sunrise ~ sunset

D wanted to head out for a pee break at 4:30 am..he seems to be responding to the ACV treatments but hope he soon sleeps thru the night ;) Britt was up and clanging around the kitchen at 7 and headed off to college around 7:20. D wanted out again at 8, actually he was hungry but did both. This is my reward for all this early awakening.

TV reported NYC had the 2nd biggest snowfall on record this w/e.. the girls will not forget their first trip to the big apple now will they?

My morning was spent continuing to hand sand the chair base.. good grief why did I start this.. painting over would have been so much faster ;)

After a quick snack it was back out with yet more sanding. I have a lovely bankers chair I started awhile back but it never got completed so since in the sanding mode I gave it some more work but still not done. The two chairs I plan to use to March FFF contest I worked on taking it all apart. ALL the chairs then got a good scrubbing and hose down.

 before.. after taking off arms and seat and finials

 always damage to be repaired

 but first a  good scrubbing

 for all the chairs

The temperature did get up to plus 1 around lunch but by the time I was done hosing it was -1. Time to walk the pack while they dried. Part way thru, I put Coco and Lex in the garage to dry off and the big dogs and I went to check the hay situation.

Repairs on the one chair were done and left to dry and the love sign painted red before I whipped up a batch of pizzelles. I replaced white sugar with coconut palm sugar and dang if the healthier choice is just not as sweet... on a positive side they may last longer ;)

and this was how the day ended.. beautiful from start to set
