Bon Voyage!

In the 30s this morning with a frost warning last night and one for tonight too.

This morning one of the hibiscus plants popped out it's first bloom since moving inside.

Scott and Megan organized all of their stuff and

did some book signing before they left for Montreal.

When they left I made lunch and after 12:30 I remembered that I was supposed to go to bridge today (1pm).  I had no time to take a shower and wore my barn clothes.  Skip was my partner and we came in first.  Home a little after 4:30 and the sun was doing it's thing coming in through the west windows.

I picked up a couple of slices of pizza for dinner as I was totally our of gas and did not want to make anything.

Just before chores, our friend Doc Edwards dropped off some fried cakes and half a gallon of the best cider (Apple Crisp) I have ever tasted.  He was on his way home from DC and stopped at a farm market that makes the very best donuts.  So generous and so good.

The boys were waiting for their diner...it was almost dark.

The moon was putting on quite a show.

Now it's time to kick back and do nothing.

Night all.

 

What A Day...A Dissertation

So busy I am off to a very late start.  It's 38 degrees out there right now.

Cold this morning too.

At least the sun was brilliant.

Alice arrived at 10 for Spa Day and Megan joined us.

The boys had a good grooming and we were done a little before noon.

Gary and Scott were out for a tour of the farm just as we were going back to the house.

At 1pm they were picked up by JW and were taken down to the college for a taping of an interview at the TV studio.  They got home around three and by 4:30 we were down at Fazools for an early dinner.

We were hosted by JW from the Writer's Forum.  Then he, Scott and Megan went over to the college to meet with college students for a question and answer session.

Gary and I got back home by 6:30 and I went out to tuck the boys in.  The moon was beautiful.

At 7:30 we went down to the campus for Scott's presentation.

Some of our friends were there.

Scott did several reading from his book....(Soil and Spirit).

Jim Wharton does an amazing job with the Writers Forum.

Then he answered questions, and ended with a book signing.

When we walked out to the car to leave, the moon was magical.

We have really enjoyed our time with Scott and Megan.  Tomorrow they are off to Canada.

So tired!

Night all.
