Pony Time...

 This morning it was over 40 when I headed out to the barn, supposedly going

up to 50!  So what did I do?  Gave the girls a break from their blankets.

 A little premature, as it never warmed up and it remained grey and ugly all day.

 At 1:30 I brought Abbe and Berlin into the grooming room as the farrier was to 

arrive at 2.  So I groomed and groomed and at 2:45 gave up waiting and turned them back out.  Within 30 seconds Josh arrived and I had to retrieve the girls....again.

Needless to say they were up to their knees in mud.

 Their feet look great.

 As you can see, it's a mudhole with ponding.

 I got back in with enough time to make a decent dinner.

Carrot/apple/walnut/craisin salad

 country ribs with caramelized carrots and onions

 and baked potatoes.

 Now I'm headed for a hot shower and some pjs.

Can't get warm...and I am still coughing!

 On the other hand, I did sleep for 6 hours straight last night.

Over and out.

No Sunshine Today!

I did the chores on my own this morning so Gary could have a chance to join his coffee group at Java.

 By noon it had started raining and it was bone chilling.

I quickly went out and put the horses inside for the duration as they

were starting to get wet.

I cancelled my class today and decided going to the board meeting was

out of the question.

I must be improving tho, as I had the energy to make a simple dinner.

Night all.

Time To Get Checked Out...

I have loved having sunshine every morning for a week.

Gary is still helping me with chores and it is appreciated.

Not only that, he has finished repairing one of the walls in the hallway

upstairs and almost everything has been painted.

All new windows.  All freshly painted rooms.

Gratitude, just in time for spring.

 The pups have not worn their coats for days 

and the high temperature was 50 degrees by this afternoon.

 I called my Doctor's office this morning and was able to get an appointment for 10:45.

No infections, plugged up, lungs good, no wheezing....no antibiotics prescribed.

Guess I'm going to finish riding it out and must admit that I am not coughing as much.

I cancelled my class for tomorrow and may not go to the Town Board meeting.

Why expose others????

As you can see, most of the snow is gone.

 I get real itchy when this happens and want to clean up the yard.

 I heated up the leftover minestrone and

 picked up a couple of cob salads for dinner.  Way too much food.

Lunch for tomorrow.

Today our friend Joe Morelle announced the he is running for Louise's seat

in the 25th Congressional District.  He is currently the Majority Leader

of the State Assembly and will be a very strong candidate.

 We wish him well!

 I actually don't have my pjs on for the first time since last Wednesday.

Don't get me wrong!  I have not worn the same pair all that time!

My car finally moved out of the driveway.

Now the sun is setting and so am I.

Night all.

More of the Same

Sunshine, melting, morning and evening chores.

I've been in pajamas and prone since last Wednesday.

When will this coughing go away?
