On the Road With Little Wonder

Bam!  Brilliant sunrise (before 7am).

Much warmer this morning, but blowing like crazy much of the day.

I was getting hay for the boys in the stall where I store it and up popped Sidney.  He was snoozing in a box all cozy with a blanket. I'm glad he found it.

Last chance for LW to be in his old bed.  The stuffing has been coming out of the bottom....think I will try to sew it up and save it.

Gary ran a few errands (coffee) and when he got back to the farm Little Wonder and I went shopping for a bed at Country Max.  He wore his new sweater.

Took it easy this afternoon and at chore time it was so dark compared to yesterday when everything was pink.

Got the boys tucked in

and went down to the Indivisible end of the year pizza party.  Ironically, I sat next to a woman who worked with Gary when he was a DJ at WGMC (Jazz Station) over 25 years ago.  Connections!

Everyone brought something they wanted to unload and anyone could take whatever they wanted....whatever was left was going to be taken to Lifetime Solutions in Hamlin.  I got a beautiful black bag, candles, a t-neck and an LL Bean sweater.

By the end of the evening they had all kinds of bags and boxes ready to go.

I had also brought a tote and a bag full of clothes that Linda could take to Rochester for some homeless people.  It was a nice evening and so much fun to talk to new people.  Is there an Indivisible Group where you live?  These people do so much more than fighting for democracy.  They address all kinds of issues in this area and help so many with different needs.

And here he is.  LW seems to like his new bed.

Night all.

Sailor's Delight

A busy day...... sort of. 

Gary went to Yoga and out to lunch.  While he was gone I made sure the upstairs was ready for company and dug out an entire tote's worth of clothing to donate to an event I am going to tomorrow night.  Got the fire going and had lunch before 3 friends (Gary, Darryl and Nancy) came over to make some music.  Darryl was happy to see that my bass was back in gear and with the new batteries it came through the amp loud and clear.  He played it the whole time and we started off with some blues for a warm up.  All of our music is so different from what She Sings played.

They were gone by 3:30 and I took it easy before chores.  By 4, the color of the sky was changing.  So pink!

It was not quite 5 at this time.

Got the boys tucked in and finished getting dinner together.  Simple.  Meatball sandwiches and bean salad.

I made a simple centerpiece for the kitchen table.

Night all.

 

Maybe Tomorrow

First of all I am walking better today.  No cane.  Pretty sure I must have strained a muscle and am at about 50%.

Not quite as cold as yesterday and it should be even better tomorrow.

We've had little spurts of snow, but there can't be more than 3 inches on the ground.

Gary left at 8:30 to pick up a friend and they met another in Batavia for breakfast.  When he got back I went to Wegmans and Aldis....mainly for some fruit.  After seeing the lasagna my friend Sandra made last night, I decided to make some pasta with meatballs for dinner (since I did not have on hand what I needed to make lasagna).

Got in a short nap before evening chores.  In just a few days it's going to start staying light longer and that will make me very happy.

Got the boys tucked in and

the temperature in the barn was almost 25.  Last night it was 20 and the same this morning.

Little Wonder snuck out without his black coat tonight.

A neighbor brought over some apples for the horses.  A nice treat to go with their carrots.

I made so much sauce I am going to freeze some for meatball sandwiches and another container for a repeat of tonight's dinner.

I sure love having the Twinkie lights on. 

Night all.

PS

Barbara....how can I contact you?  I want to know more about your potato casserole.
