Sunny Days..
Yet another day of sunshine! How can we stand it?? LOL. Very well, thank you. Keep'em coming, weather gods.
I'm tuckered out. Cleaned 10 stalls in about 4 hours, swept the barn floor, brought horses in from the paddocks, fed dinner, filled water buckets, cleaned paddocks, and then helped Sue groom Phaedra. I was happy to have to sit in my car for an hour to drive home!
Phaedra is getting really close to having her baby; she's due in two weeks, but looking at her today, we're not sure she's going to wait that long. The baby has dropped since yesterday; poor Phaedra looks like she has a giant beach ball hanging from her tummy! Could be soon... oh, my. We're excited..and there is Kismet's baby coming too, in about 4 weeks. We're going to be pretty tired by the middle of June, for sure.
I was too tired to go to the grocery store on my way home, so I had to do some serious improv for dinner; looked in my cupboards and found pasta (I always have pasta on hand), frozen peas and green beans in the freezer, eggs, cheese. Cut some fresh chives and sauteed them with garlic, then tossed the cooked peas and beans with the linguine, threw the whole thing into the pan with the chives and poured in a beaten egg. Stirred it all together, added some shredded cheese, salt and pepper, and called it a meal. It was quite tasty.
I didn't have any bread, so I decided to make some non yeast bread. I just took a nice loaf of oatmeal-wheat bread out of the oven, and it smells so fine. Can't wait to taste it. I must do this more often. I used to bake all my own bread, but I haven't done so for a number of years..I need to get back into it.
I'm ready to settle down with a cup of tea and some fresh bread now. Maybe I'll put a bit of stewed rhubarb on the bread...mmm.
Oh..My roses are getting buds! finally. It's been a long time coming
