There was snow, but only some. It was not snowing, at the time I left, and had been snowing last night so I had assumed the storm was over.
Practice for the school Equestrian team I am on, fun way to still do some of what I did at home.
I really should go practice my riding a bike in the snow like Bay mentioned, however I am nervous about ending my streak of not wrecking on my bike.

How many schools have Equestrian teams!! Was that one of your requirements for choosing the school?

Good morning y'all! Coffee is ready. Thinking about bacon and eggs, but just thinking....... LOL Got to get out of here early to go vote. No politicians to vote for, it's amendments to the Texas Constitution. I forgot about voting early.
Last time we voted early voting was packed and regular had about five people. Maybe you’ll get lucky and see the same!

Up late, slept late. 
this is a planned stay home day! Cool 64 inside. Brrr. Summer temps for Alaskan. But chilly, IMO! So far. I've resisted a heater. They say colder tonight and daytime tomorrow....guess those 70s days are leaving soon...sure hate that thought. Whatcha gonna do?! Winter cometh...more coffee. Sipping first cup now.
Plan to start a smoked pork shoulder this morning...smell it most all day. Yum! Planning fresh cabbage, carrots and potatoes in the broth. Will fix some candied sweets with some I canned last winter. May even make a couple loaves of bread! It will be eat all week cook day! Plus some freezer meals and sliced meat to share with the kids. Then freeze bone for pot of beans down the road. Cool weather makes you want to cook.
And after feed chores, go to vote, then to tractor place for a specialized o-ring for hydraulic fix on tractor. Want to use it later. Hydraulic fluids are up about 60% in cost. I swear prices are bad on everything! Mind blowing. Wish fix had been on DS list a day sooner. I went by the darned shop coming and going yesterday!! 30 mile round trip. Wasting the golden gas!
this is my slow mode day. I plan to enjoy it.

Good morning. High is 42.... Got to love these crazy changes. Of course we have 3 does due in the next couple of days, so turning on the heat lamps tonight...just pulled the fans out yesterday.
We had our last camping trip this past weekend. Took the ponies, the girls got to ride a bit. A good experience for them, especially our newest who has been a pasture puff for several years. Even worked our smallest mini, Naut on pulling the cart. Had some really good meals with our saddle club. And trick or treated also. And got the camper winterized Sunday. DH and kids got some wood split, it needs stacked. We need to clean out the breeze way and move the saddles so we can start burning!
@Bruce many colleges and universities have equestrian teams, I was on one 20 years ago at mine. Yes I only looked at schools that had a team. Learned a lot, loved it!
So today it's school and riding lessons and working our our to do lists.

That is why vote by mail is so nice
But given all the "the mail will be slow" las November I just drove our ballots over to the town clerk's office and dropped them in the lock box. Every town and city in Vermont has this. You could also bring it to the polling place on voting day.Wow, like that stuff wasn't expensive enough before!
