Pagentry...

Before going out to the barn I caught some of "the wedding." 

The Brits have some amazing traditions and it could not have 

been a more beautiful day.  Of course I was blown away by the 

horses and the architecture.  So different from what happens in our country.

There is something to be said for social graces.

 Meanwhile back it the ranch, we started off with some rain and coolness.

 I waited 30 days using indoor antennas on our televisions and yesterday

made another deal with Spectrum.  The triple play was once again available to

us and we signed up for this "promotion" which is good for 12 months (then we will go back to "rabbit ears").  Telephone (land line), internet and cable tv for $108.18 including all fees, taxes and a box.  Ironically, we have friends who pay a large variety of fees for the same service.  If you don't advocate for yourself, you get taken to the cleaners.  It was probably good for us to have a break from cable tv.  We only watch about 4 out of 149 channels.  You can probably guess what they are.

Today a technician came and got everything squared away.  

As you can see, we are not into large screen tvs.  

If you are paying a lot for these services and can stand to go off cable channels for 30 days you can get this deal.  We managed very well doing that and 

it will save us a lot of money.  Inside antennas work very well.

This afternoon I was not that productive and ended up taking a nap before pm chores.

 By then, the sun was out and it was the most beautiful part of the day.

Yesterday Gary picked up another "Butterfly Wing Begonia" at Sara's

for our porch.  We had one last year and it was never without blossoms.

Even took it into the house when the temperature dropped in the fall.

 The morning chill motivated me to make a pot of sauce, so we had 

spags and a salad for dinner.

 It was time for the Preakness so we watched it.

Apparently Justify recovered from the Kentucky Derby and

I was very grateful that no horses were injured.

 The conditions were not the greatest.

I've never seen fog like this.

When it was over I headed for the barn. 

The girls are always ready to go in, even tho they have access to grass.

 At 8 I was motivated to mow the double grass paddock...

 and it was almost dark when I finished.

I do this about once a month starting in May.

It was nice to have a day with no obligations.

Night all.

Today Kevin posted a picture of Finn that I just had to steal.

He sure has grown up!

He's had his last JV baseball game and in a couple weeks

 will be playing on a travel team.

PS #2

I just can't get this song out of my head from the concert so 

I posted it again.
