Black & White Wed.. NOT my kids....or beach

-
I am playing Black & White Wed. with Lisa over at The long road to China.
& SURPRISE, SURPRISE... this week I am NOT posting pictures of Eva or our beach.
Yesterday the SUN was out & the snow was falling-... Beautiful I tell you... hopped in my car & hit the farm country between our house & my office...
Really, how cool is it that we have FARM country right by the Beach?
- kind of the best of both worlds...
now only if I could switch the country over to speaking only ENGLISH all of the time... (I kid)

Lovely! Those horses (or are they ponies?) are gorgeous, and look right at home in the snow with their shaggy coats! I especially love the first picture, with the trees and the fence acting as the perfect snowy backdrop for the horse or pony or whichever it is (and I really ought to know, because I grew up in farm country, but we had more dairy farms near us, so I'm better with cows).

Great pictures of those adorable ponies. I am just thinking they must be cold but I am sure Norwegian ponies are sort of used to snow.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
