dresser gets stripped and the hay seeded yet again

Awake at 4 to see the forecast fog indeed was socked in, at 5 I thought Lex wanted out but she just needed to jump down for an itch then back up in bed, at 6 I was awake again listening for Britt who indeed was up and after her breakfast and lunch packing and out the door I was finally back asleep by 7 only to have Sheldon up grinding coffee at 8! This girl needs some sleep ;/


Lex helping me water .. and check out the bees in this poppy.. 10 hard at work!


The fog was lifting now but it stayed a cooler day. Sheldon ran to get the drill to reseed the hay field yet again. We had an early brunch tuna croissant and he headed out to seed while I got to work on the antique dresser Jean brought. I stripped and sanded the top then scrubbed the entire thing well then left to dry while I updated the blog. I noticed the tractor/drill unit had shut down so Lexi, Lola and I hiked a cold beer over to find the new A/C compressor had blown up spraying oil everywhere and on fuming driver fixing it.




One of my great customers dropped off a kids table and chair and stool for me yesterday while I was gone, thanks Jess.



I also got a custom order for a cute boys room name home plate yesterday and a custom ruler ordered today. I best get busy so the ruler got started. It was sanded lightly to smooth the edges then a coat of stain on front and back and left to dry overnight. I did the wood filler repairs on the dresser and they will need to dry well overnight too.

Kaylin did go to work today for 1:30. She was a bit apprehensive but it went ok. Her wonderful staff gave her an awesome care package full of her favorite things such as bath bombs, candles, candies, Starbucks mug and gift card, supplies for her fav turkey wraps, donuts & a memory blanket. She is surrounded by so many caring people in so many areas of her life, I am so happy work is one of those places too. XOXO

Time to get outside and prune roses, tulips, etc and pull more weeds. The 2" of rain helped the pulling part. Sheldon finished up the  grass seeding just before supper so I helped him hook to the truck then got supper going. We ate once Britt got home then Sheldon took the seeder back.

Lexi wanted to copilot the seeder back ;)

Britt and I headed out to dose Bird with more polyglycon and her meds and video her progress for Dr Jordan. She was then off to study while I took the 3 dogs for a longer walk checking the far water tub. I just got back in when the Prince arrived back too.




I hit the shower before we started another Fearless episode but Prince was asleep in no time so I worked on writing the cedar chest blog post as well as one for Hometalk. I was just turning off the rodeo after midnight when Kaylin arrived after her long day. I helped her haul in some more goodies before leaving her and Lexi to catch some sleep. XO
