Hello Colorado skies!
What a beautiful morning.
Even tho it was in the 20s that solar heat was doing it's job. Melting!
I had to go upstairs to get more hay and got carried away sweeping the floor. When I dumped the hay out the back door. This was the view.
Once again, the outdoor arena has turned into a hockey rink.
There was one in the corner of the big pasture too.
I took an inventory of the hay.
There were two different first cuttings and two seconds (grass, not the rich stuff). I should be able to make it until June, when I will get the new hay.
When I used to have 8 or 10 horses, this place was packed with over 1500 bales. Now I will only need 500 at the max.
By 9:30 you could really feel the heat (still cold, but felt good).
How about that sky Terry?
Just as I finished up in the barn....
my friend Sally arrived to buy more of my note cards. She has been my best customer!
She was not in a hurry, and was able to spend some time with the horses.
Where we went, Sidney followed.
When we got in the house, Sally looked at all the books I've made and we had a cup of tea.
Noticed that I have a new hibiscus blossom.
L'orange was showing off for us.
I cooled it for an hour....
Pretty soon the afternoon sun was coming in the windows...
So warm on the west side of the house....
and so cold on the south side.
Gucci and Sidney were sitting on my lap asking me to take their pictures. Too close!!!
I finally went out to do evening chores.
Drove down to Brockport to have our Monday night dinner with Jen and the boys.
Chicken wrapped around cheese, ham and tomato....peas, rice and a delicious salad.
The boys set up a store and wanted Jenny to come and purchase some items. It was called "Two Brothers Sports Mix" and they dragged in sleds, balls, books about sports and anything you could think of.
Gary left for a meeting at the Alumni House and I got home before 8. Time to kick back.
Night all.
