Country Ride

We took a ride today to see what the roads were like to do some errands!!
.

.
We saw a nice flock of Wild Turkeys on the Andrews Road out in the Town of Rutland, might have been about 12 to 14 of them, they took off running!!
.

.
They run really fast and when they fly they are kind of slow!!!!
.

.
This was parked up to Nolt'z Mennonite Store,  They are kind of like the Amish in many ways.  This is on the Tig Hill Plateau and they got almost 30 inches of snow and we got about half that last storm.
.

.
This Horse and Buggy just left Nolt'z Store as we pulled in to do our shopping !
.

.
This Horse and Buggy with a Couple bundles up was just coming out of Lowville, the Temps were in the low 20's, road are wet from road salt, all these Horses up around here have steel Horse Shoes on summer and winter !
.

.
We got home and went out and Anna Mae Shoveled out the Doors to check the Bird Feeders !
.

.
I spread the Ice Melt to keep the ice build up down !!
.

.
Feeders filled and Fresh Suet put out for the Birds!!  All in All was a good day !!!!
.

.
Tree is up and lit, Tomorrow we take the Family out for Dinner for our Christmas Present to them !!!

Don't forget our Veterans, Past and Present !!!

Winter is Coming

Well, like I said, Winter is coming, yesterday we had green grass and temps in the 40's.  Well, Today I ended up at the Doctors Office with Angina Atacks and Breathing Problems, SO, we now have on a Nitro Glycerian o.4% Patch I wear 12 hours on and 12 hours off, and I am taking a new Drug called Prednisone.  I am very light headed if I stand up too fast, so it is slow and steady.   I had a 5 lead Heart Monitor put on for  24 hours to monitor my "Throwing PVC's".  It went on yesterday at 3PM and I took it off at 3PM today and took it back to the Lab to have it red and wait to see my Cardioligist on Monday !
.

 .
Yesterday I went outside to clean and fill the Bird Feeders, You can see some snow and also Green Grass, temps were in the 40's and not bad.
.

.
.
.
.
.
..
This was the Bird Feeders this morning,it started storming about 3 am  and reall came down, almost a foot of snow!!
.

.
Anna Mae and I coming home from the Doctors Office and we went out back and cleaned all the snow off the Bird Feeders.
.

.
It's cold, with the Blood thinner, *(Plavix) and the Aspirin and now the Nitro Patches going outside chills these old bones.
