Lost Track of Time

Only 3 degrees this morning!  So crispy.

I had a very early phone call and got out to the barn a little late.  By that time the sun was in the front paddock and I could put the hay in a warm spot.


It was beaming into the hay stall and hit the baling twine.


As soon as I got back in the house....took a quick shower and headed to Brockport for a lunch meeting with a new friend.  What a great time with a 3 1/2 hour conversation.  By far, the longest lunch I ever had.
On the way home I stopped at Wegmans for a few things
By 5 the temperature was a roaring 22 degrees.


Had no time to cook dinner, so we ate a pizza that I picked up.
I sure have not been in a picture taking mode.
Night all.

34-39!

Around 30 degrees today....felt colder and we had snow off and on.



Little Wonder will continue to have bad hair days until this coming Friday.

I plugged away at my book in front of the fire and made some egg salad for lunch. Also worked on a song for awhile (Ooh La La by the Faces 1973).
After that, it was time to get ready for the Bill's game.


It was a nail biter until the end of the 4th quarter, but Josh and the team came through for the win.
I'm sure most of my readers could care less about this football stuff, but we have to admit that we are part of the Buffalo Bills Mafia.  The home team......

I got things ready for dinner and went out for chores at 5.
Little Wonder assisted and it was still snowing.
The temperature in the barn has been around 30 for the past couple of days.  Not bad!





I had thawed out more Thanksgiving leftovers and made a carrot/walnut/jello salad.... served it with turkey and gravy over mashed potatoes.  Another easy meal.
Ready to get back out to the fire.
Night all.

Chores and Chores



Much warmer today.  Thank you very much.





Little Wonder was having a bad hair day.

I had a do nothing day.  Did a lot of reading by the fire....Buddy's Mom stopped in and had some corn chowder for lunch....I highlighted my hair....read some more and by then it was chore time again.  So nice to have it milder with no wind.  Around 31 today.







Once again the sky to the East was full of color.  It looks a lot more subtle than this in person, but when I load the photos the division of colors show up.  Val....so far I have not been able to get rid of the green from the barn light.  Now, I am getting used to it and like the contrast.

Leftovers for dinner.  This time the cheesy cauliflower was served on toast.
Can't believe I left my post in draft yesterday.  Thank you Sandra, for checking on me!
Night all.

The Super Moon


THIS NEVER GOT POSTED FRIDAY NIGHT.  SORRY ABOUT THAT.  STUCK IN DRAFT. 

 A NEW ONE WILL BE POSTED TONIGHT.

I tried to get a photo of the moon last night, but it did not turn out.  At 6:30 this morning it was gorgeous.



Within the hour the sun was out.


It felt like 2 degrees and I put hay in the warmest spot I could find.



Gary headed down to Brockport and I checked on my computer.  I am still getting a lot of hits on FB.....66,000 in the past 28 days.  A couple months ago I got over 200,000.  Still do not understand it.  Is anyone else getting an outrageous number of hits on FB? Things are back to normal on this blog.
Sidney and 
Little Wonder like to hang with me while I'm doing this.


Had a nice call from my pal Sandra, who is a blogging friend from Minnesota.  Had to cut it short to go get my hair cut (will call you back on Saturday).
I finished putting dinner together and went out for chores at 5.  Fortunately we hit about 28 degrees today.


Little Wonder assisted....no coat since it only takes us about 10-15 minutes at night.

Just before we sat down to eat, Gary saw the moon rising and I tried to get a good shot.  Didn't happen.


Dinner:  a cheesy cauliflower/hard boiled egg casserole and bean salad.  Total veggie and so good.

Night all.
