Sun Flares on a Solstice Sleigh Ride
For Christmas, I gave my family a sleigh ride. Long-time neighbors to my parents have horses -- not just any horses, but those big Budwieser-type draft horses. They offer sleigh / hay rides through the woods, with a stop at a bon fire where you can have a cook out . We kept it simple with s'mores and hot chocolate, cider, and tea.
It was a perfect day for a sleigh ride. Not too cold. Plenty of snow (almost 2 feet!) there (very little where we live). And a little winter sun for Solstice.
Unfortunately, my Mom was not able to go along since she fell and injured her ankle. She loves those horses, though. And my Dad loves the woods. We had a nice time, even if it was just the four of us.

Here's a nice video from someone in Sweden sharing the experience of being on a one-horse open sleigh. Just trying to capture the moment for my mom who missed out.
Here's another one. Sorry-- I don't know how to embed the videos from FB.
An now for some mood music:
