Maybe Tomorrow

If what they say is true, we may have a shot at 60 degrees for the next 5 or 6 days.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Before 8am the town was here picking up our humungous brush pile.  They did not leave one stick on our lawn.

 Not quite as cold this morning.

This afternoon I did a little pruning out in the yard and that was about it.

These flowers have been blooming at this time for years and I never remember what they are called.  Pretty exotic.

 It sprinkled off an on all day long.

 Not too bad when I went out to do evening chores.

Gary had a 5pm meeting and brought home some slices of New York Style pizza when it was over.

We had just enough time to eat it before heading out for a 7pm meeting in Brockport.

Home for the duration.

Night all.

A Full, Freezin' Day

We had a gorgeous sunrise that lasted for minutes.

 Karen did morning chores and at 7 Jackie picked me up and we were off to Rochester for the Flower City Half Marathon.  It was in the 30s when we got there and no sun was in the area  Should have worn a winter jacket..

 The first runner made it up the hill around 8:10.

 

 I was too slow on the draw to get a picture of the front of Elvis.

Almost everyone said thanks and we got a lot of thumbs up....but this year not one person stopped to dance!

 

Around 9:30 the last person ran by and we were ready to leave.

 Home around 10 and could not get warm.

Got a call for some friends who wanted to come up for a truckload of manure for their gardens.

They brought along a dozen eggs and a pint of homemade jam.  I love to barter.

 Right after that, Scott stopped up to get the drag I use to do the arena.  It needs some serious work and he will be getting it back in better working condition.

 Finally, the sky was full of color.

 At 2:15 Gary and I went over to the Town Park to watch Finn's ball game.

The teams were evenly matched, but in the end Brockport lost.  The wind kept me freezin'.

 These kids sure have grown up...the skill level was amazing.

 Gary managed to get everything out from under the willow tree.  Tons of logs have been sitting there for years.  Looks so much better.

 Chores early.

 Made a salad, baked potatoes and grilled pork for dinner.

The fire's going and I'm going to get my butt out in the kitchen.

Night all.

Bright Light

A gorgeous morning.   So nice to have the sun out again.

 (5:30am)

 After cleaning the stalls, Karen and I picked the pastures.

 It heated up quickly,

 and we were able to remove the blankets.

 Out in the back forty, there was one deer hanging out with one goose.

 Gary went to Conrow Farm and picked up a bale of hay for me to check out.  I want to have some extra second cutting (orchard grass) on hand for my 30 year old Berlin.  Think I'll buy 15 bales to make sure she has enough until this year's is ready.

 At 1 I went down to the college for drumming.

 We had a short session as Khalid was playing for a Memorial service at 3.

Chores at 6:30.

 Tucked the girls in and

 we went out for dinner.  No cooking.....

 On the way home, the sunset was spectacular.

Drumming for the half marathon tomorrow morning.  Hope it's not too cold.

Night all.
