What I Did On Random 5 Friday

 1.  Morning chores.  3 degrees with a windchill of -9.

 Today the horses spent the day outside as there was very little wind and the sun made an appearance.

2.  I shoveled my butt off!!!!

 We have a very long driveway...it goes from the road to the front paddock with a turnaround.

 During the past two days we got between 14 and 16 inches of snow with drifts over 2 feet and shoveled 4 times.

 3.  Carol and Topper took us out to lunch at the Brook House.

4.  On the way home we drove through Spencerport and the sky was still blue.

 The frozen canal looked like an endless skating rink.

 There's a new pub in town!  We need to try it out.

 When we got to Route 19 we were anxious to see if this semi was back in an upright position. Gary was directly behind it this morning and it skidded right off the road and ended up on it's side in the ditch.  He called 911 and he and another man stopped to help get the driver out of the cab.

 Home by 3.

5. Chores again at 5:15.

 The cats were happy to be in the house and out of the weather.

 

 A very good time to have a wood stove.

PS

5b.

Some California friends made a visit to the floats from the Rose Parade and sent photos.  For 10 bucks you can go have a look and it is very well attended.  The flower smell was divine.

Night all.
