A few years ago, back when Dusty was still at Helene's, Helene asked me to dress up in a Santa's Helpers costume she'd made, and ride Dusty around in the new snow. She also dressed in this outfit, and rode her big Belgian around. Geoffrey was a tad too large to wear the outfit (it would have been quite the sight) but wore one of the hats.
This had been a fairly brown and muddy winter for us here in Massachusetts, and so Helene figured she'd get some photos while the taking was good - she uses photographs she takes in the barn, either candids or somewhat contrived, for Christmas Cards.
