A Much Needed Massage

Another cold morning.  This time I had to leave the heater in the water trough on all day.

After chores I checked my computer and decided to get out my ukes to play along with some songs on a site called Ukulaliens.  I love it as it plays the original music and shows you the chords and lyrics so you can play along.  Played "I'm Yours," "Stuck in the Middle" and several others. Fun.

Went to Brockport a little after 2 to pick up a few things at Wegmans and then had an appointment with the massage therapist.

She is located in a Salon that does hair, nails and a whole bunch of other stuff.  This dog was a rescue and hangs out there....can go anywhere and seems sweet.  Her name is Peach.

Home just in time to tuck the boys in.

Little Wonder and Sidney assisted.

At 5:15 it looked like this to the East.

So Van Gogh......

Dinner was simple.  A salad and

corn chowder that I had saved in the freezer.

The fire was going all afternoon and I am ready to get back out in the kitchen.

Night all

 

The Bills Made a Comeback

This morning I had to turn on the heater in the water trough until it got above freezing.  Not too much snow, but we sure have been having a lot of wind.

After chores we got a nice call from our granddaughter, Daniela, who was driving from Kansas City to Wisconsin.  She spent Thanksgiving with Steph, Joe and Ariana.  Anyway.....like Jenny, Steph and Ariana....she likes to use her driving time to catch up and we always love talking to her.

I made BLT wraps for lunch.  I think we are turkeyed out.

Mid afternoon I was back on the phone again for a nice long chat with my friend Carol B., who is in Boston with Topper at their daughter's home.  Love staying in touch.

Seeing that we stayed up very late (VERY late) last night watching the end of a series,  we were in nap mode this afternoon.

The Bills game started at 4:30 and that got our attention.

I missed a few minutes while doing evening chores, and when I went out to the barn they were losing.

So dark, and it was not even 5pm.

We did have a little rain and the boys chose to get wet.

Back in for the rest of the game.  So glad they rallied.

Here I am sporting my winter socks...part of one of my winter barn ensembles.

Night all.

The Fence

A sunny and very windy morning.

Finn and Coop came up a little before 9:30 to help Grampa with the fence and gate in the back pasture.

Little Wonder and I drove the car back two or three times to help deliver some of the tools etc. that were needed.

And of course I had to grab some photos.  These two boys are learning how to do a lot of things from Gary.

This fence went up in 1981 and this section needed some serious help.  More to go after today.

Sidney loves sacking out on the heaters in the kitchen, especially after he has been outside.

He thinks the couch is pretty comfy too.

Out at 4:50 for chores and it was too dark to take any pictures outside.

I bought more shavings today and should be good through February now.

Back in the house and happy to have the fire going.

A picnic dinner.

Night all.
