I get out at least once a week in the winter ... not quite so often in the summer because I'm busier. On Saturday my wife and son took two of the donkeys for a walk down the road ... about 3 miles ... and I rode my cart out to meet them and make sure they were OK. It was about 20 degrees and there was a slight wind so I just wanted to check. They were all fine and the snow on the road was well packed. They were out about 2 hours and never saw a car the entire time. One of the good things about living in the sticks!
