The Rain is Not in Spain...It's in Brockport

 Misty, foggy, clammy, muggy, buggy blah, blah, blah.

 We are on a roll here in Brockport.

 Abbe and Berlin don't want to leave the fan/run-in.

 Stephanie, Moon's farrier, was here this morning to trim her feet.

I really enjoyed meeting her.

 Out of the blue, Sally stopped up.  After we chatted I gave her some peas, spinach, chives and dill from the garden.  She loves being at the farm and we love having her.

 What we need is a few more daylilies.

 When I was in Gary's barn this afternoon I noticed this big red blossom and could not believe it.

The light is not good in there and he has had these Amarylis bulbs sitting in this pot for weeks and weeks.  Tomorrow they are getting planted!

 It's just about time to dig up the garlic.  Looks very good this year.

 During a sunny break I mowed a couple of pastures (of course I got rained on).

Thought I was going to have to put the girls in early as there were big storm warnings in the area.

But, it seemed to be alright after they were grained.

 Sidney had just finished an afternoon snack that he caught.  Nasty boy.

 The weatherman says that we are going to have 7 days with temperatures between 84 and 86 with a chance of rain everyday.  Something different.

When I make a (non) Saint Tim salad, from now on it will be referred to as a Saint Stephen Andrew salad, as he has no problem with fruit and vinegar.  Ha ha!!!!  How does that sound Sara?

 We had a great dinner tonight.  Organic chicken (grilled by Saint Gary), brown rice (organic), peas (organic) from the garden (tomorrow I am going to start freezing them) and a salad with spinach (organic), onion, orange, mango and banana (organic) with crumbly blue.  (By now Saint Tim must be gagging).  Fit for a King...maybe if Saint Tim was a King he might like it.

I hope all of you are tuned in to the GM situation as it relates to what you are eating.  It's almost impossible to be free of it the way anything with corn or soy has been modified and not labeled.  It's in everything from Coke to Bisquick.  How do you like your Round Up?  If these are such safe and healthy products, why are they fighting so hard to keep the labels off the food we eat?  A word to the wise....don't eat a lot of processed foods.

Leaving you with that happy thought...

Night all.

A Misty Start

 Very wet grass but at least it wasn't raining.

 Class at 10:30.

Yesterday our kitchen sink was plugged and the water would not go down.  Gary took things apart and still couldn't get it to work so today we had Scott C. come up and between them we were back in business.

 Then, there was still a mess to clean up.

 By 1:30 the sun came out and I was finally able to mow the lawn (before it needed to be baled).

 All this moisture has made our gardens look like "Jack and the Beanstalks" property.

 Evening chores at 5.

Now it's after 9 and I have to go tuck the girls in.

Night all.

Do You Think The Rain Will Hurt the Rhubarb???

It's back.  No lawn mowing for me today.

 Lorrie and Moon managed to squeeze in a lesson (drove down the lane) before it started to rain.

After lunch I went to the bank and Wegmans.  Ariana (granddaughter) is going to arrive on Friday night and I'm stocking up so we can have some nice meals while she is here.  Can't wait.

Started dinner and went out to do evening chores.  Gave up and put the girls in for the night...they spent many hours getting soaked.

 Thanks Mom.

 I'm lovin' the peas from our garden.  Stir fry them for a few minutes and ummmmmmmmm.

Coleslaw - cabbage, apple, grapes, carrot and red peppers.

 Gary had grill duty.

 Boneless pork tenderloin ala barbeeeeque.

Mashed potatoes.

 Time to eat.

Night all.
