IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN...

It was over before I went outside.
 The ponies and I are loving this weather.

 Va voom!  The sun came out for the entire day.

 Chester was posing for me.

 After chores I went over to the garden so I could show 
Annette how small our rhubarb is compared to hers.
We have 16 gigantic plants.

At 1 I went down to Brockport for Tai Chi. I did most of the open class and the Form 6 class.
I took a great video and can't get the darn thing to load off my camera.
 When I got home, Lily was sun bathing on the back porch.
 Breakfast for dinner night.


 A baked omlette with onions, peppers and sharp cheddar cheese.
 With a side of home fries.

Called Gary in from the manure pile where he was shoveling....
 and we ate before I went out to do chores.  I'm liking this routine as I don't have to hurry when I'm in the barn.
 The girls are very patient, as they have to wait for me to pick the paddock.
 It had to hit 70 today and there are more of those days ahead of us for the next week....maybe 80 by next Tuesday.


To the west.....

To the East....

My pal Sidney followed the dogs into the house around 7:30.
Night all.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY


I don't know what it's like where you live, but here in Western New York 
we are in the middle of a heat wave.  Odd for March.

71 DEGREES....MARCH?


 A softer morning....
 Working on the back porch, which is kittyland.

 No sun afterall.



 By 8:15 it was trying to make an appearance.


 Cleaned up the girls.
 Went in the house and made some rice pudding.
 At 2 Sally and Judy came up and we practiced Tai Chi for our class tomorrow.
By 4 I was in Brockport getting my haircut.  Stopped at Judy's to see how Gar was coming along with his painting project and decided to stop at Main Street Pizza to pick up some slices for dinner.
 While I was waiting, headed over to the Red Bird and on the way, ran into Buck (who still works for the school district) and ironically has had both knees replaced.  Got lots of scoop.  By the time I got in the store...two more friends were there.  They live down the street and I've taken you there a long time ago, to pick raspberries.  Surprise, surprise!  They are going to the hospital together....both getting their right knees replaced.  Is this an epidemic or what?

Anyway, the Red Bird is a tea shoppe.  In the tea room, were two moms and 3 daughters having a tea party.  They all were properly dressed and even had on hats.  What a sight!  Took some photos but they did not want them posted.  So sweet!

That's the Red Bird, down on the corner.
 Anyway, I picked up the pizza and went back to the farm.  

Made a quick salad.
 And we ate.
 Gar went down to Jen's to watch Finn and Coop, and I went out to do evening chores.
 They were waiting for me....

 It was still so bright....

 I went out and picked the back pasture.
 Pretty soon that grass is going to start growing.


Night all.
