Short.....

In a nutshell. Sunny and gorgeous.  Bridge at the library.  Andrea here for hay etc.  Too late to make dinner.  Not much picture taking.

Night all.

 

Earth Day

What a gorgeous day.  66 degrees and brilliant.

By 9:30 I was out mowing the lawn.

Everything was so green.

The daffodils are starting to fade and the tulips are appearing.

We never planted these pink flowers....where in the heck did they come from?

After I finished the lawn, decided to hose down the lawn tractors.

Finn arrived at 10 to help Gary move the last of the hay downstairs and then they moved brush to the road for pickup on Monday.

We took him to the Churchville Grill for lunch, and who was there?  Alice!

My afternoon was quiet....

No need to make dinner...Little Wonder and I did go for a short walk.

How about these strawberry plants?  They're really kicking into gear...and so is the rhubarb.

Night all.

 

Harmonica

The sunrise was nice....still chilly but much warmer than yesterday.

And...the daffodils survived another night at 25 degrees.

Gary was off to yoga and coffee, and when he got home he joined us for some music.  The other Gary brought along his friend Dorothy and we had a great time messing around by the fire.  

John was also here and had a good time playing his harmonica.

Eventually, we are going to catch on to all these songs.

At four I drove over to Heritage Bell Farm to pick up two loaves of Challah bread....

Little Wonder joined me.

It does not get any better than this.

Mac salad, hot dogs, chips and dill pickles for dinner.

Night all.

 

Snow

It's pretty amazing that we can be at 74 one day and two days later have the temperature drop to 27 at night.  Last evening it started to snow....big flakes.  People on the expressway had very poor visibility.  By this morning it was starting to disappear and we almost made 40 degrees.

I had the fire going all day.  Still very worried about Sidney.  He is skinny and not doing well in the eating department.  Today he had a little turkey and a couple bites of tuna fish.  Liked staying warm by the fire.

He also enjoyed taking long naps on the bed.

It was one of my lazier days.  I'll have to take a trike ride tomorrow.

Fortunately I pulled off a good dinner.  Pork chops with caramelized onions, turned left over mashed potatoes into pancakes.....and a salad.

Now, it's a little after 6:30pm and it's the most beautiful part of the day.

Most of the daffodils survived the freeze.....let's see if they can do it again tonight.

Night all.
