SNOW day= stuck day Good Friday

Today is Good Friday but it is also a socked in snow day again. It blew and blustered all morning. I was up at 8 and with coffee off to work on the dresser. I sanded it, stenciled on the door, waxed it all and added the scrubbed antique hardware. It is just so sweet. Just black wax to add and it will be done. I hope the 13 yr old loves it.

I also scrubbed up this octagonal coffee table which was covered in dust from storing since I bought it. It will be my next project.

The girls went to check out a couple house in Chestermere with no luck. I was just in for a wee bite to eat just after 3 when I got a text "I'm stuck" from B... where? "the driveway" sure enough I look out and she is buried at the 2nd curve. I had no idea she was coming today thinking she had puppy class tomorrow and never even looked at the luge run. She and Cooper hiked it to the house. There was no way to get the truck to tug her as the yard gate was stuffed solid so independent woman B got out the skid steer with the bucket and got to plowing. The snow even quit and the sun came out!

Horses were excited thinking she was bringing a bale ;)

Two coyotes were causing quite the ruffling of Lola's feathers today as was B's cause Cooper was right out with Lola trying to move them off.

See the coyotes and my guard dogs at work?

About an hour later she had a new luge run and I bundled up, jumped in the bucket and we headed to the car.

She dug around it while I put the floor mats under the tires and with a few pushes the little Jetta was free from its high centered snow bank. I took the car back to the house and she finished plowing the road to the gate. GOOD JOB B!!

She was back in the house 2 hours after she first walked in with bootfuls of snow. I cooked a hot supper, she showered as has big plans in town tonight. I bundled back up  and went out before 7 to toss a bale for the ponies. However in their non logical thought came when called but to the opposite side of the fence. What a piss off they must have thought after trudging thru all that deep snow only to be a few feet away. Eventually they just trekked back to the pit where the bale usually is rolled out to pick for morsels there. B was just heading to town as I came back in.

Soon after she left the snow started again lightly ;) lets hope the laneway stays open till she gets home. I worked on the furniture blog posts but did head out and put another coat of black on the dresser top while waiting for Lola and brush cleaning. Britt went home via taxi with Amber for the night.
