What a Very Long Day

The warmest it has been with some sunshine much of the day.

Rebel was still holding his own and I will have to change his boots tomorrow.

While I was doing chores, Gary worked on the doors in the indoor, so I can be sure they open and close easily.

The gardens in the front still look pretty good.

I put the tables where I wanted and added the tablecloths.

Meanwhile the ponies were going for some hay.

Seymour was sacked in the living room

Gary cut as many flowers as he could find so I could put them on the tables.

Little Wonder assisted.

Threw a couple of tarps on the ground in the indoor and Gary helped me get all my stuff over so I could be set up before Nancy, Tom and Greg arrived around 3:30.  Tonight we were providing the music for the fundraising event I spoke about.  Unfortunately, one of our members (Lori Staubitz) had eye surgery and could not join us.  She adds an awful lot to our group and was missed.

Little Wonder waited  outside the open barn door for the longest time.  Once we started warming up he came in and stayed by me for awhile.  I had forgotten how great the acoustics are in the barn.

JW and the Bello event team arrived a little after 4, loaded with cider and donuts.

We started playing at 5 and

Jenny fed the horses for me.

This is the first time I have played my bass baritone uke in public.  Just learning and it sure was fun.

Adam arrived around 5:30, mingled and spoke to us about all that is going on in Monroe County.  He has done a great job.  He stayed until the end and helped us clean up!

Once he finished speaking we played a few more songs and ended with....

So tired, and it was only a little after 7.  I'd say it was a very successful event and it was so good to have Adam here on the Westside of Rochester.  We had to go out and grab a sandwich for dinner as I had no time to cook.

Night all.
