Snow

It's pretty amazing that we can be at 74 one day and two days later have the temperature drop to 27 at night.  Last evening it started to snow....big flakes.  People on the expressway had very poor visibility.  By this morning it was starting to disappear and we almost made 40 degrees.

I had the fire going all day.  Still very worried about Sidney.  He is skinny and not doing well in the eating department.  Today he had a little turkey and a couple bites of tuna fish.  Liked staying warm by the fire.

He also enjoyed taking long naps on the bed.

It was one of my lazier days.  I'll have to take a trike ride tomorrow.

Fortunately I pulled off a good dinner.  Pork chops with caramelized onions, turned left over mashed potatoes into pancakes.....and a salad.

Now, it's a little after 6:30pm and it's the most beautiful part of the day.

Most of the daffodils survived the freeze.....let's see if they can do it again tonight.

Night all.

 

Marti's On Main

What a weird day.  In the 40s with brilliant sunshine, hail and heavy rain.

We had a very relaxed morning.....

and at noon headed for Albion to attend a 16th Anniversary celebration at a friend's gallery.

Many years ago my student's had a couple of shows there.

As per usual, we were greeted by all kinds of goodies.

Kim and Neal, the owners, put a lot of work into this building and I absolutely love this room.

Of course I was drawn to these three masterpieces.

The photo below was taken at a bad angle but it was my favorite painting!

Gary fell in love with this one and bought it.

Met some new people and could not believe the connections we had.  A fun afternoon.

Now we have a fire going and are back in the "winter feeling" groove.

Night all.

 

A Change Is On The Way

It was warm enough today, but the temperature dropped a lot when the rain arrived.  Around 9 Gary was ready to go to Brockport for coffee and his newspaper.  I had him drop me off at Wegmans on the way and he was waiting for me when I was checking out....with our pal Merrill.

My plan for the day was to drop some stuff off at Andrea's....more blankets, coolers, half chaps and a few other things.  I got it out of the grooming room and Gary loaded it into my car.

Little Wonder loves Andrea so he went with me.

I checked out all the horses and we had a nice long chat.

It's prime time for the flowering trees in this area.  Could have taken so many photos on the way home.

Took it easy before starting on dinner.  Made a big pot of ham and cabbage soup and then attempted to go for a trike ride (#5).  It was nice when I left the house.....

and within a short distance it started to rain and I had to turn around and go home.

I'm worried about Sidney...he does not want to eat.  I've tried everything...turkey, moist cat food, dry, tuna fish....you name it. Got any ideas?  He is drinking and hardly touches his food.  He is 17 years old and has always looked like he's 2,

The soup was loaded with flavor and I have enough for another meal.  Yay.

Tonight we were on duty to pick up Jenny and Scott from the airport.  I filled a jar with some soup and picked daffodils to take along.

It poured all the way in, and was twice as bad coming home....but we made it.

A lot different from the weather Jenny and Scott Just had in Florida.

We have two nights in the 20s coming up!  Yikes.

Night all.
