Post #7232 One Ugmo Day....

At 7:30 this morning, it was gorgeous!  Bright sunshine, green grass and a little crispy.
Did "She Sings" make a mistake cancelling our Arbor Day gig that was set for 10?
When we heard the weather forecast for today it sounded like we were going to have high winds, wind chills in the high 30s and some rain.  Our instruments don't do well under those conditions.
The ponies had their sheets on.



Well it's a good thing we cancelled, as the weatherman was right.  By 10 it was just plain nasty outside.
I made a quick trip to the bank, Wegmans and Country Max and did not do much after that.
Watched a movie and tried to make up for the sleep I lost last night....that didn't happen.
All three cats knew that being inside the house was their best option.
Sidney loves to sleep on top of the heater.

No more excitement.  Just an ordinary dinner.

Night all.

Post #7231. What A Day - Berlin's Birthday!

36 years ago this girl was born.

Her sire was the Trakehner stallion, Borallis

Her Dam, on the left, was Marieke (Anglo Trakehner by Abdullah)
On the right is Marieke's brother, Hollander.
Berlin got her name when her grandsire became World Cup Champion in that city.
1985, when she was foaled.
He was also in the Olympics.

This is Berlin as of last week.
I could not ask for a sweeter girl.

Now, for the rest of the day.
It was not very pretty out there.








At 1:30 I grabbed my Uke and 
went out to the Studio for a 
rehearsal.
The space worked out so well I am now designating it as a music studio.
My little heater kept it nice and cozy, even tho it was raining outside.
Loved being together in person and we had a great session.
Here are some short clips.


Little Wonder was not remotely interested in going out in the rain this afternoon.





No cooking tonight.  We actually went out for dinner.
Night all.
