Flowers and yardwork

Saturday already, with my coffee I finished up my tutorial for the yellow chair and got it posted to a few places. S relaxed in bed before getting on with the day. I gave Bird her gastro just at noon, only 12 hours since last :)

lunch green smoothie

We made a quick trip to town after lunch. The free dresser I was offered turned out to be junk, rats. A few groceries were next then beer stock up and a stop at the flower shop to pick out some anniversary flowers. I picked my favorite peonies and sweet smelling freesia.

On the way out of town I saw the windshield repair due was in town so we stopped to fix a chip that happened yesterday on our road trip.

Britt and Cooper arrived soon after we were back at the ranch. She ran to town for groceries to make a Japanese salad for tomorrow as Sheldon and I went out to plant 2 new roses and edge the back flower bed. It looks soooo much better!

After we finished that S was off to weed eat the yard while I planted 6 new perennial plants in the front flower bed then water them all in along with the pots and garden.

Once back B worked with Roo a bit taking her for a walk and giving her probiotics. We then came in and she got her salad made up. Supper was the yummiest steel head trout, with a salad and buttered carrots. YUM!!

carrots cleaned up slick with my new scrubber from Debby, THANKS!!

B and I rode while S kindly changed B's oil after his big brown rest. We fed the horses, tacked them back up in their fly gear and put in pens.

borrowing roo's head gear, quite the look heh?

Time for a soak in the tub with all the achy muscles after such an active day.

I LOVE ranunculus too, they were my other choice at the flower shop

Today Dave set a track record and won the Shirley McClellan breeder stakes, Shirley only found out the next day the relationship to B but sent me this photo ;)

congrats Dave!!
