Finn and Grampa

A beautiful day....not too humid.

Gary went to yoga and out to lunch.  Little Wonder and I went out to the kitchen garden for awhile.

It's wild out there.  Many native plants.

I picked a couple of huge beets....

and pickled them.

Finn came up at 1:30 to help Gary with some mowing and weed whacking....then they got started on a project I requested.  It ended up being big one.

They worked on improving the steps into the kitchen garden.

I made a big macaroni salad (requested by Scott) as Jenny will be coming home tomorrow and we will be having dinner at their house.  A head start.

Finn stayed for dinner and we had gigantic taco salads topped with Doritos (which we have not had for years).

Afterward I was ready for a nap but am doing this instead.  LW had the right idea.

Night all.

PS

Jenny and Sabine have had the best time.  Tonight they had an Italian dinner on a pier next to the Baltic.

She will be getting up at 3:30 am (German time) so she can get to the airport to catch her plane in the morning.

 

It's Pony Time

A nice cool morning.

Gary brought home some peaches a couple of days ago and they were nice and ripe today.  Got them peeled, cut up, covered with lemon juice and a little sugar before putting the bowl in the frig for later.

I went to the bank on my way down to my monthly appointment with the massage therapist.

Stopped at Wegmans on the way home....of course.

The recent rain we had knocked down some of the zinnias, so Gary brought them into the house.

Leftovers for dinner....tasted even better at room temperature.

Just noticed that we had even more new blossoms today.

Little Wonder sighted a cat out near the pasture....

so we went out there and I set up three different water stations.

A beautiful evening.

Night all.

PS

So what were Jenny and Sabine doing today?

They went out to spend some time with Nussi...

and then went to another farm where they went for a drive with these two beautiful ponies.

The weather has been gorgeous and everyday they usually end up at the Baltic Sea, where the water temperature is 69 degrees.

Scott was here late afternoon and Jenny called so we all had a chance to talk to her.  That was nice.
