After Hours at the Library

Talk about crispy!  42 degrees this morning and we could have a frost tonight.


Got new bedspreads for one of the upstairs bedrooms and it sure improves the room.  Very farmie.  I'll have to take a picture.  Other than that....had a quiet morning reading more political garbage.  Jenny and Gary decided to go for a walk this afternoon out at Hamlin Beach.  Little Wonder probably would have loved it, but he did not go.
Instead, we went out to the Studio and I got carried away working on my latest painting.





Gary and Jenny got back around 5 and she loaded a few corn stalks in her car before leaving.
There was some very good light late afternoon.


We had plans to go to a fundraiser at the Library tonight and just before we were going to leave the power went out.  There was an accident down the road.  Gary stayed home with LW and started a fire with a few candles burning for light.  I drove down to the Library.






My friend Nancy was there and we sat together chatting until it was time to go.
Check out the progress Scott has made on the back of the house.  He said it should be done by tomorrow.
Here are a few shots Jenny grabbed out at Hamlin Beach.




It's late!
Night all.

Gary's Birthday Dinner

This was one crazy morning.  It rained last night and by this 8am I could hardly see out the windows to the north. 68 degrees.  Last night we had our first fire and tomorrow we may wake up to snowflakes.



Before 8:30 we were getting severe thunderstorm warnings.
Fortunately it let up by 10.

Little Wonder and I decided to gamble on the weather and drove out to Glen Darach Farm to see Buddy.


Little Wonder headed straight for Andrea.


Buddy is very happy with his mini pal.  Gave him some apples and carrots but did not groom him as he was very happy in the pasture.


Andrea and I talked for over an hour and LW was very patient.  We headed back to the farm and got there a little before 1.
Tonight Jenny and Scott took us (and Finn) to Grampa Sam's to have a belated celebration,,,,Gary's birthday.  It's been our go to restaurant for years and always satisfies.





Delicious.  I ate half of my entree and hopefully my numbers were not too out of control.

We all had a taste of banana cream pie for dessert.   Perfect.  Definately ready for a nap.
Night all.
