Winter Interrupted

Nebraska winter was interrupted this past week

with a couple of nice days

worthy of taking the day off from work

and riding with friends.
With hunting season finally over,

we were able to ride along the river.

Slabs of ice washed ashore littered the interior trails

causing quite a few “WTH” snorts from our equine friends.

The river was low enough
for us to ride on the sandbars.
Isn’t it every woman’s dream
to gallop across the beach?
The ride on Wednesday will have to sustain us
as February returned with a vengeance yesterday;
chilling temperatures
and several inches of snow.
