projects complete and a sale too

The sun was out when the day started but quickly was hazed over. Dave was off to Lacombe before 7 getting his new digs all set up and ready to race for the next 8 weeks.  I did roust B to make me a cappuccino after 10:30. Looks like I may have to buy a machine once she is off with hers.

I spent the morning painting another coat of white on the wee cabinets and more milk paint on the frame. B headed to town before noon for appointments. Before she left she moved Daisy and Roo back in with the herd but noticed Daisy was off on her back leg and swollen so I went out and put them in the mowed east paddock till she was back to further examine.

Back to my painted projects finishing up the white cabinets and hauling in

 Then finally getting to work on a sign I have in mind for Lance's wedding. Power tools were needed to cut this old fence board then using the wire brush on the drill I cerused the age to make it look old. It then got a good scrub to remove all the years of yuck and left to dry.

The sun was back out at 1:30 hitting a high of 21 and a perfect day outside. B got home after 2 and checked on Daisy. She took them back to the south paddock and hosed her leg and applied liniment before she got a hot bean bag and took herself to bed to rest her sore back.

Dry brushing 2 more milk paint colors on the frame and waxing were my last project steps of the day.

I was off to town at 4:30 as dark clouds rolled over. They ended up doing nothing however. I dropped Mom's boots and the black pepper grinder I just finished at Paetz's for Craig to take out this w/e. Thanks C!! The pepper grinder sold in less then a day to the gal who bought the octagonal coffee table.

I was then off to meet Coreena and Sharon for C's birthday get together at Boston Pizza. What a great catch up we had and before we knew it, it was after 8:30. I grabbed a tea and the mail and was headed back to the ranch. Britt was relaxing enjoying her day off.
