Frost came a month later than usual this year, but hard on its heels, we have had a hard freeze, and all the flowers that toughed out the frost are now knocked out until next Spring. Knowing this was coming, I took a few pictures on Saturday morning.






The light is beautiful at this time of year. Saturday was a beautiful day, but I had to get plants situated indoors, knowing the hard freeze was nearly here. As always happens with every project I undertake, mistakes were made…

Artwork was returned to us from the gallery, as they prepare for another upcoming show. Some pieces remain on consignment at McCaughen & Burr, many pieces were sold, but it is nice to have some Weber sculptures back in the house again.
Harry continues to make slow progress. It is hard work, recovering! He remains cheerful and we await some equipment that will make life easier, we hope. For now, we are quite accustomed to the oxygen tether.


Much of today was snarled in phone calls and efforts to arrange medical matters. That effort will continue tomorrow morning, then we go into St. Louis for pulmonary rehab and oxygen. It is very frustrating that the oxygen supplier needs us to be at home for delivery, but cannot tell us when they will be here (and they only com out this far on Tuesdays and Thursdays), so we have to go to them tomorrow to trade in empty canisters.
The dogs make up for all the medical irritations. Weedy is a source of peace, and Eddy a source of hilarity.


We never tire of the sight of horses…

Cats are tucked into the heated tack room. Sixteen year old Skittle shares a bed with Rosie, which warms my heart.

Roscoe shares our bed, where he is well camouflaged.

Tom Morris made the most of Saturday’s warm sunshine on the back porch steps.

This evening, I finished in the barn just in time to catch the last of the red sky at night in the west…

Be safe, be well, get better. Be kind, and grateful. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
