Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Last night I slept on the couch because my dog brought in ticks on her fur; they got in my sheets, my bed, my blankets, and all over me. I have big red bumps on me now. Anyways, I slept on our couch next to our huge windows, and it started raining in sheets at about 1:00am. So that woke me up but I was very happy because it meant our 'drought' was over. We haven't had near enough snow this year and so everything was dry and brittle. After it rained for a while (I don't know exactly how long it rained because I fell asleep) the temperature dropped and the glorious rain turned to cold, wet snow. I woke up to four inches of very heavy, very wet snow. Jinx, the big idiot of a horse that he sometimes is, refused to go in his stall; when I went out to feed him at 8:30am he had been rained on, and then the rain froze to a sheet of ice, and then he was snowed on. So he was shaking like a leaf! I had to catch him, brush off the water, dry him, put his blanket on, and then put his feed in his trough. I went back out about an hour later and he was still shaking but not near as bad. He was much warmer. I caught a cold.

Tired and sick,
