Ponies, Dinner and a Movie

We hit 70 degrees today and had a high wind advisory.  When I went out to the barn it felt pretty chilly and the hay had to go near the fence so it would not get blown away.

 

 

 The bright sun eventually helped and the sheets came off... the girls were loving it.

 Now maybe the grass will start to grow.

 

Gary worked at Sara's this morning and I started on some Sloppy Joes for dinner.  (Our monthly meal with the Klines and Cretneys).

 I managed to start cleaning out one of the gardens and Gary helped when he got home.

 Finally, our first bit of color.

 Took a quick shower and went out to put the ponies in before everyone got here at 6:30.

 The temperature may be near 60 for a week, with rain expected on 4 of the days.

Tonight's meal was a picnic of sorts.

 Sloppy Joes, sweet potato salad, chips and Gary's homemade dill pickles.

We had dessert and a movie...."The Blues Brothers."  Can't believe it dates back to 1980.  Lots of laughs, great music and too many car chases.

John grew up in a surburb outside of Chicago... wonder if it had any influence on the setting of this movie.  In high school he played football and was the drummer in a band.  It was at "Second City," where he really got his start.  Always was dramatic and entertaining, even as a kid.

I'm pooped.
Night all.
