* Day 13 *
SNOWBALL FIGHT!
Lake Tahoe winters can be snowy and brutal. So when the snow finally stops- well…
The snow began to calm down, as sunrise rose on the Ponderosa. Little Joe stared out the window in excitement.
“Yes!” Joe smiled, watching the gentle snow fall on the yard.
Hoss was fast asleep, eager to get in some extra sleep because of the latest snowstorm. He slept like a log.
Joe snuck into Hoss’ room.
“Hey” Joe whispered, “The horses aren’t going to feed themselves you know.”
“Joe, what are you doing up so dang early? I thought you were the type to always sleep in.”
Joe smiled, “I know, but it’s snowing out and the barn chores aren’t going to do themselves you know.”
“Pa’s not going to be back from Sacramento until next week- why are you soo eager to do barn chores?” Hoss asked.
“No reason- just want to get outside for a change after that storm.”
“Okay Joe, if you say so.”
Joe and Hoss shoveled the snow, creating a path between the front door and the barn. As soon as he got to the barn, Joe began to set up the feed for the horses.
Joe poured the feed into the feed bucket.
Joe lead Cochise and Chub into their stalls, “Breakfast is served”
Joe watched as Hoss settled down in the snow, relaxing. Joe smiled, as he took some snow and scrunched it into a snowball.
He snuck up on his relaxing brother, and threw the snowball at him.
“Got ya!” Joe laughed, rolling to the ground.
“Why you little!” Hoss got up, finding a snow mound to hide behind. He took some snow in his hand and formed a snowball. He threw the snowball at his brother.
Joe ran to dodge the snowball, and found his own mound to hide behind.
Joe laughed, forming another snowball, and threw it at Hoss.
Hoss dodged the snowball, and ducked.
