Ridin' In My Car.....

Well Sandra....we did hit 89 degrees and your weather made it to Brockport.  Tomorrow there is a heat advisory and it may feel like 100.

Got up at a reasonable hour this morning and picked some flowers for the kitchen table.

Gary continued getting his garlic orders ready.

At 11, Kim M. and her sister in law Jody came over for 5 bunches and we had a nice long chat.

They went home with flowers too.

Kim has an Art Gallery in Albion, so I took them out to see the Studio before they left

Early afternoon our friend Jackie stopped in to give Gary the new T shirt they will be wearing at Summer Serenades this year. We always end up talking about our community and the many positive things going on here (in spite of the state of our country).

I had a 3:30 appointment with the massage therapist, which made my day.  On top of that, Jenny

invited us to dinner,  All I had to do was make a salad.

Little Wonder always seems to know when we're going there,

Scott grilled some chicken...

Finn got home from the gym just in time to eat....

and it was so delicious!

We even had dessert!

Jenny and Scott sure know how to make great meals,

                                             Got back to the farm just before 8 and here I am.

Night all.

 

Ride #22

 A gorgeous day.  So far, my friend Sandra has not sent us the super hot weather that is now in Minnesota!

Little Wonder let me sleep until 7 this morning.

We went out to the Studio to do a few things....

and the light was so beautiful.

I brought a basket with me to go pick some raspberries and it was a bust.  I only found 2, which I ate.  Checked out the south veggie garden.  The beans are starting to grow up the teepee....

and Gary pulled the rest of the garlic.  He has had so many orders it will be gone in the next two weeks.

I went for a mid morning trike ride as it was not very hot yet.

Some friends around the corner sold their farm and are moving to Vermont.  Today was their last day for a garage sale so I stopped in and had a nice chat with them.  Their dog loves carrying around cardboard boxes.

Such a gorgeous property.

When I got back home I finally baked a rhubarb cake.  Added a few strawberries this time.

Two hibiscus blossoms have appeared.  We have not see any for weeks, so this was a treat

Jenny stopped up on her way back from an event in Rochester and we sent her home with pasta salad, rhubarb cake and flowers for her kitchen table.

We had a non dinner tonight.  Egg rolls.

Below is a photo I took earlier looking through the glass base of a lamp.  Kind of funky.

Done for the day.

Night all.

Getting Ready

Last night it was nice and cool so I could open some windows, and today the temperature went up to 79 but there was a breeze.  Was up and out in the kitchen before 6am.  Way too early.  Finn arrived at 10 to help Gary do a few things

The word is out that Gary's garlic is ready and he had his first customers today.  (Also has 4 or 5 orders).

Andrew Finks mother-in-law saw my post about the garlic and asked if he would bring some back to Albany tomorrow.  Alicia came up with him and they both went home with a bunch.

I started getting the Studio rearranged as I will start teaching there this coming Friday.

It was way too hot in there so I put the air conditioner on and went back out late afternoon.

Little Wonder and I cooled it near the fans and attempted to take a nap.

Gary picked a few blue berries and boy... were they delicious.  Now if we could just get a major load. Tomorrow I will pick some raspberries

By 4:30 I was ready to go back out to the Studio to finish up.

It is really jammed now, with art and music taking place in the same space.

Gary grilled some chicken and we had more pasta salad and pickled beets for dinner.

Little Wonder has been keeping me company.

Night all.
