The Studio

This was brush pick up day and they started at our house early in the morning.

Pardon all the videos.....I was into music today.

Did a load of wash, then Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio to get things set up for music tomorrow.  So happy that it is warm enough to start being out there.

We have a nice sound system and this is my favorite CD when I'm working.

Gary had a morning meeting and found me out there when he got home.

It was warm enough for LW to be panting....around 68 degrees.

I was finished around noon.  So many flowers are still in bloom there.

A little after three I went for Trike ride #7.  About 6 miles today.

Finding music motivates me to get out there.

I picked up a couple of terra cotta pots along the way.  They are so expensive I thought what the heck!  Better to Skoog Farm than the dump.

Perfect weather again.  Gary did more putzing around in the raised beds.

Dinner was a replay.  Vegetarian two nights in a row.

Night all.

My Kind of Weather

We were off to a very foggy start this morning.

Gary went to Brockport for coffee and a paper.  When he got back I made a quick trip to Wegmans and the flowering pear trees there were just gorgeous.

When I got back to the farm I took Sid and Little Wonder out to the kitchen garden for some sunshine.

Poor Sid is not doing well...still won't eat much.  Calling the vet tomorrow as I do not want him to suffer.

I got in my 6th trike ride this afternoon.  By then it was 56 degrees and just right for getting some exercise

This time I rode an extra three miles.

I had started making peanut butter cookies before 

leaving and the dough had to be refrigerated...so when I returned, it was ready

to be rolled into balls.

So easy and so good.

Can't beat that late afternoon sun for some good light.

We had a cheesy cauliflower casserole for dinner with two side salads.  So many different veggies,

By the way.... Little Wonder improved quite a bit today and by tomorrow should be back to normal.  I'm so glad!

Night all.

Delicious.....

Today was all about dinner.  I had the usual slow start, then got everything together for the shish ki bobs that needed to be marinated.

Stayed in my pjs until everything was organized and started watching a new series.  It was raining much of the day and felt so cold.

Little Wonder jumped off my chair this morning and ended up lame....front left.

He still managed to get up on the bed (he has a stool) and most of the day he did not put any weight on his leg.

I'm not big on appetizers as it's too easy to ruin the dinner.  We had dried pineapple and walnuts.

Gary was in charge of the grill and I had everything ready for him,

I made a big salad....

rice....

and the shish ki bobs included chicken, peppers, onions and pineapple.

Everything tasted great and all we had left was a little rice.

The Fentons brought wine and a delicious dessert, which we ate in the kitchen.

Little Wonder started putting a little wight on his foot....poor guy.

By 9:15, they were gone and here I am....late, but still here.  Being with this crew was a great pleasure.  Robbie was in town from Texas and Mark, from Massachusetts.  Both here to help Mom with some spring cleaning.  Such a terrific family.

Night all.

 

A Long Story

Did not quite make it to 50 degrees today.  Crispy with a side of sunshine.

Alice arrived a little after 10 and we stopped at Country Max for some shavings before going to check out Buddy and Cotton.

Both boys were still shedding like crazy.

On the way home we stopped at Wegmans so I could pick up some supplies for tomorrow night. 

Joan, Mark and Robbie Fenton are coming to dinner.

Little Wonder, Sid and I took a  short stroll in the kitchen garden.

I mowed the front paddock.  Of course the grass is going to be the best ever.

Picked some fresh flowers for the dining room table.

At 5 we went down to Brockport to support Brock the Vote.  It was an opportunity for people to register to vote regardless of party.  It was set up by Ben D. and I am glad we took the time to attend.

It was well set up....so organized.

The board of elections had a new voting machine there so people could learn how to use it.

There were raffles

and music

along with plenty of snacks and drinks.

Scott H., who is running for Village Board was there to speak with attendees.

Jenny and Scott got there just before us.

Many other community minded people were also there showing support.

Is the message on this t shirt true or what?????

Jenny won this bowl made by Steve Appleton in the raffle.  It's a beauty.

By then it was 6:45 and we went to the diner for dinner with Jenny and Scott.

Night all.
