Company

Made it to 70 degrees today and we were loaded with sunshine.  Little Wonder and I had some good sleep last night and we were up before 7.

Gary went to Brockport for coffee and by 9:30 I was out mowing.

First I did the yard.....

then mowed the outdoor arena, small pasture....

and the front paddock.  I think I'm going to leave the big pasture.

Spent the afternoon doing laundry, changing sheets, vacuuming etc.

LW got in a short nap.

He was outside for a long time today and was acting pretty normal.

Gary did the hand mowing and earlier had done a lot of housework.

Our guest arrived at 6 after teaching 4 lessons at her clinic this afternoon.

We had Naan bread pizzas for dinner.

As she only had 3 hours of sleep, Lisa was off to bed early.

Night all.

 

45 Degrees

To think it is going to be 80 in a couple of days seems impossible  Misty rain much of the day.

Little Wonder slept through the night again.  Mid morning we went out for a walk to the back forty.  He seemed pretty good and had his rice and hamburger for breakfast.

The back pasture....and all of the pastures have grown the most beautiful grass ever.

Gary has continued to work on the gardens....many more to go.

On my way to bridge I dropped off a cat carrier to my friend Judy P.

Dave S. (on the right) was my partner and we came in first!  Yay 2 weeks in a row.  He was our pediatrician when our kids were young.  Never thought I would be playing bridge with him in our 80s!

I took LW out for another walk when I got home, but so far he has not been doing his business.  I hope that happens soon.  I'm introducing his regular food today.

Speaking of food....we had grilled burgers with caramelized onions and roasted potatoes for dinner....a little bean salad too.

Tomorrow we will be getting a house guest for the weekend.  Lisa E-R is coming from Florida to put on another dressage clinic at the Renaissance Equestrian Center.  Always good to catch up with her.  It's supposed to be sunny and tomorrow I plan to do some house cleaning before mowing....mowing....mowing.

Night all.

 

Little Wonder Was Still in the Headlines

We had all kinds of different weather today.  Sunshine, rain and dime sized hail with thunder.

Even tho Little Wonder slept through the night (me too) I knew something was wrong this morning.  He  had rice twice yesterday and some pumpkin...wanted nothing to eat when we got up.  Took him outside and he just was not acting normal. 

Called the vet and they fit me in at 10:20.

In the meantime, we walked around the yard.  Gary's garlic has gotten so tall.

After being very quiet....as soon as I mentioned going in the car he was jumping all over the place.

He was very good for the vet and techs.  Because his tummy has been bothering him and he has not been doing his regular business....he had an X-ray, which looked good except for some gas bubbles in his abdomen.  So they gave him a shot to help that and after writing a big check 

we were off to Glen Darrach farm to drop off some stuff for Andrea's horses and cats.

Seeing that she is his BFF, it made him very happy.

Her yearling, Hamisch is huge!  I swear he is going to reach 17 hands.

We headed for home and I picked up some hamburger to mix with rice....his diet for 24 hours.  I'm so glad he loves it.  He was not his usual up in the car.

Got back to the farm by 12:30...fed him and then it was nap time.

The vet said walking would help, so eventually we went out to the back 40.  

A few minutes after we got back in the yard, it was obvious that the shot was working.  Phew. I can start gradually getting him back to his regular food after tomorrow. I hope he continues to feel better.  We all need to catch a break around here.

Dinner....pasta with caramelized onions and fresh tomatoes with a salad.

Night all.

 

Who's A Good Dog?

All about Little Wonder today.  Once again he woke me up several times during the night to go outside.  Each time I went out with a flashlight and it was almost like he thought something was out there.  Anyway, I am still giving him pumpkin and some rice.  I think this is all my fault as I started him on new food.  Even tho I mixed it with the old, it must have had an impact on his belly.  I had to go to four stores at 8 this morning to finally find what he was eating before I switched.

Around 9:30 he decided to go for a hike out to the back forty.

Here he is coming home (I was on my trike taking the video).

We managed to take it easy before John and Darryl got here to play some tunes.

He sacked out on the couch in the Studio the whole time.

This afternoon we were still messing around....trying to warm up on some easy stuff.

Late afternoon I took a hot shower and put on some pjs thinking I would Catch some zzzzzs.  It didn't happen.

Gary had yoga and lunch this morning and then spent the entire afternoon in the gardens.  He planted some cabbage in one of the raised beds.  We were supposed to have a frost last night, but no deal.

Dinner....leftover sloppy Joes and a salad.

Night all.

 

A Replay

A gloomy start but we ended up with some great sunshine.  Felt like we were in the 40s tho.  Once again Little Wonder got me up three times during the night.  Needless to say I was very tired today.  He seems ok and it better not turn into a habit.

Spent a little time outside and ran a couple of errands.

Gary's raised beds are doing very well.  Garlic, onions, shallots and strawberries so far.

The house felt very damp and we started a fire before noon.  Had a couple nice conversations with friends and tried to take a nap. About the iPhone and pacemakers.....Mine is a Medtronic and it says I should keep it 6 inches away from the device.  When I have it in a pouch while riding my bike it is over 12 inches away.  So Sandra, I will call you again.

I made sloppy Joes and put it in the crockpot so it was all set for tonight.  Then I made bean salad, which filled three jars.

Another simple dinner.

Such good light around 6:30.

You can almost watch the strawberries grow.  We had a frost warning for tonight and I sure hope all of our stuff makes it.

Night all.
