The Rain Arrived

This morning I needed an umbrella and the hay had to go under the shed roof.

Little Wonder got pretty wet.

When we got back in the house it was cold enough to have a fire in the kitchen.

A little after 1 we had some very hight winds and a tree hit the wires across the street making the transformer go crazy.  It sent off sparks about 4 times and the sound scared the heck out of LW.  While we had no power I actually did a little reading.

Eventually the rain stopped and the sun came out.  Of course Rebel and Buddy were wet.

Sidney is determined to be a full time house cat.

The sky was gorgeous tonight when I went out for chores.

Rebel went in Buddy's stall and the light was dramatic.

Something was spooking them from the time I got out there.  Buddy kept going in and out and talked Rebel into it.

We ate dinner when I was finished.

A spinach/walnut/apple/ craisin salad and my standard cauliflower/cheese casserole topped with hard boiled eggs.

It was good!

Finishing up early so I can watch Rachel and see what she has to say about No Kings Day.

Night all.

Lots of Rain is on the Way

A beautiful morning that eventually became grey and very windy.

Gary went out for coffee and could not find a paper (Buffalo News).

I went to Wegmans and Country Max when he got home.

Glad I did not have to do anything special today.  Watched the end of The Diplomat series and as usual had to rewind a couple times....I kept falling asleep.

As the afternoon went on....

it got VERY windy.

Leftover lasagna for dinner.  (Just about the time Sara and Tim were supposed to get back to Kentucky).

As soon as I went out the door to feed Rebel and Buddy it started to rain.

Got them tucked in and by then it was pouring.

Night all.

PS

I was very happy with the national No Kings report.  One of my FB videos of the Batavia rally has been seen over 2000 times and my photo post is at about 1200.   (The one with all the signs).  It sure felt good to make the effort to stand up!  Monroe County and the Rochester area had thousands at the bigger rallies and the surrounding towns and villages were in the hundreds.  So many and so peaceful.

 

No Kings Day

A different start to the day.  Sara and Tim had to leave after breakfast so we ate, they packed up the truck and Bea was the first inside.  Such a very sweet dog!

We had not seen these two since 2018.  Way too long ago.

Sara picked a bouquet of leaves to take back to Kentucky.

Chores were a little late, but Buddy and Rebel did not seem to mind.

Alice arrived a little after 11 to go to Batavia with us for the No Kings Rally.  It is our third, and by far the biggest.  Others were taking place in Rochester and surrounding towns....so far all looked very peaceful.  We got very few "birds" this time.

I loved all the signs.

By the time we left it had really warmed up and Gary treated us to lunch at a very nice restaurant by the fairgrounds.

I had to order one of their specials as it is seldom on menus and is one of my favorites.  Sloppy Joes and a salad.  REALLy good!

Gary got a big breakfast...

and Alice had a chicken parm sandwich.  I would definately go back there and can't even remember the name of it.  Country something.

Home by 3 and ready for a nap.

Chores at 6:15.

Night all.

PS

I am very impressed that millions of people are willing to stick their necks out and peacefully push for a return to democracy.  To say that they are anti American and terrorists is so false.
