First day of fall

First day of fall and it feels like summer, the sun is shining and hardly any wind. Ground hogs day again at the ranch with dogs fed and horse doctored and both put in the round pen to mow ;)

Shaina was up when I got back in just before 11 and after she cooked up some eggs and I added white glaze to the end table we got busy trimming horse feet. Baby was first up followed by KD. She put Switch in the round pen with the other 2 to help with the knee high grass.

 

She then got ready for work while I was back in the garage sealing the growth rulers with flat matte and adding more whit glaze to end table. As she headed to work I moved the 2 first mowers back leaving Switch to do more work ;) the rulers got their aging treatments.. almost ready to roll.

Seeing it was 20 and I had to put Switch back I stopped and trimmed her feet too. In the sunshine, bad idea as sweaty Betty and stupid flies. Mid trim, Jacqueline stopped to pick up her super cute cabinet!

Lola spotted a coyote again near the house in the hay field and chased it off.

Growth rulers got their final antiquing steps and staged for a picture.

Then it was time to bite the bullet and do the dining table treatment. Of course the first portion looks awesome but the down side of stain over paint is speed and the next portion looked blotchy so out came the mineral spirits to wipe all off and start again ;(

End table was distressed along the horizontal edges and then a first clear coat over entire piece.

The ground hog evening events were performed but tonight's late meal was one of the last zucchini sauteed up, so yum. Anyone else watch season premier of Survivor season 31!! HAHA
