We made it home (now Thursday 26) at 2 am cozy inside after the shocking -12 snow covered welcome back. empty suitcases started laundry Sheldon rolled out bale and fed cats, sunny but chilly with high -2 in city but -6 here. Late afternoon we were off to city to pick up winter tires for B and load up at Costco, then back home unload, sort & freeze the meat (biggest pain of bulk meat) and enjoy jumbo shrimp and beer.
Sheldon spent Friday and Saturday hunting with his buddy Steve, he was successful requiring hanging and skinning then cut up today while watching the Grey Cup.
this air balloon went by Friday, what a clear beauty day for that
I spent my days doing laundry and tidying the house, wish I could have brought a maid home ;) Another HUGE part was going thru pictures and uploading to print. I made it half way thru 2014 but this is great progress. I did not work on any furniture but did post the shelf I finished before I left, the jumbo chalkboard for the wedding was picked up. I managed to get in some online black Friday/ cyber Monday shopping including being Sheldon's secretary to book flights in the new year.
Britty got home later Friday after spending afternoon with Shaina who was up in Olds getting her recall work done. She caught me up on her past few weeks, gave the dogs a check up then hit the TV to catch her shows. She did take a break to "help" Sheldon put on her new tires after he got back from hunting. The majority of her w/e was shows, doing her thank you cards and doing homework. This is her last week of school before finals!
The last 3 days were fantastic above temps usually around 3 but today hit 6, the snow has melted a bit for sure. We enjoyed the sun Saturday walking the dogs to the gate to meet the egg lady. Today we all headed outside to enjoy the sun. Sheldon harrowed the arena for B while I swept the barn side. Britt spent time working Bird then I joined her on foot for ball practice before I hauled the wagon out full of hay to lure the horses back in the paddocks. Sheldon put the 2 rails back up and closed all the gates so now the driveway is back to being open. He and I moved most of the big equipment back in the shop all ready for winter.
Julio got his mash and a check up too from Dr B
The Paetz's stopped quick to have me snap their Christmas card photo so I started a lovely fire. Time for steak supper, Grey cup and a quick visit with Grady when he picked up Britt giving her a ride back to Olds so Sheldon can get her wheels aligned. He brought along a bag of homemade duck jerky, Thanks Grady!
