48-10

A busy day.

Little Wonder wanted to go out at 6:40am.  What a beautiful sunrise.






Went back to bed for a good hour.

Our friend Ed, brought over is tractor and started working on the big pasture at 10am.





He continued while I went down to the library for a meeting.  When I got back to the farm it looked like this.  It's going to have to be mown one more time before I can handle it with my lawn tractor....so much heavy grass.  Once it dries it will be easier to recut.
This was homecoming weekend at the college.  Today started off with a parade down Main St.
We were invited to the college president's box to watch the game and have lunch.
It was my first time there.
So well set up.  If you look out the window to the West you can watch soccer and to the left you can see the football game.
Many friends, lots of alumni, and we were able speak with the new President and her husband.
I indulged in the food department, while trying not to overdo it.

Brockport beat RPI 48-10.  They were really cooking today.
Gary brought me home and went back to the village to visit our friend Ulpi, who was not able to go to the game.  Dropped off some veggies.
No big dinner tonight....that's for sure.  2 pieces of French toast.  Have to get back on the wagon tomorrow.
Night all.

Another Opening

Plenty of sunshine.  Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio this morning.  I took the tape off my sampler and it looks much better.


I had demonstrated the wet on wet painting in class....let it dry and started adding stuff.
Did not like the direction I was going in and tried to make some changes before adding colored pencil.
On a sunny day, the vibe in the Studio is so relaxing with the music playing.  Today it was our friend Chris Wilson.
I'm still not finished, but here's where I stopped working today.  Kind of funky.
For the 100th time I went back to my overpainted flowers.
I quit.

Little Wonder gave up on me and went back to the house.

I did get in Ride #34 before lunch while the temperature was still good.
Gary planted a bunch of mums in front of the house today.  That certainly was an improvement.
I took a short rest with my buddy....
then made another batch of applesauce.
This evening we drove out to Albion for an Art Opening at Marti's on Main.

Three women, who were connected to the College at Brockport, were being featured.
First....Jennifer Hecker.  She is currently in the art department at the college and has shown all over the country.  Glass is her thing.




2nd, Roseanne Mascari.  She is a good friend, fine musician, singer, and has produced so many paintings!



3rd. Jill Gussow.  She used to teach at the college and we have one of her paintings.
Kim, the gallery owner and an artist herself, has had connections with all three.



What a great turnout!
Home before dark.
Night all.
PS
The Buffalo Bills came through again.  Great game.
