A Buddy Fix

My routine was different this morning without Sidney.  Very quiet and slow moving.  Even tho it was spritzing outside and the temperature got up to about 47, I decided to load up the last bundles of hay I saved for Buddy and drive them over.

Of course Little Wonder wanted to join me....but they have two dogs and I did not think it was a good idea (in case they were outside).

Whenever I go there, I pass this little falls in Clarendon.  It's a beauty and all the rain has kept it moving.

As soon as Cotton and Buddy saw me, they came up to the fence.

First I moved the hay in, then did some picking and finally got more fuzz off Buddy.  They were very happy with the apples and carrots I brought.  They also got some extra hay from one of the bundles that broke.  A nice treat for them.

Got home around two and other than doing a load of wash, was not too productive.

I had some leftover sauce and ended up making an easy dinner.

Night all.

PS

I really appreciate all the caring comments that were made regarding the loss of Sidney.

Little Wonder's post on FB received over 1400 views and almost 100 comments.  So many people know what it's like to lose your best buddy.

 

Sleep Tight Sidney.....

It was a very emotional morning....spending time with Sidney before taking him to the animal hospital to be put down.  Gary went with me and it was very peaceful.  The vet agreed that it was time.  We had him for 16 years and he had a very good life.

Before he was placed next to Seymour, I made sure Little Wonder was able to see and touch him so he would understand.  They were a sweet little duo and Sidney will be missed by all of us.

At 1 LW and I went out to the Studio for some music.

Only John was able to join me and he brought a new song.

Late afternoon I made a quick trip to Wegmans for a few things.

We were in a pizza mood.

Not an easy day....

Night all.

The Studio

This was brush pick up day and they started at our house early in the morning.

Pardon all the videos.....I was into music today.

Did a load of wash, then Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio to get things set up for music tomorrow.  So happy that it is warm enough to start being out there.

We have a nice sound system and this is my favorite CD when I'm working.

Gary had a morning meeting and found me out there when he got home.

It was warm enough for LW to be panting....around 68 degrees.

I was finished around noon.  So many flowers are still in bloom there.

A little after three I went for Trike ride #7.  About 6 miles today.

Finding music motivates me to get out there.

I picked up a couple of terra cotta pots along the way.  They are so expensive I thought what the heck!  Better to Skoog Farm than the dump.

Perfect weather again.  Gary did more putzing around in the raised beds.

Dinner was a replay.  Vegetarian two nights in a row.

Night all.

My Kind of Weather

We were off to a very foggy start this morning.

Gary went to Brockport for coffee and a paper.  When he got back I made a quick trip to Wegmans and the flowering pear trees there were just gorgeous.

When I got back to the farm I took Sid and Little Wonder out to the kitchen garden for some sunshine.

Poor Sid is not doing well...still won't eat much.  Calling the vet tomorrow as I do not want him to suffer.

I got in my 6th trike ride this afternoon.  By then it was 56 degrees and just right for getting some exercise

This time I rode an extra three miles.

I had started making peanut butter cookies before 

leaving and the dough had to be refrigerated...so when I returned, it was ready

to be rolled into balls.

So easy and so good.

Can't beat that late afternoon sun for some good light.

We had a cheesy cauliflower casserole for dinner with two side salads.  So many different veggies,

By the way.... Little Wonder improved quite a bit today and by tomorrow should be back to normal.  I'm so glad!

Night all.
