A Change Is On The Way

It was warm enough today, but the temperature dropped a lot when the rain arrived.  Around 9 Gary was ready to go to Brockport for coffee and his newspaper.  I had him drop me off at Wegmans on the way and he was waiting for me when I was checking out....with our pal Merrill.

My plan for the day was to drop some stuff off at Andrea's....more blankets, coolers, half chaps and a few other things.  I got it out of the grooming room and Gary loaded it into my car.

Little Wonder loves Andrea so he went with me.

I checked out all the horses and we had a nice long chat.

It's prime time for the flowering trees in this area.  Could have taken so many photos on the way home.

Took it easy before starting on dinner.  Made a big pot of ham and cabbage soup and then attempted to go for a trike ride (#5).  It was nice when I left the house.....

and within a short distance it started to rain and I had to turn around and go home.

I'm worried about Sidney...he does not want to eat.  I've tried everything...turkey, moist cat food, dry, tuna fish....you name it. Got any ideas?  He is drinking and hardly touches his food.  He is 17 years old and has always looked like he's 2,

The soup was loaded with flavor and I have enough for another meal.  Yay.

Tonight we were on duty to pick up Jenny and Scott from the airport.  I filled a jar with some soup and picked daffodils to take along.

It poured all the way in, and was twice as bad coming home....but we made it.

A lot different from the weather Jenny and Scott Just had in Florida.

We have two nights in the 20s coming up!  Yikes.

Night all.

A Long Shower

This turned into one gorgeous day....so much sunshine.

It was the same old same old start to the morning.

Around 10 I decided to put Little Wonder in the shower with me and gave him a quick bath and a long rinse.  He was a perfect gentleman, and after toweling him off...just sat there while I dried his hair.  Then, I had to do a load of laundry because I used so many towels.

By late afternoon we must have been near 70 degrees.

Gary continued working on his raised beds.

I made myself go for another trike ride....have to get in a groove and this time I went down a different road.  Having a ball finding music for these short videos.  I love Jack Johnson.

The home stretch.

Dinner was an instant replay.

So much good light....

Night all.

Almost forgot!  Kathy sent me a photo of Buddy and Cotton taking it easy this morning.

 

Lots of Rain, Thunder and Lightning

Today I got up before 7 and the sunrise was beautiful.

Last night we got all kinds of warnings on my phone for heavy rain and lightning.  It was pretty wild out there and everything was wet this morning.

I went back in the house and had the usual routine with Little Wonder and Sidney.

I had a small burst of energy....did some laundry, changed the sheets, started cleaning out a closet 

and went for a trike ride.

At one I was down at the library for bridge.  Came in third.  It was Andrea's birthday and Ann made her a delicious cake.

Back home at 4:30.  Fortunately I had made a batch of sauce and meatballs before leaving.

Check out these strawberries ....they are really starting to grow.

 I saw a comment the other day that really cracked me up.

"Someone told me to put horse manure on my strawberries and I'll never do that again.  I'm sticking to whipped cream."

I never remember the name of this plant, but the blossoms are showing up all over the place

Gary was putting grass clippings on his raised beds....the onions and garlic are taking off.

After the daffodils, the tulips are going to appear.

Pasta and salad for dinner.

I need a nap.

Night all.
