A Full Day...as usual

A nice cool morning that ended up at 90 degrees.

Mid morning Leslie and I went around the corner to pick some peaches.  Didn't get many as they were as hard as rocks.  In a few days they should ripen.

Jenny called and said they were on their way home from the lake.  They arrived early afternoon and looked like a caravan.  She, Sabine and Scott were in the truck....in the back was a canoe, a chest freezer and the rest was packed solid with tables, bags and boxes.

Sabine had taken the remaining flowers from the wedding and made a bouquet.  They were still beautiful.

I'm sure it took a very long time to unpack the truck and boat.

At 4pm Gary, Leslie and I went down to the corner of Routes 19 and 31 for a protest.

There were many honks and several birds were given to us.  We just said thank you.

Home a little after 5....dinner at 7:30.  A repeat of the pasta/lemon dinner with zucchini, bread and a salad.

Chores around 8:15.  It was getting dark.

The temperature dropped and it's time to open some windows.

Night all.

 

Treading Water

Another nice day full of sunshine, wind and not too much humidity.

These poor guys were looking for some decent grass.

After chores Leslie and I went to a couple stores looking for more hay nets.  Found one, then went to Wegmans.

Gary picked a nice basket of our San Marzano tomatoes today.  Looks like we will be making sauce soon.

4 new hibiscus blossoms.  Huge!

More potatoes were harvested.

I attempted to watch a series this afternoon and slept through 2 episodes.  Must have needed it

Tonight we had Naan bread pizza for dinner.

Chores at 8.  Leslie was greeted by Buddy as soon as we went through the gate.

Got them tucked in and am ready to try and watch what I missed this afternoon.

Leslie found Sidney and carried him in the house for supper.

Night all

 

Big Mike and the Motivators

Finally....sunshine, low humidity and a nice breeze!

David left for Jamestown before we went out to do chores.

It's slim Pickens out there, so I put some hay under the shed roof.

Motored around on the John Deere for a few minutes to check out the pastures.....brown and so dry,

After chores Leslie, Little Wonder and I went to Tractor Supply and Country Max looking for hay nets.

We also stopped at the stand down the road and picked up some nectarines.

Which we turned into a no bake nectarine pie with a graham cracker crust.

Took it easy for awhile this afternoon....

and went down to the Welcome Center for Summer Serenades.  There were some big boats docked there for the night.

I swear the man on this boat has been here before playing the maracas to the music.

Once one person started putting tips in the jar, more people contributed and the lead singer danced with several of the women!

A fun evening with a great band.

We got home before dark and tucked in the boys.

Then it was time for nectarine pie.

Night all.
