Hazy, Hot and Humid Friday

Sittin' in air conditioned Panera Bread waiting for Sebastian to complete his coiffure. I left him off at noon. He was not happy about it but will feel much better with his summer butch cut.

I moved Bearfoot back down by the barn this morning. I set it up differently with more room on the curb side for my awning should I decide to put it out. I may be staying in the coach off and on for the rest of the summer and early fall. I hope to rent my house as a B & B type of vacation retreat. Brent and Sharon, my friends from Tampa, gave me the idea. I am still in the process of putting the ad on the web. vacationrentals.com

I planned on uploading all the photos today here but I guess I have to put them on in smaller batches. The upload didn't take. The title of the house is Locust Grove Cottage if you look. You have to go in under NYS and then to Glens Falls or Adirondacks.

Pete and I picked 12 qts. of blueberries yesterday a.m. It was easy picking since the bushes are large and loaded with ripe berries. In fact, it was a challenge not to lose some as you picked. They came off easily. Very large berries too. Tonight we are freezing them. We did the same thing last year and I paid pies from all of them.

Last night we drove to Florence, VT for my grandson's 18th b'day celebration. They carry on our family tradition of serving what the b'day person wants including the cake. Therefore, we had chinese food from the Panda Pavillion and Reeses Pieces choc. cake with ice cream. Everything was yummy! Sebastian went too and was exhausted on the way home from fending off their young boxer/lab mix, Denzel. The young dog thinks it is a big game to hear Bashey bark and growl. Pete and I yawned all the way home. He drove, thank God. I can't see well at night. But it was after 10 p.m. when we got home. It is a fair distance up there. We walked across the road to see if Miss Louise had any of her free range chicken eggs. They are like Easter eggs, all different colors. She makes wonderful jams, jellies and relishes too.

Tomorrow Pete and I are going with some of his family to Burlington, VT for a brew tasting at a microbrewery. I have never been to one before. Should be fun.

Let's see if I can load some pics on here.
