Good Light All Over the Place

We are still in that cold morning near 60 degrees in the afternoon pattern.  This is how it looked at 8am.

Gary went down to Dan's for coffee and Little Wonder joined me in getting off to a slow start.

No matter where he went...there was sunshine on him.

My friend Sara is coming up from Kentucky tomorrow afternoon so I worked on the back porch, vacuumed, did laundry, made a big batch up of bean salad...and later worked on the worst tasting chicken soup I have ever made.

Gary finished planting the last 100 garlic cloves in the raised beds and now he can relax.

While he was doing that, I went out to the Studio to work on my "Big Bertha" example.  I transferred my drawing to a card.....

and started painting.

I still have a long way to go.

LW was in and out while I was doing my thing.

I know I am a little weird about good light, but it was everywhere.

I went back to the house....and Gary was putting away his gardening stuff.

About this soup!!!!  I have been so careful and tried a low sodium recipe that could not have been worse.  I ended up putting in some better than bouillon and just did not eat very much.  I was still under my quota and will not ever make soup this way again.  Over 900  milligrams of sodium in 1 cup!!!! At least it tasted better...especially when I squeezed on some fresh lemon juice.  (That is one cup).

The bean salad had reasonable numbers and I did not eat too much of that either.  I will be hungry later!

Night all.

Out to Lunch For Real

Boy, did we have a hard frost last night.

Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio at 7:30 to turn on the heater.  At that time it was 35 degrees.

Took and shower and went back out at 10.  LW was waiting for Christa to arrive.

She wanted to start painting Big Bertha and picked out this photo.

She will continue working on this at home.

I picked this photo and started working on drawing for a card.

After class Gary and I went out to the Farmer's Table to use the gift certificate I won at the library event.

We both ordered burgers and I had 4 of these onion rings.  My first real burger in a restaurant.  That meant I had to cool it for the rest of the day and did manage to stay under my magic numbers.

Took it easy this afternoon.  We had a fire earlier than usual and Gary picked a ton of raspberries.

At 6 I went to Brockport for an Indivisible meeting and made a couple of signs for the upcoming rallies in this area.  The others who were there have been working their butts off for over a year.  In addition to fighting for democracy, they have done a lot of community service... clothing and feeding needy people in Rochester.  What I appreciate about this group is their passion for decency.  So many bright and committed people.

Time to get out to the fire.

Night all.

 

Mowing Again

Another crispy morning.  Can't believe all the sunshine we have had.

Little Wonder and I started off in slow.  Gary went to yoga and out to lunch.

As soon as the grass dried off I started mowing (and mulching leaves).  Little Wonder was out with me for two hours.

Gary still has more garlic to plant.

He has started bring wood and kindling up to the kitchen porch and this is the third night we have had a fire.

Dinner was an instant replay.

Earlier today I had the pleasure of speaking with a good friend from Kentucky, who will be coming for a visit on Friday.  Really looking forward to it.  She has a sheep farm and sent a whole bunch of wool up here to get processed so she can spin it.  Knits the most beautiful sweaters you have ever seen.  She also has a blog...that's how we met many years ago.  We have been communicating all this time and she and her husband have visited our farm many times.  http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com

Night all.
