*applause*
You'll have lots of mornings with frost... enough to freeze wet pavement, but we don't get tons of ~ice~... a week or so, here and there, of snow that doesn't usually last a real long time. They need rain gear more than ice gear, but some good hiking type boots/shoes are always appropriate.

That's what I figured - hiking boots.
They're waterproof, have great tread and are usually lined with warm stuff. :-D
Becky's up. And she wants to wear The Boots.
~sigh~
The BOOOOOOOOOTTTTSSSSSS.....
they wants to be worn
How are the girls liking the new school?
They love it. Which is such a relief to me because I was seriously worried about it.
Becky adores her teacher and has not one, but TWO best friends already. And the fact that she can wear whatever she likes to school instead of the same crummy uniform day after day has been another plus.
The real test is to see how she feels about it halfway though the school year, when all of the cool "newness" wears off.
Aly really likes her PreK too and I wish I could afford to have her there more often. But for now, twice a week half-days are good enough. :-D
Very good - glad to hear that! Important step in them feeling at home.
That dog is awful cute, too.
But their owner is a little...well, let's just say this idea wouldn't occur to most owners. ;-) Funny.
*snort*
You betcha!
Heh, that's a good one!
Looked to me like the cat was frozen with FEAR under the water! The dog was swimming along, but the cat's legs were stiff as a board!
OOOOh! Russell Crowe! Have to see about that from Netflix. Is is sort of a "Misty of Chincoteaue", but in Australia, type movie?
He's very young in it, it's before he was in anything remotely big... we just looked it up and it's from 1993. If you're a fan of his, there's hunky bits where he looks manly and unshaven and takes his shirt off to wash in the creek. And there's lots of terrific scenes of wild horses running and playfighting.
It's really unbelievably corny, lots of rather imaginative anthropomorphism about what horses think about, lots of "tree huggin' hippy crap" about being one with nature and letting nature tell you what to do. It's written in context of a mom who is writing a horse story for her daughter, and this horse and Russell are sortof real-life characters in it.
Very much like lots of stories written for little girls who love horses, absolutely no bad language or even sexual tension in it.
Sounds like a less serious version of "The Man from Snowy River".
One of these days, I'm gonna go over to Chincoteague for the crossing of the ponies.
We saw that film every year in grade school.
It is... "Man from Snowy River" without the love story or complicated character development, same plot, right down to "mystical brumby stallion he keeps trying to catch but who always eludes him... the stallion even ends up stealing away one of the guy's mares, just like in MFSR. :~)
I'd probably like it, then. I really like "Snowy River".
