The Bridge Is Open

I'm glad the snow has melted, but the rain could take a break.

Even tho Rebel and Buddy had hay under the shed roof, they preferred 

grazing in the rain.

The temperature went up to 45 today.

Of course they had to roll in the indoor after their sheets were nice and wet.

This was bridge day, and before I left....made the beet pulp for the boys and put together some sloppy Joes in a crockpot for dinner.  I get home so late it's a pain to start dinner from scratch. 

On the way to Brockport, the sky was looking very dark....much darker than it looks in these photos.

There is a lift bridge on Main Street that goes over the Canal and it has been out of commission for almost three years.  The local businesses have taken a big hit with the change in traffic and are hoping for things to improve.  I drove over it for the first time on my way to the library.

My partner and I tied for second.

Chores a little after five.  It felt so cold to me.

Gary was kind enough to bring in some grain and beet pulp pellets for me.  I'm am not into lifting these bags, ever since I got my pacemaker.

I had stopped at Wegmans on my way home, as coleslaw was on my mind and I needed to get a cabbage (among other things).

Dinner hit the spot.

Night all.

 

And Voila! The Snow Is Gone

Not so cold, but raining much of the day.

This morning I put a little hay by the water trough as it has been moved for the winter.  It is set up with a heater and all I have to do is turn on a switch.  So far, I have not caught the horses drinking out of it.

When it started raining harder, they moved under the shed roof.

I ran all kinds of errands.  Picked up a uke I had loaned out, went to Tractor Supply for grain and beet pulp, Wegmans (bought a turkey for Thanksgiving) and finally stopped at the bank.  Spent some of the afternoon watching "The Morning Show" series.

Chores at 5.  The horse's sheets were wet as they had rolled in the indoor.  Will have to brush them off in the morning when the sand dries up.

No coat for Little Wonder tonight.

Not in the mood for cooking, so we just had French Toast for dinner.

Started the fire this afternoon and it sure felt good.

Sidney finds it very cozy too.

Night all.

 

More Snow

Before going out to the barn, Gary and I did some shoveling.

Little Wonder definately needed his black coat.

It was pretty windy and felt like we were in the 20s, so the boys ate behind the grooming room.

I went to bed at 9:30 last night and am still tired!  

Gary C. came over at 2 and we worked on a few of songs until 4.  It is not easy for me to learn the notes  (on the bass) to something I have never heard and then manage the lyrics.  Guess I had better start to practice.  The new music we are working on is nothing like what we sang when I was in She Sings.  We are working on Tennessee Whiskey, Summer's End,  Deep River Blues and many more.  I sat by the fire for awhile and then went out to tuck in Rebel and Buddy.  It warmed up to the mid 30s so some of the snow melted.  Fortunately I did get some laundry done earlier and got the house back in order.

Totally dark when I got back to the house.

I had thawed out some lasagna that was in the freezer and topped it with a bag of our sauce (that I heated up and thickened). 

A very basic salad.  I need to go shopping tomorrow!

Tasted great!

More cold weather is on the way.

Night all.
