Day Number Two For Buddy

A very weird day as far as the weather goes.  A decent sunrise, lots of wind, snow, melting, more snow and high wind warnings from tonight until 11 am tomorrow. Could reach 60 miles per hour.

Kathy made my day when she sent me these photos of Buddy out in his paddock this morning.

He shares a fence line with Cotton and they seem to be getting along well.

At 11:30 Carol and her pup arrived to pick up more hay and made a delivery..

Gary had a nice fire going by noon and I just took it easy for awhile...started watching another series.

I had already done some laundry and Gary helped me switch the furniture around in the bedroom.  I love changing things up once in awhile..

Little Wonder has a stool next to the bed because it is so high.  As soon as I was finished, he was up there.

Late afternoon we had a delivery from friends who used to board a horse here.  More flowers for Rebel.  Keeps me in tears.  Another very sweet message....so grateful.

I made huge salads for dinner. Greens, yellow peppers, leftover bean salad, tomatoes, croutons and chicken.  Really good.  Could eat main course salads at least 2 or 3 times a week.

Night all.

A New Day for Buddy

I was busy much of the day.  As expected, it was in the 30s and SO WINDY!

Once again I did not sleep well and got off to a slow start, ending up at the library for bridge at 1. My partner and I came in first!

From there I went out to Buddy's new farm to get ready for his arrival.  Kathy and Cotton kept me company.

This is Buddy's new stall.....all set up with shavings, hay and water.

He will also have this run in area once he gets into his new groove

Carol and I got there around 5:30 and Andrea and Buddy arrived around 6.

By then, we were all freezing!

After Carol and Andrea left, Kathy and I stayed with the horses and 

let Buddy have access to the run in area so he could meet Cotton face to face,

Fortunately they remained very calm.  I think they will be good pals.

I left around 7 and below is the view toward their back pastures.

We sure don't have this view at our house.  I had to stop along the way.

Little Wonder got in the car with me when I got home and we went to Brockport for some junk food to go.

So happy to have a good fire going in the kitchen.

Night all.

All Over the Place

A pretty crazy day.  I woke up to orange reflections in the bedroom and headed for the kitchen for my phone so I could grab some photos.  By the time I got there, most of the color was gone.

Within 5 minutes we had thunder and pouring rain.

It stopped for a little while and I went out to the Studio to start getting it together.  We store lawn mowers, chairs and a lot of other stuff in there during the winter.

We have a lot of sticks on the lawn and thousands of walnuts to pick up.  Started with the sticks.

At 10 two of Gary's pals showed up for coffee.....a great way for them to spend the morning.

By then there was a torrential downpour and I drove out to Glen Darach Farm to pick up Buddy's tack trunk and brush box.  Gave him some cookies and changed him from his rain sheet to a blanket.  It's going to be 30 degrees in the morning.

On the way home I stopped at Wegmans.

Got home just in time to turn around and go back to Brockport for an appointment.  Does this video give you a clue as to where I went?

On the way home I stopped at Country Max to pick up some shavings and MSM for Buddy.  His Mom arrived at 3:45 and we loaded up her car and mine with everything we had to take out to his new place.

Here she is with Buddy's new pal....Cotton.  Can't wait for them to meet tomorrow.

Such a cutie.  He has been alone for the past 7 months or so as Kathy (his owner) lost two of her other horses this past year.  He and Buddy need each other!

Here is the barn.

This is Luna.

She has an older pal that was in the house.

On the way home I drove down the Road that Scott's house is on.  He built it himself many years ago and he and Jenny plan to do some serious work on it.

Home late and did not make dinner.  Turkey sandwiches instead.

Night all.
