Welcome to the Bistro!

​Mary's Blog and Sharon's chalkboard features  - June 21, 2019

And, another fine week it has been! After what seems like months of rain it’s a joy to have such a beautiful sunshiny day. I can finally get out and tend to my overgrown yard.  There is something calming about cutting the grass and trimming. I also love the immediate gratification a just cut lawn provides. The trickling fountains provide my music and the lush woods my serene landscape. I also think of Tom as he got such great pleasure jumping on the tractor and doing the outside work. The perennial gardens are growing in leaps and bounds and in the veggie plot there are lots and lots of budding tomatoes, peppers and eggplant well on their way to adulthood.  Niki, Maddie and Pico love hanging out while I work in the garden and enjoy just taking “it all in.” Z and Picasso will be thrilled to get out too as the rain has kept them stall bound for over a week. Just about every horse that has gone out comes back in minus a shoe. Then, it is a waiting game for the farrier to get back to re-set it. It isn’t smart to ride with a shoe missing as the horse is off-balance. So, I’d rather have them in, safe from slips and slides. ​
