#7327 Mimic Makers by Kristen (Bott) Nordstrom

Beautiful weather today.  Berlin gave me a big "Hello" when I got to the barn.




Her appetite has been so much better since I started adding oil to her grain.  More calories.

After chores Little Wonder and I checked on the veggie gardens behind the studio and brought cucumbers and a few more orange tomatoes to the house.
The strawberries are trying to make a comeback.
How about this amaryllis?  It sat in the living room for months doing nothing, and as soon as I put it outside it took off.


Little Wonder and I ran a few errands after chores.

When we got back to the farm I mowed half of the lawn.
At 2:30 we went to the library for a book signing.
Kristen is the daughter of Topper and Carol and we have known her since she was a child.
Her book, "Mimic Makers,"  has been getting a lot of attention and I can see why.  The reviews have been outstanding.

We went outside, under a tree, and she read the book to us.







So good to see her.  Visiting family for a couple weeks before she returns to her home in California.



I finished mowing when we got home.  Karen and Elliott went for a ride out back.
Look at the coat on that boy!!!!

Gary did the hand mowing.....




and I made dinner.
Night all.

#7326 On a Reading Kick

Karen had a hay delivery this morning.  I'm holding out for second cutting grass.


After chores I made an omelette brunch and all I wanted to do was sleep.  I woke up at 4:15 this morning and could not fall back to sleep.  Ugh.

So, I spent most of the afternoon with my feet up and read.
Jenny stopped up for some flowers and greens.


We also sent her home with some parsley and basil.






After dinner (panini and chips) I had evening chore duty.



Rebel is always waiting to get in his stall.

Need more rest.....
Night all.
