I sat up nights with a neighbor's minis - later in the year so not so cold. It was great, watching the stars - seeing the satelites go over, and being able to hear sounds from miles away. I also enjoyed walking out to the barn waiting for foals before I got my camera set up. Everything was always so peaceful :)
Well, I still can't get my lawnmower started so I've got the pony mowing the grass. With my temp fencing or the seed area and obstacles in the yard, I figure she's the least likely to get into trouble. Not sure why I think that.
