Rain This Morning...Snow Tonight

It was a crazy day weatherwise.  We must have gotten a lot of rain last night, but it eased off by the time I finished chores.  Very windy too.

One of the hibiscus plants must have 8 buds on it.  A couple were starting to open when I got up and by 10am they looked like this. 

I had a major burst of energy and moved around the furniture in the kitchen this morning.  Cleaned up the couch and chairs, vacuumed the rugs and got the fire started while I finished up.

At 1pm we started watching the Bill's game.  It was a nail biter, but they ended up winning.

Two times today it got very blustery and I ended up putting the horses in a little early.  The front paddock is a muddy mess in parts.

Leftover corn chowder for dinner.

Sidney seems to be much better and has finished his 10 days of meds and pro biotics.  Hopefully he will stay that way.

It's only 6:10 and I feel like it's after nine!

Night all.

Remembering Rosie

We had a colorful morning and ended up with a lot of rain, thunder and lightning.  Down the road they had mothball sized hail that covered the grass.

After chores I grabbed a shower and we headed down to Brockport to attend services for our friend Rosie Rich, who passed away a few days ago.  You may remember her from the posts I put up regarding our panel discussions at the college about age and activity.  The students loved her.  So did this entire community!

A couple of years ago, we celebrated her birthday the night of our SWOONERS/CONCERT/PARTY.

That night she was 90 years old.

After the service we had lunch at the church and shortly after we got home it started to pour.

I did not want Rebel or Buddy to get struck by lightning so they went in their stalls until 4:30.  Turned them out for a few minutes while I reset them and it was still pouring.  They made out like bandits in the hay department today!

Tucked back in by 5.

I made the leftover sloppy Joes into sloppy cheese burgers for dinner.  We had plenty of food after the service and did not need much tonight.

LW wanted my dinner, even tho he had scrambled eggs with his.

Night all.

 

Spa Day and Music

Hello sunshine!  This was a much nicer day!

No black coat needed.

Alice arrived around 10:15 for Spa Day.  Buddy was on high alert again, and instead of getting groomed first I put him in a stall to settle down.  He did.

Rebel was sighing off and on as it felt so good.  Check out this photo....he and Little Wonder were both sticking their tongues out.

Buddy was muddy and he was not behaving for Alice, so his grooming was cut short and I finished him after she left.  Bad vibes.

They were both nice and quiet before getting turned back out.  Their Spa days with Alice might be over.

At 1:30 my friend Nancy came over.  She used to play the guitar and knows a LOT about music so we thought it might be fun to teach her to play the baritone ukulele.  We messed around in front of the fire for about an hour and a half.  She is a quick study and sure knows how to sing!  Good at harmonizing too.

When she left, I put together some corn chowder for dinner.

Tucked the boys in a little after 5.

You might know it was not cloudy.  So far I have totally missed the Northern Lights.

Dinner was delicious.

Challah bread and

leftover coleslaw (I know! A weird combination).

Night all
