NON STOP...

Nice morning. Phoebe, Gucci, Gary and I went out to do chores.

There were hundreds of birds in the pasture today and they kept hanging around the horses.

Gary went down for coffee and to the Market to get more tomatoes for sauce.

Yesterday he made a couple of signs to direct people for parking. He even got the garbage cans ready for the BBQ.

I picked a lot of wild flowers and put them in jelly jars at all the tables.

At 10:45 I stopped everything and went for a trail ride with Darrin. Berlin was her usual jiggy self part of the time. Unfortunately I left my camera in the grooming room, so for the second time I got no pictures.

By 2pm Jenny arrived with more goodies for the event. Our acoustic guitarist, John Hopf from Geneseo, set up and gave us a little preview. He was great, and has been writing music for over 30 years.

What's happening?....three neighboring Towns got together to have an event that would give their candidates a chance to meet new people. It was also an opportunity to raise some funds.
I'd say we had over 70 people here.

Helen set up two beautiful baskets for us to raffle off.

Of course I needed to have flowers for John.

The music started around three and really added to the atmosphere.

Here's Jenny with Caurie Putnam...one of the candidates running for Sweden Town Board.

Caurie with Orlando Benzan, who is also a candidate for Town Board.

Jenny, Sheldon Meyers (candidate for County Legislature) and Annie Crane, our Town Leader.

These two guys used to be my students. They now own a local restaurant called 58 Main and catered the event. Jon and Mark! Great job!

We had.....BBQ chicken breasts, baked beans, mac salad, potato salad, green salad and corn bread.

...and did they ever make enough food for an army!!!!

The event was supposed to run from 3-5. I did not get out to feed the horses until 6:45. It took so long to get ready and clean up, my knee is killing me. HOWEVER! I think everyone had a good time, and it was nice to get together with people from two of the neighboring towns.


This morning I took the door off Abbe's stall. Target used to have this one and he was very tall and could see over it. She is much smaller and it was too high for her. There is actually a step down ...it's about 16 x 16 so there is plenty of room and I think she will like the change...I do!

Jenny and Finn came out to help me with chores. They picked the paddock and pasture for me.
Finn is very comfortable with the horses. He took some of the photos below.































I'm going to put the horses in now, and get prone. Night all!
