So...after being cooped up in the shed for nearly two weeks, I rolled Melody out and went on an errand ride late yesterday. Started raining on the way back, then remembered the forecast for an inch or so of snow. I thought hell, the thing is soaking wet already, not worth dragging back into the shed. An inch of snow's hardly going to hurt. I'll just put the saddle bonnet on her and...
(After shoveling the driveway/walkway/front porch, I dusted her off and went for a ride anyway.)
