Over the Hump?

Sunny and crisp, but we are headed for some warmer weather (and rain).

I woke up at 5:30 and the sunrise was a beauty.

Gary headed out for the diner to meet his pals for coffee and LW and I were in high gear at the barn.




My timing has gotten better and better.  Done in no time.
One more new blossom and many more buds are in waiting.
Here are my new Sketchers.  I sent this photo to my pal Judy and she immediately went out and found some.  Love being able to just slide in.
Gary now has 160 of the new onions planted.  He is going to give the rest to friends.
He dropped me off at Hanny's at 1pm for bridge and went on to Hamlin to have lunch with our friend, Randy.  He certainly has a social life!!!
Hanny's home is right next to a beautiful pond that is full of geese....even some babies.  We played cards on her enclosed porch.  So relaxing.
Terry gave me a ride home and by then it was after 5.




Got the boys tucked in a little after 7 and with the wind, it was still crispy.  Hopefully this is it for rain sheets.  We were below freezing for two nights and they had some nice warm bran mash with their breakfasts.  I know... they are spoiled, but every horse I have lost was due to colic.




Didn't have much time, so we just had beans and weiners for diner.
Night all.

Pizza With Jenny and Scott

When I headed for the barn this morning there was still frost on the ground.   It really did go down to 29 degrees last night and tonight will be the same.






Little Wonder and I had on our winter coats.
I went down to the library for bridge at 1 and Gary continued to work on his gardens.  The sage and parsley below survived the winter....I can't believe it.
Our strawberries are looking very healthy.  Gary forgot that he ordered 200 onions in addition to the 150 he already planted, so he had to prepare the ground over by the garlic and will start planting them tomorrow.
Jenny called on her way home from work and we wondered if she and Scott would want to go out to dinner with us.  She had already ordered pizza and wings and invited us to her house!  That was nice!  I made a salad and we were there by 5:30.
This is her dog Buster.  He is 14 now and has no problem with Little Wonder when we bring him along.  



Dinner was delicious....



and we were home by 7 to tuck in the boys.












In spite of the cold air, the sunshine was a real booster.
Night all.
