Time Out For Lunch With Nancy

This was one ugmo day.  Grey and spritzing off and on the whole time.

The hibiscus blossoms have been on a roll....1 more this morning.

It was windy and I put the hay behind the grooming room.

We are having company tomorrow night, so when I got back in the house, started working on the makings for shish kebobs.  Chicken, onions, peppers, mushrooms and pineapple with a balsamic/soy sauce/pineapple juice marinade.

I had so many mushrooms they would not fit in the big bowl...

so I sautéed the rest with peppers and onions to put them on Naan bread pizza for dinner.

At noon I met my friend Nancy at 58 Main for a 2 1/2 hour lunch.  First time we have done this and we talked our brains out!  Such a good time.  Took it easy when I got back to the farm and went out  

for chores just before dark.

The fire felt especially good when I got back in.

I probably overloaded the pizza with veggies, but they tasted great.

So here we are.  I am ready to go to bed....just like Little Wonder.

Night all.

 

Stuck!

Yikes!  Snow on the raised beds this morning!

Mary Pat was up and out before I did morning chores.  She had a flight out of Rochester, headed for North Carolina.

The boys definately needed their sheets back on.  Cold and wet.

Time for some new shavings.

I had an 11am appointment at the Brockport Animal Hospital for Sidney.  This is the first time he has been in this new carrier and he was perfect.  The vet said no worms or Giardia.  He is now on probiotics and an antibiotic to see if we can get rid of his stinky diarrhea.  Hope I can get the pills into him.

This adorable 10 week old puppy was there.

Got home in time to change my clothes and headed back to Brockport for bridge.  Skip was my partner and we came in second.

Evening chores a little after 5.  It was still ugly out there.

Dinner.....leftovers with an apple and a piece of tuscan bread.  Weird, but good.

We had a nice call from our granddaughter, Ariana.  So nice to catch up.  Can't wait to see her in December when she will be in town for a few days, going to a Buffalo Bills game.

Just heard from Mary Pat.  Her plane hit some birds and was not able to fly out to Raleigh, so she is stuck in Washington over night!  She must be so thrilled!

Night all.

 

The Blue Wave Brought Some Rain

First of all, I am very appreciative of all the people who stood up and voted for decency.  It makes me hopeful that we can return to caring for others without being bullied or scared.  A challenge, but at least we are trying.

Not too cold this morning, but very dull.

Gary went to Brockport for a haircut and coffee and when he got home I ran a whole bunch of errands.

Dropped off a sample at the Brockport Animal Hospital (Sidney) as he has not been himself for awhile and he has an appointment tomorrow at 11 to see if I can get some meds to get him back to normal.  Then I went to TJ Maxx, Wegmans and finally hit Country Max for some shavings.

Mary Pat was busy all day and got home just as I was headed out for evening chores.  It rained much of the afternoon and got very windy. 

Rebel and Buddy were wet, but they did spend much of the time under the shed roof.

The view to the west was not quite so gorgeous tonight.

I did make a good dinner.

BBQued pork with carrots and caramelized onions, boiled potatoes and a salad.

Little Wonder is keeping me company and pretty soon we will go out by the fire.

Night all.
