Temporarily Naked (Buddy and Rebel)

What a weird day weatherwise.  The temperature went up to 57 degrees, we had rain and very high winds.  The snow is gone.  It looked like this at 7am.

It was raining when Little Wonder and I went out to the barn so I put the hay nets under the shed roof.



They preferred eating grass in the rain.
Later, the sun came out for a few hours.

When I got in from the barn Gary and I went upstairs to dismantle this queen sized bed so we could get the box springs down the stairs.
It was a pain in the butt and Gary ended up calling Scott for some help.  He came over with a saw and in 5 minutes, cut through all the metal springs so they could take it down the stairs in two pieces.

Just in time, as Dunn's delivered the twin beds by 1:30.

Now that room has a King sized bed that seems enormous!  I wish it could have arrived before our company got here last week.
Once that was done, I went out and took the blankets off the boys.  Alice was supposed to come for a Spa Day and got sick, so that did not happen.  I think they enjoyed being able to roll in peace.





By 4pm the wind was crazy....gusts over 50mph and it rained for a short while.



Around 4 had just lost power as the transformer across the street got hit again and was flashing like crazy.
I decided to put the boys in before it was totally dark.


I dug out some candles and eventually heated leftovers for dinner.  As soon as we sat at the table the lights came on.  Yay!
Night all,

Are You Afraid of Ice? Why?

Distortion of evidence is out of control in every direction.  Why would anyone who has watched the aggressiveness of ICE not be scared?  Sick.  I can't imagine how my friends who live in Minnesota are feeling.





More of the snow was gone this morning and it was in the high 30s....ending up at 48 with some sunshine before noon.

I made a huge pot of ham and cabbage soup after chores, then took it easy before going to bridge at 1.  Sidney was very interested in hanging with me.


Today my partner (Dave H.) and I came in first, and by the time we left at 4 it was still gorgeous outside.

Out for chores a little early....no need to lug hot water.




Obviously, the boys had done a little rolling and their blankets were dirty.



We had some soup and Limpa rye bread for dinner.
The boys are going to have a short Spa Day with Alice in the morning and then we are going out to lunch.  It's supposed to hit 55 degrees with rain.  
Night all.
PS
We are also having 2 twin beds delivered and Gary is going to have to saw the queen box spring (currently up there) apart so we can get the old bed downstairs to be dumped.  Should be pretty interesting.  At least the new ones will fit up the stairs, and in the end we will have a king sized bed.
