the other side... At least there was a bit of growing stuff there. So we had to find ourselves a new path, and doing so we found this old hut. Wonder what it has been used for? Who bulit it? Is in the middle of the forest. En kolarkoja? Here we have just passed the "new road area" and are back on old familiar roads again.  Same as above, but looking over the sholder. I think youve got the idea... Resting, eating hay. Those who met up in the forrest. Drinking chocolates and wanting to drink chocolates. Tulo and my dad talking something over. '' Wierd Al and the Commitments. ___________________________________________________ Saturday night - taking a tour to Svarttjärn (Blacklake, tadada daaa!) Temp was -13, at least down in the valley. At the beginning. Walking home. Jag är här, å mitt på en frusen väg finns det värme ändå Forrest by night. Resting time. Alltså jag tycker att han påminner om Nicholas Cage på den hära bilden. ____________________________________________________ And today, on my birthday, Im sitting inside writing on my theses. Its snow outside, -10C and Im hoping for another mystical winternight, starry sky snowride to night. Or perhaps I will just keep on writing... What I really want to do, is when after I turned this version of my paper in on Monday, is to take Tulo, a sack of hay, lots of fika, some matches, blankets and stuff and go for a whole day in the mountains. THe days are short now so it would not be for so long. ____________________________________________________ Tonight we were out under the stars, on the cold snow, listening to the wind in the trees... -10 degrees. And tomorrow its Lucia. ____________________________________________________ Out in the woods again today to take more nice/wonderful christmas pictures. Well, what can I say...  Pic from Acktjärn again. Alba. Christmas winter picture. Again, love them mountains... Tulo and snow This picture my dad did like. Christmas again. Notice Tulos footsteps in the snow! Or hoofsteps. (prints...) Good looking horse. With a beard. Icebeard. (Polar beard). Downhill ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, this was one of those days when I thought it was going to be ice everywhere, and then it turned out to be a so good! The snow was perfect for riding once we had left the yard and it got betterand better the higher altidude we got to.  LOVE THEM MOUNTAINS! Same ol creek again. Eyes.   (there's looking at you, kid.) Different temperaturs. It's qute a hard job for a horse walking these hills you know! We´ll, here we are at the goal, lake Acktjärn.  (yes he did get some oats...) Trying to take nice christmas pictures. (or wonderful ones...) Snow on the marsh. Or bog, på myren! And on our way home again. and, for no reason at all: saxomophoone
