Name That Tune

Another beautiful morning.  Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio to set up for music at 1.

I ended up adding a few more layers to my flower painting.

Only Darryl was able to play today so I amped my uke for a change.  What song is this????

I did a little more mowing as Ed took his tractor home to try and figure out what's wrong.

There is still a lot more that needs to be done.

Another one.  I don't remember having this many blossoms.

A neighbor dropped off a big box of organic apples and I may have to take some of them out to Buddy and the rest of the herd.

Dinner was so good

Night all.

PS

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Cooper, who is now 21!

 

Looking for the Horse's Golf Course

A cool morning with no humidity and I needed to wear a sweatshirt.  

Woke up to this beauty.

Little Wonder wandered down to the back 40 and I had to go over by the indoor and called him to come home.  He loves to take that trek.

Pulled a lot of dried up dill out of the raised beds.  There are so many huge marigolds out there.

Our neighbors (Annette and Ed) stopped over to check out the pastures before he came back to start mowing.  The big pasture has not been mown all summer and I will never let it go like that again.

Before he got here, I mowed the outdoor arena.  It was long too, but I could at least mow it.  I really miss having them look like a golf course.

His tractor was heating up and he was not able to get very far.  Will come back in the morning.

Seeing that it was a beautiful day, decided to mow the back pasture and the lane I have been keeping open for Little Wonder.  Just in case Ed can't finish.

I imagine Ed will have to mow the big pasture twice or I will never get it back in shape.  So much grass.

Gary made a batch of sauce this morning.

See that honkin' cucumber?  It must be about 14 inches long.  It's a Japanese variety and is crunchy delicious.

I continued learning more about the foods I need to eat and forgot to take pictures of dinner.

Night all,

 

The Gardens

My kind of day.  Stayed around 70 with no humidity.

Little Wonder started his morning eating grass.  Fortunately he seemed ok and did not barf in the house.

The garden in the middle of the driveway is not looking so good as the bee balm is drying out.  We do have a lot of butterflies tho....and some gold finches.  This rest of the gardens are still in full bloom.

I absolutely love this weather.

After lunch I went for trike ride #32.  So much more energy when it's cool.

The home stretch....

Spent part of the afternoon reading the labels on all the food in our house as I attempt to get a grip on my sodium and potassium intake.  Now I have a list for the frig and will be more thoughtful about what I'm eating.  If I want to eat something bad, I'm going to have to really watch it the rest of the time.

Caught a little break and then we drove over to Scott's to see what's cooking.  LW joined us.

Now he is working on the back roof.  Progress.

Yep.  One more.

Dinner was a replay.

Night all.

 

Flying

A very beautiful day without humidity zapping us.

Such a dramatic sunrise.

After our morning groove, Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio for awhile.

I was working on an example for my next class.  They got their flower drawings completed and transferred to watercolor paper and will be ready to start painting.  

Layers...

and more layers....

Still not done.

After that, I went for a trike ride.  The cooler it is, the more energy I have.  So far I have not figured out how to put my FB videos (which are crisp and clear) on my Journal....so I take a video of my video and can't keep my camera still.  

That's why the margins look weird.

This is where I was flying....coming down the hill just letting the trike go with no breaking and taking a video at the same time.  Wonder how fast I was going!  This was my 31st ride and they are still getting viewed like crazy...posted it around noon and in 20 minutes it had 100 views....now, over 500.  I have no clue where these people are coming from but they must like the music!!!  And the videos are pretty strange to get so much attention.

Anyway, when I was almost home, there was Gary raking up some grass to put on his raised beds.

Jenny stopped up for a basket of cucumbers, potatoes and tomatoes.  She had just spent two hours putting shingles in a dumpster over at Scotts.  He was working on the back roof today and needs some time off.  So does she!

Here's the blossom that was waiting to open up last night.

Little Wonder kept Gary company out on the porch while he was grilling dinner

So good.  There's something about grilled fresh pineapples....

Night all.
