New chaps

Up and at it doing a quick bit of marketing and gathering stuff for town before heading to Sharon's for a marketing meeting. She had finished up my new farrier chaps and man are they purdy!! I am not sure I can get them dirty! :) We caught up on life over a couple coffees and fresh bakes banana muffing as well before I headed out before 1. My plan was to run to town and do my errand list and drop the Etsy parcel but had to stop at home to use washroom quick. To my surprise Britt had the quad and wagon out and was picking poop.

After a quick chat planning to ride once she was done I headed in and put the nightstand new hardware on and oiled the wood. Once I hauled it downstairs I think it needs painting as the stain is that orangey color. ;(

Seeing she had moved to the far paddock and the post office closes early now I made a quick trip to town. First stop was to pick up a new mop system and scraper blades, drop off a faux tile giveaway on the winners step then drop the parcel. Last stop was to pick up a paint project Craig brought back from Oyen for me along with a bottle of pink Whitney I heard good things about and give Ada her birthday gift.

It was a short but sweet stop before getting back to the ranch at 3. B was riding Pepper and ponying KD then took them both to the round pen as full of spice before cooling them out and putting back in their paddock.

We did a quick photo shoot of the new chaps before we set out for our ride. The day had been overcast and blustery but the sun did peek out making our ride a bit nicer but they are forecasting well needed rain for next few days so we wanted to get a ride in.

We finished up about 4:30 then B fed the B's then was off for home. I whipped up new magic spray and made a tuna sandwich for supper and did some computer work. The magic golden hour turned beautiful and seeing there may be rain I went out and scooped the poop out of the closest paddock and dumped it and the wheelbarrow full at the pit.

Two wood spools were picked up by a neighbor after 8 with a short visit. Britt and Dave pulled in to drop off planters, wired edging and the saw they borrowed as she was leaving. B also brought apples to the horses. A quick visit and they were off too. I watched a few more Outer Banks to end my lovely day.
