Labour day it was

Labour day Monday was a busy one. Shaina was back home with Lexi from her w/e living in the city, she was soon off to her double work day for 10. Britt was out finishing the swathing by 9:30. For Sheldon and I, it was coffee to get started then I worked on accounting while he perused the internet looking for a baler. Around 11, my custom bedroom client arrived so quickly change out of PJ's and load her up.

It was a beauty day and time to get working on the railing along the south side. Lexi came along spending before lunch on her leash but after lunch she was free wheeling and was getting a better hang of country life. Only a couple of search party times, one bath to rid her of fresh horse poop and she even got in on some old knuckle bone action with the other dogs.

After swathing Britt was off to Goslings to mow for 4 hours. The fence came along great with new rails, pulling the old posts and wire and removing panels all the way to the shop paddock gate where we had to stop due to needing a post that gets hand dug due to positioning by power pole (and we don't seem to have one) There was a couple beer breaks to catch up on the labor day classic football game too. But once we hit the missing pole it was time to shut down and watch the game full attention. I went to the garage and scrubbed buckets, sinks and my poor neglected paint sprayer before giving the black end tables another coat of top coat. Britt and Brooke ran to the city in the late afternoon to do last minute back to school shopping.

When watering the garden I found 2 nice zucchini's to add to steak supper, YEAH! All fresh veggies and dill to go with it but it was not enjoyed until around 9 after we spent a couple hours setting up the round pen. Note to self (AKA Sheldon..;-)) 60 ft round pen does not always mean 60' across, measure one panel X # of panels and do math = doing set up only once :-)

Shaina got off work just as we were finishing up our late supper and was able to get in on the yummy feed. Showers and bed time for all after a very productive labor day for everyone! Shaina stayed up a bit later to catch up with us on SOA episodes.
