Follow Me Around...

First of all, you don't really think Jenny bought a nice red Caddy do you?

I was just kidding....it belongs to her boss and she had just driven it in a parade.

 Now, for today's news.

 After chores I went for my first trike ride.

 Crossed the street and went down a couple of country roads.

 Very little traffic and a beautiful morning.  There are no gears, but this trike is a piece of cake to pedal.  Also has a hand brake.  Perfect for me and my knee is doing very well with it.

 Only went about 4 miles, but will increase that each day.  Put my camera, phone and a bottle of water in my basket...I'm going to love that.

 Back home for about half an hour, then we went down to "the Garden of Eden" to pick some blueberries.

 Friends invited us to indulge.

 What a property!

 From there we went to the Welcome Center

 to hook up with our friends....Sandy, Jeff and Hatch.

The Manatee is back in town.

 Sandy (the art teacher) was showing me some of her books and student work.  Gave me a gazillion ideas.

 Here, we were looking at different things you can do with watercolors.

 It was getting pretty hot out by then, and we asked then to come up to the farm for the afternoon.

 On  the way home we stopped at Weggies to grab a couple chicken salad subs and ate here.

Then Sandy and I went out to the Studio and shared some ideas.

This is one project I would love to try next Tuesday.

 Color mixing 101....

 These next four pieces are examples of Sandy's work.

 I love everything she does...what an inspiration.

 Gary and Jeff hung out with us for awhile, then we picked them some onions to go with the veggies we brought them earlier, and Gary drove them back to their boat.  A fun afternoon.  We could talk art for hours....Sandy and me.

 I made an attempt to read and fell asleep.  Gary woke me up and said it was 6:21 and I thought he meant tomorrow morning.  Go figure.

The sky got very dark so I went out to tuck the girls in.

 They must have felt the storm coming and were in the front paddock....waiting for me.

 It's a good thing I took my umbrella, as it was pouring when I went back to the house.

 Night all.

What did you do today?

Slowin' Down...Sort of

 After chores I hot footed it down to Agape for a workout.  First time there this week...not good.

 Then I got this brilliant idea that I should get a three wheeler so I can get more active in the bike riding department.  I've been gun shy about using my Raleigh as that darn (replacement) knee has not gotten over the hump and I can't afford to take a fall.  Walking...fine.  Dancing.... fine. The bikes at Agape....I could go all day.  Do I care if it is an old lady bike?  NO.  It will serve a purpose and get me back out on the road.  Who cares anyway?  Look at that fat ass seat!  And a basket where I can carry my camera.  They happened to have one at Sugar's Bike shop in Spencerport, so I went over and tried it.

 The Manatee is currently docked there, but I did not see any sign of Sandy, Jeff or Hatch.  They will be back in Brockport soon.

 From there I headed over to Apple Creek Farm with a basket of goodies from our farm.  Cucumbers, garlic, onions, peppers, zucchini, parsley, dill and some blueberries.

 Love driving along the canal.

 When I got there I helped Louise out with some cooking.  Company coming for the weekend.

 Ratatouille

 and zucchini pasta.

 We spent a couple hours talking about what's new in Brockport.

 Back home at 5:30.  Dinner was whatever we could find.  I had a salad and left over BBQued Beans.

Gary went for PB&J and some cereal.  He will be hungry in another hour.

Chores at 7.

 Jenny stopped up around 8:30 after she and her boss (State Assemblyman) participated in a parade.  How do you like her new red Caddilac?????

 What's so funny?

Night all.
