A Record Breaker

We hit 73 degrees today.  No more ice. No more snow,

At 10am I drove out to Glen Darach Farm and was able to spend an hour and a half with Buddy.

He got a good grooming after I took off his blanket and stood like a champ. It was so nice to be with him.

Before leaving I put his sheet on as some crazy weather was expected.

After I got back to the farm I had to go to Wegmans and on my way home, received an alert for a tornado watch.  I sure hope that doesn't happen.

A package of onions was delivered to Gary yesterday and today he worked up one of the raised beds and planted them.

My back was bugging me this afternoon so I took it easy and was happy to have a nice big heating pad to lean on.  I truly think that not being as active is having an impact....tight muscles.  It's a good thing I am going to the massage therapist on Monday.  Little Wonder kept me company.

Before dinner the wind kicked up and the sky looked pretty wild.

French toast and bacon.  I just did not feel like cooking something special.

This photo was taken in a dark room with no flash....LW was saying what the heck!

Night all.

 

Ice Cubes

This morning we woke up to black ice on the driveway and the trees were loaded and bending over.  Too bad I forgot to take some photos.  Gary postponed going to Brockport at his usual time as he did not want to break any bones getting to the car.

Rebel's flowers are gone, but I will always keep these butterflies.

I decided to make another batch of peanut butter cookies....and boy do they taste great.  I froze many so we would not eat them all at once.

Perfect with Gary's coffee.

It was a relatively quiet day.  Sid and

Little Wonder spent a lot of time on my lap.

At 3 I drove out to Glen Darrach Farm and dropped off a mounting block for Andrea.  Organized Buddy's tack trunk in preparation for his move, and will go back tomorrow for a good grooming and some photos.

Leftover sauce and meatballs on spags for dinner.

Night all.

 

One Rainy, Ugmo Day

Little Wonder woke me up before 6:30 to go outside.  Fortunately I could go back to bed for a little while.

I did a few things around the house and by 1 was at bridge.  It was Rosalie' birthday....

and Terry brought a beautiful cheesecake to celebrate.

Close in the card department, but no cigar today.

Before I left for the library I made some sauce with meatballs in my little crockpot so I would not have to start from scratch when I got home.  Meatball Naan bread pizzas were on tap....

with a cucumber salad.

This is what made my day!

Maybe there is some justice out there.  Too bad so much damage has been done, but it goes to show you the power people have when they work together for decency!  Now for the next firing.  Onward!

Night all.

 

50 Degrees

The problem is...tomorrow it will be 38 degrees with a 90% chance of rain.

I took Little Wonder out this morning and picked up some sticks in attempt to start working on the yard.  There must be thousands of black walnuts on the ground and moving them is going to be a real pain.

Buddy's Mom called and said that she has found a place for him to go and ironically it is a farm owned by a friend of mine.  She has one horse left (quarter horse) and he would like some company.  If this works out, I would be so happy.  Buddy would be too.

Meanwhile....Big Bird made it through another winter.

Almost all of the snow is gone now.

I spent a lot of time on the phone this afternoon and caught up with my friend Hanny.

We had a picnic kind of dinner.  Made some Mac salad and had two pieces of ham left that

Gary grilled with a topping of mustard and brown sugar.  Then, I turned them into grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

So good.

Night all.

Still.......

 

We Be Jamin

 I woke up before 6 to get some shots of the lunar eclipse and failed.  Must have missed it.

The sunrise was beautiful, but no moon in sight.

The kitchen garden looked so grim.

My buddies kept me company.

Gary went to yoga and out to lunch.  Gary, Darryl, Nancy and John were all here to play some music at 1.  That always adds to my day in such a positive way.

We are still messing around with new songs and the amp for the bass was way too close to my phone when I tried recording a few songs.

We are learning to play some three bar blues songs and started learning this one.  So fun to just jam around.

Leftover ham and scalloped potatoes with peas and a salad for dinner.

Night all.
