A Major Vegging Day

I am so tired of grey and windy.

Mid morning I went to Wegmans for a couple of items and came home with four bags full.  This happens to me every time I go there.

After lunch we started the fire and I might as well have taken a sleeping pill.  The rest of the day was spent binging a series.  By mid afternoon I am good for nothing.

Chores a little before 5.  Rebel and Buddy braved the wind chill temperature that was around 11 for most of the day.  A good night for a little warm bran and warm water.

For some reason I was in the mood for soft shelled tacos tonight.

I like to rip up the shells and made a taco salad.  Gary likes his the traditional way.

We are playing music tomorrow.  Maybe that will wake me up,

Night all.

 

Another Win For The Bills

The weather was up and down today but the sunrise was beautiful.

We woke up to green grass.  Fed the boys behind the grooming room and was expecting rain later.

Instead, we got snow.

We were in the middle of a squall.

Little Wonder and I were covered by the time we got back to the house.

I made a big bowl of coleslaw as we were going to Jenny's to watch the Bill's/Jaguar game at 1.  She made us chicken Philly Cheese subs (topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions and Provolone cheese).  Also had some Au Jus for us to dip into.  Perfect with the French fries and coleslaw on the side.

Little Wonder slept through the entire game.

As per usual, the 4th quarter made my stomach ache.  They won in the last minute and will continue in the playoffs.

It was in the high 20s when we headed home and I think LW was happy to be wearing his sweater. 

Got back around 4:30 and we went straight out to tuck in Rebel and Buddy.  Of course I forgot my phone and did not get any photos.  Oh well.

Right now it is pretty frigid out there and we are supposed to get more high winds later.

It's not too often that we start a fire at 5pm and I'm so glad it's cranking.

Night all.

I Love Seeing Grass in January

Last night I went out to the barn around 8:30....groomed the boys and put on their blankets as the temperature had dropped.  So glad I did it, as we were in the 30s this morning.

I gambled that it was not going to rain for awhile and fed them behind the grooming room

As per usual, LW waited patiently for me to finish cleaning the stalls.

Gary is catching a little break as he doesn't have to come out to do water at night until we get back to freezing temperatures.  He just does it in the morning before he grabs the wheel barrow.

It was a perfect day to clean up the pastures.  There was more manure out there than I thought.

This afternoon I sat by the fire and binged the series I am watching.  It is very unusual and was recommended by Jenny.  Have any of you seen Ted Lasso on Apple TV?  Even tho it gets pretty corny, there is a message in every episode that I have liked,

Around 3:30 I went to Brockport to pick up a couple more pillows for that king sized bed and also found some stick matches.  Not too many stores (like Wegmans) carry the big ones anymore.  We almost ran out when the power was off yesterday so I grabbed 4 boxes.  Around 4 it was raining again and the boys were hanging out behind the grooming room getting wet.

Once again they were tucked in a little early.

Gary picked the indoor this morning and we noticed that a window had been broken on the West side.  Since I leave the side door open, pigeons get in there and I think a hawk did them all in.  Feathers on the footing and not a bird to be found.  Hopefully we got every little piece of glass.  Now we have to cover the window with something before it snows again.  I assume that the hawk broke it to get out while the side door was closed.

Not in a cooking mood, so we had naan bread pizzas and a salad tonight.

Tasted good.

Looking forward to the Bills game tomorrow.  So many people from this area have gone to Florida to watch it. We are going to Jenny's and will have lunch while we are cheering them on.

Night all.

PS

I started my Journal on February 22, 2008 after reading the BEDLAM FARM blog (Jon Katz...the author) that was recommended to me by a friend.  I decided that I could do this and since then, have posted all but two days....once I was in the hospital and once we had no power.  As of tonight I have had 4, 013, 364 hits.  It amazes me that people are interested in what goes on around here.  I love the way we find each other and learn so much that you would think we are neighbors.  I have only met about 6 of my followers in person and would love to meet more.  Currently, I am connecting with several almost every day.  Little Wonder also has a following on FaceBook. He has been on there every day (THE ADVENTURES OF LITTLE WONDER) and now he is 10 years old.  He is followed from Nova Scotia, to France to New Zealand.......  It has been a lot of fun!  I have really enjoyed meeting so many people on and off line!
