It snowed again in Dunfanaghy. I have been here since 1997, and in all that time, I can only remember seeing some snow a few times. Having this much snow in one winter in Ireland is just unheard of. It is the worst winter and snow that Ireland has had in the last 25 years.
Joe and I left for our hike to Bobbi as usual this morning, and we walked through lots of snow with snow and hail falling. It was not fun! We were so glad to reach the forest, as there is always less snow falling there, because of the canopy of trees.Bobby was so happy to hear us calling him, and he galloped to us with joy and in anticipation of all the goodies we had brought.
, which was sugar cubes, oatcakes, apples and carrots.

I also received my giveaway gift that I won from Jansie's blog called Jansie's Fancies, and it was a really pretty Christmas ornament. Isn't it just lovely? I also got a pouch for it, and that was quite pretty too.
Thanks Jansie!
We are both chilled from our walk, and it has been hours since we took our walk. We are sitting in the our living room watching tv. I am under my electric blanket.
I can't believe that next week is Chrsitmas. I am so glad that you all loved the Irish Christmas traditions that I discussed in a previous email. It looks like we might have a White Christmas.

ciao ciao
What a beautiful place....
Glad you made it there and back and are now enjoying your electric blanket.
Bobbie looks so cute in his coat. I love purple.
We are having alot of snow too and it ususally does not snow this much this early. I hope You and Your Hubby have a Very Merry Christmas.

Looks like you were walking in a winter wonderland. Such a beautiful place. It has been following your blog and learning about the beautiful place you reside in. Thanks for sharing. Nola
The snow is beautiful. We've had a lot of VERY cold weather very early this year. I hope we will warm up some before February :-)
Well the snow is lovely to look at, but I can see where you might not want to get out in it if it takes hours to warm back up. Thanks for the lovely post!
Ireland looks pretty with snow! And I like the gift you got.

Do you ever go cross skiing? I love to do that, I just watch it carefully, so I don't fall. But it is fun and easier on the legs.

Isn't the weather different this year. We usually get the snow, but far we've only had flurries. Congratulations on your win. I bet the ornament is lovely. Stay warm.
We've had unseasonably cold weather here too. No snow this far south but it's very unusual to have the air conditioner off this time of year.
Hiking in hail does not sound fun at all!
We had a slight flurry or two last week, but no accumulation of snow. I am honestly thankful for that. I suppose I saw enough snow the two years I lived in Ohio.
I think you should write a picture book about Bobbi. Enjoy your white Irish Christmas!
OH MICKY!! THIS HORSE IS SOOOOOO CUTE! I want one so badly! teeehee....you are in my giveaway pot dearest. It has taken me so long to come to you for I am preparing my post for another blog for tomorrow and I am soooo tired! Off to bed I go....come back LATE tomorrow to see who wins!!! Anita
I cannot believe that you two kids got out in that stuff! :)
Bobbie looks very happy to see you two -what happened to his buddy?
I hope You and Your Hubby have a Very Merry Christmas.The snow is beautiful.Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful snow to look at, but I'm sure it's not easy to walk through it. Wish you and Joe a lovely Christmas and best of 2011 - Hugs Nat
Hi Micki,
Bobbie is lucky to have you for a friend.
I hope you've warmed up!
Merry Christmas,
Sonya
I hope you are OK with all the snow that is falling!
Take care.
Congratulations on your win.
I think that we are certainly getting a winter this year here in the UK they saying it looks like it would be the coldest December in a 100 years
I had heard on the news that it the worst snow you had for 25 years as long as you can stay safe & warm
take care
Hugs Janice
Weather is becoming abnormal in many parts of the world. Be careful on your way out hiking when it snows! I'm again amazed at how frequently you win giveaways! So lucky!
Bobbi is a lucky horse to have such loving attention. Stay warm and I hope you have a wonderful white Christmas!
You have had an amazing fall so far. I can't imagine what winter will bring. I am glad you were rewarded on that chilly walk with a greeting from Bobbi.
Hope you have wonderful Christmas! Hail is not a good thing to hike through. Hope you are toasty and enjoying some of your Irish coffee to warm your toes! :)
Wow look at that snow...it always seems to look so romantic, although I know it is also bitterly cold Micki...Stay warm Micki and Joe...Dzintra♥x
It sure is beautiful out there. I do love seeing your pictures of Bobby! What a sweetie pie!
And SO glad the ornament arrived in good shop and so quickly! That is pretty amazing. :) Hope you enjoy it for years to come.
