It's a Long Story....

 What a misty morning.

 Lorrie and Moon had a lesson after chores.

 Abbe and Berlin were trying to sniff the water with bleach I dumped outside the paddock when I was cleaning a water trough for Angel and Maggie.  Don't know why this is of interest.

 Then it was chow time.

 Finished preparing the run-in before calling it quits.

 At 11 I picked up my friend Helen (from Scotland), who is here with her son Alex.... visiting her sister...Andrea of horsedum.  She is going to stay at the farm for a couple of days and we plan to cook and take in some activities in Brockport.  

This morning I introduced her to the Seymour Library, and being a storyteller, she headed straight for Fairytales in the children's section.

 She immediately found a book of Favorite Fairy Tales Told in Scotland.

 From there, we went out to lunch at the Stoneyard....

and split a Cubano Sandwich.  We were both starving and it filled the bill.

 Made a quick stop at Bittersweet.

Hit Wegmans on the way home, and when we got back to the farm it was so cold we asked Gary to start a fire, our first of the season.

On Monday evenings Helen listens to a radio show in Scotland and she frequently emails in requests.  Today she tuned in live, through this computer, and had the radio host dedicate a song to us.  Pretty wild that we could do it all from here.

Needless to say, we were not hungry for dinner (poor Gary).  I put the horses in for the night around 7

and thought I was taking a video of them coming in.....wrong.

 We finally ate a very simple supper at 7:30.  Soup and a salad with some delicious bread that Helen brought.  Just enough.  I promised to make eggplant parm tomorrow night.

 We are going to take Helen to see the Dady Brothers, who perform Irish music.  They will be the entertainment at a volunteer luncheon on Tuesday.

As for now...tea and sitting by the fire.

Night all.
