Record Breaking!

Yep!  Today we hit 78 degrees.  The warmest on record.

 Picked some new flowers for the studio after chores....

 I'm posting these two banners for Jo, over in Africa.  She wanted a better look.

 Put away the umbrella and cut down all the vines that had grown on the fence surrounding the Studio deck.

 Class started at 10:30.

 Before I went out there, one of my students ("Madonna") emailed me a photo.  She and her daughters are in Italy having a GREAT time.

 After lunch I stopped over at Apple Creek Farm to pick up some drops for the ponies.

 Then I headed over to Tina's and split my pickins'.  You know it's apple season when you get behind one of these trucks.

 Phoebe and Gucci were with me, so they had a chance to play with DJ.

 There was still a lot of color in her yard.

 Dream and Sandman were enjoying the nice grass in the back pasture...

and Tina had to finish cleaning her harness (lesson tomorrow).

 She gave me this humungo fern.

Fortunately, Gary moved the rest of the brush this morning...by mid afternoon the town trucks were there picking it up.

 

Great equipment.

I turned a cauliflower into a casserole for dinner.

 Then I went out to do chores.  It had been raining, so the girls were pretty wet.

 Started clearing up just before dark.

 Gary got home (from hanging out with Finn and Coop) just in time.

Delish.

Night all.

It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This....

What a gorgeous day!

 How's that for a mysterious sunrise?

 Only 37 degrees.

 Gary finished planting garlic in the north garden.  I was over there picking spinach and raspberries after chores.  We also still have rhubarb, beets and leeks.

 There's a brush pick up this week so I started moving debris.  Quit after 5 loads.

 Hopefully Gary will do the rest tomorrow.

 

 By 9:30 it started warming up and I took this video of the girls coming in to have their sheets taken off.... At first it would not load because the file was too big.  I had to google the process for trimming.  So much to learn.  I'm the eternal rookie.

 

 Seymour came in the house with me and proceeded to barf all over the kitchen floor.  In the middle of it was a disgusting tape worm, so I was off to the animal hospital to get some wormer for all three cats.  Revolting......

 Picked up a few things at Weggies, home for lunch and then went for a trike ride.

 Rode for a little over an hour.  So heavenly on those back roads.

 Tucked the girls in around 6.  The sun is setting so much earlier.

 Chicken soup for dinner.

Night all.
