YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO I FINALLY RAN INTO AT WEGMANS!

Over the past year you have looked at many photos of the funky sculpture at Skoog Farm.
I call this one "Dirty Eddie."

This afternoon I ran into this dynamic duo at Wegmans.  Bob, the one on the left, and his 3 kids have been friends of our family for about 40 years!!!!  The person on the right is Bill Stewart. He is the artist that produced all the sculpture I have been posting.  He started teaching in Brockport at the same time I did.  He was in the Art Department at the College and I was at the Campus School (where his wife was teaching).  If I tell you what year that was, you are going to know I am very OLD.

As you can see, spring has sprung at Wegmans.


It is very nice waking up in the morning to the blossoms on the Christmas Cactus in our bedroom.  Why it is blooming now I will never know.




This is the weather report today.


Even tho it was ugly outside, the sky held great drama.



The horses are still in the inner pasture....too wet to put them anywhere else.



Every time I open the door to the indoor, the pigeons go in and make a mess.  If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you can see two of them.  They drive me nuts!


After standing in the rain for part of the day, the horses were happy to go in at 6:30.


By the time I was ready to go in the house, the wind was picking up.  I'm hoping the weatherman is wrong and all the snow melts before it hits the ground.  My paddock is a big mudhole.


I'm taking the rest of the night off.  Good night John Boy.  Good night Bob.  Good night Wild Bill.

  2. Couldn't you get a live trap from the dog pound to catch the pigeons and then release them far, far away? Or are there too many? Are you allowed to shoot them? (Not sure if you are the hunting type...please don't be offended...I think we just see things differently here in AK). The cactus bloom is beautiful.
