Small square bales all made

Coffee early today at 7:30 and more baler manual reading waiting for part store to open while I did some marketing. S was off to town for his parts while I went and mover the horses to the round pen to mow. Again Roo escaped along with Daisy so I had to chase them back with the side by side and they spent the hour back in the paddock. In this hour I took the rocking horse outside and sanded it quick.


I moved the horses all to the new east paddock to mow and was just back inside when S got back. He set off to trouble shoot with his iPad and a video and was successful. Ten bales popped out in no time.





I organized my new furniture purchases, cut drawer liner for the bread box and painted BREAD on it.





I whipped up yummy smoothies for lunch, delivered the prince his to take along as he baled the winter pasture.

Meanwhile I saw a post for a free large dumbcane plant. Thinking Shaina would want it I juggled texts between both and soon had the lady dropping it off as I was moving horses back to their paddocks after their 2 hour mowing job after 12:30. I potted it up, staked the poor wilting thing and watered it in good with fingers crossed.


Now to wax the rocking horse, wax was easy to move at 28 out ;) Then outside in the sunshine to scoop poop from the mowing pens and water my parched pots and garden. S finished the winter paddock small squares getting 146 completed at 3 and we enjoyed a cold beer on the deck.



After digging and finding only 3 new potatoes in my garden we loaded up and headed to town to grab some veggies at the farmers market after 4. It was a quick stop then off to fuel up and grab a door from our renter that had a dog door built in. We hoped it would fit either the garage or shop but sadly once we got home it was too narrow ;(




tables were staged quick and the rocking horse clear waxed


Time to cook up a yummy steak and fresh veggies supper. After supper S loaded 3 bales and went to weigh them at the weigh station, they averaged 1525 pounds each. I worked on marketing and blog posts then went out to give the horses their supplements before scrubbing up the 7 blue bottles S picked me up in town the other day (he did also get 12 blue nun bottles but they are lighter blue and would prefer the Dr Zen Zen).





To round off our evening it was time for a campfire. In usual Sheldon style it was huge as he lit up the jumbo pile of wood he had filled before leaving for camp last time. It was so hot and high he had to go get the hose and water the evergreens around the fire pit. I came in for a shower and some Netflix at 10:30 and he about an hour later having roasted a hot dog to end his campfire evening.
