Wet

I think this was our transition day.  Rained off and on, attempted to snow and was just plain ugmo.

Buddy and Rebel did not even look at their hay nets under the shed roof.  Instead they preferred to spend the day in the pasture getting soaked.

Gary was doing his favorite job...

and Seymour slept in his favorite spot.

After chores, he and Jenny went out to Hamlin Beach (in the rain) for the now very popular New Years Day Hike.  Little Wonder and I held down the fort.  Ariana stopped up around 4 and watched football with Gary.

I went out for chores at the usual time and both boys were looking like they were hosed down..

I took off their sheets (which will take forever to dry) and put on their blankets as the temperature is going to drop and stay that way for the next three weeks.  Yipeee!

They sure don't seem to mind getting wet.

My phone sure made the sky look good tonight.  At least it was not raining.

Ariana went back to Jenny's for taco night and we had a picnic dinner.  The old standby.

Time to finish watching a movie.

Night all.

Wishing all of you a very happy, healthy and safe new year.  Maybe no fireworks!!!

Pot Luck Jam

Dreary, rainy, damp and chilly.  Stephanie was up and on the road by 6:30am.  She arrived in Kansas City at 9:30 tonight.  She is one tough cookie to drive that straight through!

A weather change is on the way.

Too bad the sun did not stay out.

After chores I did some laundry, put clean sheets on the bed and then went to Wegmans.  I put away my old bags (used for groceries) because Steph got us these cloth bags with family photos for Christmas.  They are so cool!

I don't have a clue how this photo showed up on my phone.  Cute dog.

Got the boys tucked in, took a shower and we headed down to a friend's house for a pot luck supper and  jam.  I'd say there were about a dozen of us playing.  Here are a couple sounds.  Many of us have never played together.  Sara had a screen attached to her iPad and could put up the lyrics and chords.  Good time and it felt so good to have a music fix.

Home a little after 10.

Night all and wishing you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Out to Lunch

Talk about a soupy day.  In the 30s, raining and wild wind.

A little after 6:30am it looked like this.

Same old same old with the boys.  Hay nets under the shed roof and rained on in the pasture.

Little Wonder got caught in some vines.

Gary treated Stephanie and me to lunch today at Rorbachs.  A very nice time to have some good conversation...and our sandwiches were great.  I had a Reuben and German potato salad.  Yum.

Home around two, then an hour later Jen and Scott came up for a family conference.  The kids had a good time at the Bill's game (as you can see, these three are Jets fans....so are their Dads)

 and when they got back to Jenny's they had garbage plates for dinner....11 of them all together.

Chores as usual this evening.  The boys were not quite as wet as I thought they would be...but muddy necks and heads from rolling.

Not cooking tonight.  Instead I am going to practice a few songs on my uke.  Tomorrow night we are going to a pot luck/jam with many of my fellow musicians.  I need a music fix.

Night all.
