Wonderful Friday

It's been a really nice day. Started with 61* and so far has topped out at 82* and been breezy all day out of the north. Tim worked OT on Wed so made for a short weekend but was a nice day too. Sandi was taking Sam to the dr on Thursday so it worked out well for me to go down on groom him for her on Wed. Talk about a run on sentence! Didn't take long as it was only a couple of months ago that I groomed him last.
  Went to the dr myself yesterday. Changed my heart burn/acid re-flux med to see if we could get rid of all symptoms .....not too sure of that. Will give it a try. I've lost 5lbs! And need to start back on those dang niacin tabs. I hate those and for that matter, all the rest of the dang pills. lol

The local grocery store had a "kids day" and these guys actually won a six pack of cupcakes each in the games they had set up in the aisles. And free face painting. One of their friends got the spiderweb on her face too so Aiden declared "she'll be my sidekick!" How funny. Today when they all went to town, Dahlia went as a princess in her tutu. Bet she looked so cute.

Snagged this little chocolate eating machine off line the other week. Boy, has he got Steve's hair or what?

  Do they look like cousins or what? Little devils.......

Here's Tori and Julian in case you missed it online. His third birthday. Boy, they grow up so fast.

 
                                                           Can we have do overs?

It's a diamond day no matter what!

Sunny Sunday

It's still dark outside with a full moon, actually was a supermoon. Was closer to earth than normal. Was really nice. There was/is supposed to be a meteor shower peaking the last few hours but it was so bright you couldn't see them.

 Here's my amaryllis blooming this year. About 3 weeks ahead of it's normal time. I noticed the tiny little bloom on the stamen?. It's very tiny and pink. Interesting.

 There were 3 blooms this year instead of 2! May have another bloom coming on.  Linda had this plant one Christmas (you know the ones they force to bloom for the holidays etc) and afterward she didn't want to mess with it and passed it on to me. I'm sure glad she did. I just let nature take it's course, put it with the other house plants and this is the result - year 2.

This is a photo of Pop's grandparents. Mary Fuller Tanner born about 1820. Here's her husband, Thomas Tanner, born in 1812 and died in 1864.

Quite a stern looking couple. I still haven't figured out why photographers told people not to smile. It's amazing to me that I can find photos like this online that people don't mind sharing. I love it! The internet is so wonderful! Talk about a way-back picture!
  We didn't go to bed til midnight last night! How silly was that? Think I'll go back to bed now and try again. Hope T can stay awake at work today.
  I plan on it being a diamond day. Wish me luck.

Monday, Monday

Starting the day off with a little bit of snow on the ground. Not much but the first snow of the winter. It will be gone tomorrow as the temp will be in the 40*'s. Supposed to turn to sleet later today tho. Hope that Tim gets the feed before the ice comes. Gotta have it today. Jeanne is still under "house arrest" and healing nicely. The top picture was taken in 06 when she was pregnant, with Frosty, I believe. The othe picture was taken last summer. Not bad for a 17 yr old that was used as a brood mare most of her life. Until she came to us she had a colt most every year, poor dear. She will become my next trail horse I'm thinking. We'll see how we get along during this rehab. She's not very respectful to humans but is generally easy to get along with. Be a good time to start her over with the ground work while she can't be under saddle.

Now this is funny. I'm so slow at some projects. I started this linen blouse last September and finished it a few days ago. Five months to finish a few hour project! Good grief!

Here's one from the way back folder. Time frame: had to edit what I wrote. Time frame: I was aound 9 yrs old. 1962-63..give or take a few months. I remember that Easter dress. It was taken at the farm house. Weren't we a handsome bunch? haha
 Had beans and cornbread for dinner last night. Sure was tasty on a chilly night. Will be good for lunch today too.
 I think I'll make a dessert of some kind today too. Haven't decided what kind. Pie, cake, maple bars or candy. So many choices.... and another homemade pizza for dinner. I will remember to take a picture of it this time.
  This may be a multiple post day as I need to get started on my chores.
       Some days are diamonds!
