Steve Holt!, week 14

This week's Sunday Stills assignment was Self Portraits...and we were told no cameras in front of the face, and no archives! I've been very guilty of pulling up old photos simply because I just haven't got my camera with me while working Steve Holt!, but a self portrait was easy enough...right?

But I forgot. And here it is, Sunday morning. 7:00 am and it's still just a little dark outside, but hey, I grab my camera and head towards the door to snap a quick shot before heading out to the barn. Might as well get a nice background, I'm thinking as I step out onto the steps, still half asleep.

I wasn't asleep for long! What was it that I found so shocking???

Ack! Another dose of snow...

No, it's not much. They were saying we'd get 2-8" overnight, but all that came down was a light pellet type dusting. So I went about my chores without too much concern. We'd hoped to get down to a tack sale today but since the roads were getting slick down south last night, I opted not to. Besides...it's City Boy's birthday today. He's 50! Y'all better wish him a happy happy. He's excited because he got the AARP membership enrollment form!

Meanwhile...Steve Holt! finished up week 14 this weekend. His biggest accomplishments were his slowed gait while working on the rail, and the fact that we got to work the Hydra Bull not once, but twice! Jay showed up just as we were about to leave on Friday, so he trimmed his little footsies. It wasn't exactly a walk in the park to get it done, but oh-so-much easier than last time.

Darling thinks she may like Steve Holt!. We know Steve Holt! likes her...

I am still struggling with what to do if we make the finals. Watch...all this thought poured into it and we'll goof up something else in the preliminaries. But...better to not make it and be prepared, than to make it and have nothing to offer. Besides, it gives us something to do in the coming days before leaving, right?

I found this little video for inspiration; I think we can pull it off, don't you?

Sigh...the snow has begun to come down again, and it's getting somewhat thick... Sure hope it doesn't plan on sticking around long. I've got a long drive to Oregon coming up!
