#1 Again

Another beauty.  83 degrees.

This morning Little Wonder and I were doing our usual thing and someone came to the door to buy rhubarb.  We have a sign out by the road and always pull it when ordered so it is fresh. 

So, we went out and got her a bunch.
Now the peonies have started blooming....
and the iris are still strong.


I went in to take a shower and LW waited for me on the bed.
At 10:30 a friend came to pick up some plastic pallets for her barn and she will stack her hay on them.  Now I just have heavy wooden pallets left and am almost ready to really give the barn and grooming room a final cleaning.

Bridge at 1.  My partner was Rosalie and we came in first.  That is the third time I was on the winning team in a month.  Yay!
On my way home a boat was going under the Park Street bridge, which needed to be raised.  This happens pretty frequently while the canal is open.
Got back to the farm and picked over a quart of strawberries.
Last night (when it was dark) the farmer who rents the field next to us was working it up.  Just before dinner tonight he was finishing and all the dust was blowing this way.  The green barn roofs are now brown.

A veggie dinner tonight. Made some coleslaw

which we had with leftover scalloped potatoes and a croissant.


Looking forward to some chair time with my heating pad and Little Wonder on my lap.
Night all.

  1. Looks like you had a full day! Ohhhh 80's? I am not a fan of warm and muggy, but I am enjoying our rainfall that we needed.

  2. My neighbor tells me rhubarb is expensive in the grocery store. My iris are nearly spent. The peonies are now stealing the show. Big congrats on your win!

  3. That dust looks awful! Hopefully you will get a cleansing rain. Oh, how I miss rhubarb, iris and peonies. I would love to do some sort of trip down the Erie Canal. Maybe it will come to pass. Congrats on #1!!
