One Ugmo Day

Grey and a very rainy afternoon.

Rebel, Buddy and Little Wonder had shavings on their tails.

After chores I made two big cookie sheets of croutons, which I will use to make stuffing for dinner tomorrow.  We are doing the Thanksgiving thing then, so the rest of the crew can hit 3 other places on Thursday.

Tuesdays are now music days.  Gary C. passed as he was not feeling well, Nancy arrived at 1, and John pulled in at 2 as he forgot we switched it for him so he would be able to get to coaching on time.  Nancy and I had a full hour to mess around on our ukes and then we switched to some other songs for the last hour.  Little by little.  We are coming up with some new stuff that I really want to learn. "I Will: (Beatles) and "I Like Trains" are going to be fun.  Today we worked on "Lodi" and "Summer's End" (Prine).

After they left, I put together some chicken and gravy for dinner.

The boys ate at 5.  Sounds like some snow may be on the way starting tomorrow.

I made a simple salad....romaine, grapes, banana, walnuts....

topped with poppy seed dressing.

So good!

Sid was happy to be in his spot by the fire.  Earlier, he came in the house and sat directly behind Nancy and me....every time we started to sing he meowed!

I could not blame Little Wonder for not wanting to go out to the barn in the rain. Smart dog.

Night all.

 

More Days Like This Would Be Great!

Positively gorgeous morning 'til night.

The Town delivered what was supposed to be half a load of leaves this afternoon.  It's a huge pile and after lunch Gary started moving it to cover up the garlic he planted.  Next,  he will cover the rhubarb and raspberries and there may still be some left.

After lunch I went out to the back pasture and took down some rotten fence boards and put up some rope where they need to be replaced.  They have been up since 1981!

Little Wonder was the supervisor.

All the pastures look like they were just mown and I have not touched them for months.

I made my last pre Thanksgiving trip to Wegmans and picked up more shavings at Country Max.  Now I have enough for 3 months.  May get more before it snows so we won't have to wheel them in when the weather is bad.

Tucked the boys in at 5.  So dark.

Leftover Mac and cheese for dinner with a fresh salad.  Easy.

Night all.

PS

Just got this photo from Steph, who went to visit Daniela in Wisconsin.

Such a huge stadium!  Must have been cold!

 

Finally

Grey, some rain and a decent sunset.

Can you tell the Rebel and Buddy like to sleep down in their shavings?

After chores I decided to do something with a 2 pound bag of cranberries.  Made some sauce and

cranberry orange relish....my favorite.

Yet another blossom.  We had a total of 7 new ones this week and they only lasted for a couple of days.

Gary went for a walk with Jenny this afternoon and I am embarrassed to say that I continued binging (for the third day) my latest Netflix series.  Totally out of control.

Around 4pm the sky got very dark and we had some rain.

By chore time it took a little break before it unloaded again.

Once again, the sunset was beautiful and so was a slice of the moon.

I made Mac and cheese for dinner

with a tomato/cucumber/onion salad with VandO.  A perfect combo.

Now, for a long break from movies/series.

Night all.
