Heading For the 50s

It was around 70 early in the day and dropped to the 50s by late afternoon.  It's going to stay that way until the end of the month.

Now that the windows are out of his stall, Rebel can stick his head out while he waits for me in the morning.

After chores Gary ran some errands and I heard a knock on the door.  My friend Mary R. was in town as both of her kids graduated this weekend from SUNY Brockport.  She and I were on the Town Board together for 4 years and now she lives in North Carolina.  Her kids live here in Brockport with their Dad, who also joined us, and we were able to do some serious catching up.  Really miss her,

Little Wonder had not seen her in a very long time and recognized her right away.  She is one of his besties.

He also liked Adam.  Maybe he is mellowing out.

Before they left, Scott stopped up to put the belt back on my old John Deere.  He had not seen them in ages either.  We had some rain off and on and eventually I was able to get out and finish mowing the big pasture.  The sky was wild, but I had just enough time to finish.

All done.

Leftovers for dinner....then chores.

Sidney spends a good amount of time in this crate, which is on Gary's barn porch.

When I got back in the house, Jenny was on the phone.  She, Cooper, Kevin (Finn's Father) and Nana Pat (Kevin's Mom) went to Cortland today as Finn was going through the graduation ceremony.  Here are a few photos.  We are very proud of this young man!  He still has to do his student teaching in September (will be living at home) but went through the ceremony today.

Tomorrow he heads off for two weeks of camp as part of the program he is in, then he will be back home for the summer.

Night all.

 

Late

Shortly after sunrise it rained like crazy.

By the time I finished chores the sun was out and the rest of the day was gorgeous....80 degrees.

A couple guys from the town were here early to pick up the truck Gary loaded with the two pine trees that he and Scott took down.  What a great service.

Gary comes out around 9 to do the water buckets and he takes out the wheel barrow.  Today he removed the plexiglass windows.  Of course now it's going to cool off at night.

After chores I started mowing the pastures.

I took a break and put together ham and scalloped potatoes in the crockpot....then made another one of those rhubarb cakes that is supposed to be cupcakes.

It turned out great.

Back out for round three of the mowing and did not have enough gas to finish.  Just one small section left.

Gary spent a lot of time weedwacking and cleaning up around the barns.

Needless to say,  Little Wonder was roasting and he does not get a haircut until June 4th.  It's going to be much cooler for the next week so that will give him a break.

Dinner was delicious.

We had some good light coming into the kitchen from the other end of the house.  That told me it was time to go tuck the boys in for the night.  8:30 again.

Night all.
