More Sunshine and Bridge

I have really been slacking off in the picture taking department.  But here goes.

Rebel and Buddy were enjoying the morning sun in the big pasture when I got out to the barn.



I cleaned and refilled the water trough and it still didn't take me more than half an hour to finish chores.
Gary had let LW in the house before I got there and he was looking out a very dirty door window for me.
At 1 I was at the library for bridge.
My partner, Ann, and I came in first.  I'm sure glad I did not have a lot of hands like this!
Home around 4:30.  Gary went in to Unity Hospital to visit a friend and I did chores before we had a late dinner.






This must look familiar.  I still have another quart in the frig!
My buddy was giving me the stink eye while keeping me company.
Night all.
PS
After everything that happened yesterday, all media has gone crazy. The comments being made by so many are getting more and more vile.  I'd like to think that no one believes anyone should be shot for having an opinion that is not agreed upon by everyone.  There is a lot of suffering taking place by the families of students that were shot as well as the shooting in Utah.  This is becoming too common and frightening.  Pretty soon we will all be intimidated out of sharing our thoughts on any topic for fear of retribution.  What's next?

Chewy


Still on that sunshine roll.

This is what it looked like at 6:45am.


Rebel and Buddy are still enjoying the weather.


At 10am I drove down to the Brockport Animal Hospital as they were able to squeeze me in for a same day appointment for Seymour.
He is 15 years old and has had cancer in his right ear for over two years.  I wanted to renew a prescription and couldn't get it unless I brought him in.  He was checked out, had his ear cleaned and they put in something to work on a constant infection.  They can put that in every two weeks....$52 each time or I can continue with a prescription he has had before.  I chose the latter, and that's how I became interested in shopping through Chewy.  Had just been sent a promotion with a $20 coupon so I gave it a shot. If you spend over $49 there is no shipping charge, so I ordered LWs dog food too.
After lunch I decided to make another batch of gazpacho soup, since I picked a basket of tomatoes yesterday.  


Gary had a couple of appointments this afternoon so Little Wonder and I took it easy after taking a nice long shower.
I have a stomach ache after watching the news regarding the shooting in Utah.  Every day!  Every day!
On top of that, ICE was in Rochester yesterday after 3 men who were roofing a house and several groups were alerted that showed up and got them to leave (almost 200 people, including neighbors, clergy and politicos).  Today, ICE was in our town at the Cold Storage Plant and I don't know anything except that they took paper work with names of employees (that they will probably hunt down).  It has reached home.  I believe they have been on the local college campus too.  There is definately an alert system that is posted when ICE is in the area.
Chores before dinner tonight.









Seymour survived his visit with Dr. Leffler and was happy to be home and able to go out to the barn tonight.

Dinner was yummy.  I added the leftover cauliflower casserole as there was not much left.
We pretended that the gazpacho was our salad.
Night all.

PS
Regarding your comments about high numbers and bots....
Why did it just start in the past 5 weeks?

Just Rebel and Buddy


Upper 70s with sunshine from morning 'til night.  The boys must have spent the night out in the big pasture by that tree.





I did not do much today.  Picked more tomatoes, got a haircut and went to Wegmans.
Was in the mood for pancakes and sausage for dinner.  Have not had that for months.
Chores at 7.








Night all.

PS
I have a question for anyone out there who is a blogger or on FaceBook.  In the past four or five weeks have you started getting a gazillion more comments or hits?  My Journal is usually from 45-100 page views and I've gotten up to 800+ lately.  What's going on?  And FB too.  In the past 28 days I've gotten 110,000 hits.  Never happened before.  Got a clue?
