Sunday in the sunshine

The gorgeous sunshine continued today drawing us to the deck to have our morning coffee. Lola continues to get hunks of winter hair pulled out and with the slight breeze it looked like winter for awhile ;) Britt begrudgingly headed off to work at 9:30. Sheldon did his first successful gopher run of the day.

 look how green the ranch looks

The sun continued to beckon us outside so gardening and yard work ensued. More seeds planted and the potatoes are already pushing thru! Sheldon built a ramp for the west end of the arena and we got it leveled in nicely. He then pushed gravel back up around it and all the edges on north and west sides to make tidy.



hard to see but look way back beside the gate, this little bugger was greeting me in the wrong paddock after he removed the top rail and came on over


My first pickup arrived around noon to get the deep freeze followed soon behind by the gal finally picking up the cedar chest. I trimmed Pepper again to balance up his quick changes. The gopher hunter made many more treks out during the day blasting off about 5 boxes of shells claiming a 90% accuracy rate.

the couple stopped to pick up their custom pieces ;)

Shaina was home from her work shift with a migraine and throwing up so I tuckered into bed with water, crackers and migraine pills. By the time Britt got home from work she was ready to head out and ride. Cassidy came out and she and Shaina took a leisurely stroll on Daisy and KD while Britt and I worked Bird and Switch in the paddock and practiced. The 21 degree weather was fantastic.Sheldon has a sunburned head to prove it lol

Shaina gave Daisy wormer before letting her back out while Britt and I dosed up the cats and then had to wrestle Lola to give her hers. Literally wrestle, she hates this stuff! Shaina was then off leaving us to our steak supper. Britt was picked by Josh soon after and they headed to the city for a movie, Neighbors 2. Sheldon and I caught up on some PVR Quantico's. The weather started to take a nasty turn after supper, D had to go in garage of course, blowing in rain when I let Coco out at 1 am.
