Brace yourselves!
This is the longest post ever!
Chores.
Mowed everything except for the big pasture.
Jenny wanted a rhubarb pie for her birthday so after mowing I picked some
with the assistance of Phoebe
and Little Wonder.
She also wanted Shish ki bobs so I cut up organic chicken thighs, onion, peppers, mushrooms and added pineapple chunks (a little of the juice) and marinated all in a combination of an Italian dressing and low sodium soy sauce.
Around 2:30 I headed down to the Town Park (Gary had already left) to watch a double header. Finn plays on a U15 travel team for the Bisons, and today they needed a sub as so many of the players were not able to be there.
Who did they ask?
Cooper Harvey!
He plays in a younger division and has never played on the same team with his brother.
He absolutely knocked my socks off and he
had no trouble playing with the big boys!
He played right field, first base and got hits that were outstanding!
Jen was a proud Mom.
Finn played third base and ended up pitching in the second game.
At one point, when he was at bat, the bases were loaded and he hit a grand slam!
Another Birthday present for Jen.
One happy family!
I got back to the Farm after 5 and put together the Shish ki Bobs.
I sautéed the remaining mushrooms in the marinade.
Coop and Finn are going to sleep well tonight!
Scott made rice and a salad....both were delicious.
What a feast!
I did chores after we finished dinner and before desert.
It was hot and I could tell that Maggie and Angel wanted to get hosed.
Berlin and Abbe are such chickens.
Coop loves riding the trikes and talked his Mom into going for a ride.
(Another new blossom today)
The pups were hot tonight...
for the next two days we will be in the 90s!
Night all.
Happy Birthday Jen , what a wonderful day for you all, and great fun together on the bikes,A super yummy meal, many Best Wishes from way down south.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jen! It looks like she had a terrific day with her family! Love that the boys had a great day playing ball.
ReplyDeleteYour place looks terrific. The flowers are gorgeous. Glad you had help from your assistants picking the rhubarb! Stay cool for the next few days it's going to be brutal.
Wow Lori, congratulations on your wonderful grandsons' sporting achievements. And happy birthday to your beautiful jenny. The dinner looks yummy. I did a long post on Thursday if you'd like to pop over and read it. I was a proud mum when my older son, John ran his first Comrades marathon last Sunday. And you'll note that I've brought the shop kitty, Missy, home so she can be off-leash forever. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteLove it, looks like it was a very busy day!
ReplyDeleteHello Lori. Thank you for all your news on blog. Your grandsons look very grown up. I hope this gets through. It's not very reliable, but it's probably me rather than the machine. Here goes.
