You Win Some You Lose Some

Gary was off to Batavia by 8:15 to meet friends for breakfast. Little Wonder and I were off to our usual slow start.

I had to pick up some stuff at Wegmans for Sunday dinner, when we celebrate Jenny's birthday and Father's Day.  Gary was back at it in the gardens.

Very weird that this showed up on my phone.  I don't remember taking it.  Worth posting tho, as I am looking forward to the opening of the Obama Presidential Library tomorrow.  Totally in awe of what has been created....from the library to the playground and parks. So well planned and truly made for the community to share.  All of the artists listed below are honored to support Obama, unlike what happened in Washington.  By the way, for me....that was one disgusting event.  Who else would want to celebrate their birthday watching people trying to brutalize each other.  Just another distraction so his handlers can keep doing things in the background....like trying to stop the election process.  Fortunately, there have been a few signs of hope taking place.

I was not in a dinner making mood again.

Ended up sautéing peppers and onions....added chopped tomatoes....then some cubed boiled potatoes....and finally....

eggs.

When it was almost done, I added some cheddar cheese.

Took a little break.

These flowers had fallen over, so Gary brought them in the house.  So beautiful.

Breakfast for dinner.

By the way, our friend running for Village Board lost....BUT they were not able to dissolve the Village Court.  It was quite a battle.

Night all.

 

What Happened to the 15th?

I was so busy working on a political post last night I totally forgot to write in my Journal!  This is only the third day I have missed since starting over 20 years ago.  Anyway, I did not take very many photos yesterday.  At 12:30 I met 4 friends at 58 Main for lunch.  We hardly ever see each other, so it was a great time to catch up.

It was a beautiful day....on the cool side.

When I got back to the farm I made myself pick more strawberries.  Cleaned and froze them.

As for today.  It was a cool morning and I decided to go for a trike ride at 9:15.

We live on a major road and there is a lot of traffic....including big trucks.  Not too far from here is this sign (heading south) so I figured I would keep going, thinking there would not be too many cars.

The shoulder of the road narrows when I hit the next county, so I turned around and headed back.  We live in Monroe County.

I spent a little time in the house with my Buddy....

then we went out to the garden to pick more leaf lettuce.

and got in a walk/trike ride down the lane.

He trotted on the way out and

walked on the way back home.  He loves going out to the back forty.

Stephanie left a bag of party stuff here last year and I found strings of little flags which I thought would work very well on my trike.  Now people should really notice me!

I had leftover soft taco for lunch in the form of a salad.  So good.

Gary did not have yoga today but he did go out to lunch.  When he got back home he continued working on the gardens by the indoor.

So much better.

I could not let the strawberries go to waste and picked more.

Took them and a bag of lettuce down to Jenny's.

Today is her 56th birthday and she is in the home stretch of a political campaign that ends on this Election Day...(instead of being home celebrating).  Time to catch a break.

We just had sandwiches for dinner.

Night all.

`Torrential!

We slept in until 7!  Monumental!

Gary went to Brockport for coffee and when he got back I ran a few errands.  First I went down to the village as this was the opening of the Farm Market.  Before checking things out, I spent quite a bit of time talking to some friends about political issues taking place.  The current Village Board wants to dissolve the Village Court and a movement has started that includes many landlords.  Of course money gets involved and there are two very different opinions on the financials.  The two judges are very familiar with this community and have done a great job for the past 10 years.  Courts are not there to make a profit, they are there to take care of business....(that they are very familiar with).  The DPW is not expected to make a profit.  If the court can support itself, that seems fine with me.  When there is a college located in a town, the population can double and there is been a need for this service.  If the court is dissolved, the Town of Sweden Court will have to pick up the slack and that will cost money.  More judges will be needed and this would lead to higher taxes.  How is this going to save any money?  We shall know soon, as the election is on the 16th.

There were only a few vendors at the market and I did not buy anything.

I did have to go to Wegmans tho.

On the way home it rained so hard I almost had to pull off the road as I could not see!  This is how it looked when I got here.  Not good timing for getting groceries out of the car.

Gary had picked more strawberries before it rained and

I made another big batch of bean salad.

Fortunately, he cut up the strawberries and I put these in the frig and froze a bag.

Dinner was so good.  BBQued drum sticks with lots of sweet onion.

coleslaw with pineapple.....

and boiled potatoes with butter and fresh parsley.

At least the house is nice and cool.

Night all.
