Gnatsville.....

In the 60s today, yet the gnats were out in force tonight.

After chores I dug out our little John Deere as I want to pass it on to a friend whose son can get it running again.  It's been sitting around for over a year and needs a major tuneup.

Gary planted this rhododendron in our kitchen garden today.  It's going to be a beauty as it get bigger

I moved some plants around on the porch and like it much better,

After lunch I made some sweet potato salad and threw some baked beans in a crock pot.

No band practice today.

The strawberries have started turning red....now we just need to have more at one time so I can make something with them.

The afternoon light was gorgeous.  I love the way the curtains filter it.

A picnic dinner.

Chores a little after 8.  The gnats were driving me (and the boys) nuts!

Night all.

 

If It's Tuesday

 In the high 60s today...very grey and damp.

Hopefully the bugs were going to give the horses a little break.

I did a couple things around the house and then Alice arrived at 10.  The boys were a little coy,

but they came in when they were bribed with a cookie.

Once again, Rebel waited patiently for his turn.

Alice would love to take him home with her.

When finished, we went out to lunch at Stones and had Pittsburgh salads.

Back home around 1:30 and watched the trial with my buddy.

Gary had Yoga, went out to lunch and had a meeting for the upcoming garden tour.  Seeing that we both  indulged in lunch, I did not make dinner.  Whatever.  Whatever. I had French toast.

Tucked the boys in at 8 and am off duty.

Night all.
