Mr J was happy to see me this am but very loud, more then normal once outside. He has never liked to be alone. I had a cap with him on the deck and some watering then back in to market a bit. Today I have drop off/ pick up and a couple coming to see the dining set so it was clean time. The dining set was moved to the stair area and the dresser hauled in. Knobs were put on the dresser and it was all put together and staged. The gal will pick up tomorrow.
Once the dresser was moved to the front door along with the navy accent table the dining room was reassembled along with the rest of the pieces. Dusting was in order for the main area to look its best. Back outside with J for awhile I tidied up the front flower beds removing the fencing and wood pieces used to stop dogs laying in the cool mulch. Hoses moved, more plants pulled and dog poop picked up. Lola always went in the fields which made cleanup after her non existent.
More tidying and a tuna sandwich before B, Cooper and Lexi arrived after 1:30. B found KD back leg puffy so hosed and wrapped it, good job nurse B. She then caught Roo to ride. The sun was full out now heating up to 25 now after a nice partially clouded cooler morning.
The navy table customer arrived at 2 bringing another one to be painted to match. We had a short visit as she is a great repeat customer then she was off. I continued my cleaning and marketing till the table couple arrived around 3. They had allot of questions and decided the hint of grey in the top was just not what they wanted. They wanted solid stark white and will look for one to have me custom paint, darn the luck.
I picked this first carrot of the season as I watered the garden then was watering the parched grass by the apple trees to try and revive a bit and moved to another spot. It seems it was lucky I had the timer going on my phone for this as I had set off for town after 4 to attend Amanda's birthday supper celebration. I had a few stops prior to and while looking for paint stripper in Rona the timer went off!! Dang it! I could not leave it run or the tank would go dry and burn out the pump so instead of getting groceries after supper I grabbed them and ran them home and turned off the water.
I was heading back to town just after 5 when I could not spot Pepper in the far paddock and Bird had been standing along the fence alone when I drove in and still so worried about the black cloud that seems to be hanging over the ranch I opened the gates and drove over. I hiked to peek over the hill and nothing but found him standing in the shelter just chilling. Thank God.
Of to town and arriving at the Paetz's now to celebrate. Britt was invited as well and we all enjoyed a most delicious steak and Japanese salad supper. SO yummy!! Instead of birthday cake all 8 of us loaded up in the expedition and went thru the DQ drive thru. Some had cotton candy dipped cones, some sundaes and the birthday girl and B a blizzard. Funnest birthday cake I have had this year! THANKS Paetz's for including us in your big day XOXOXO. Happy birthday Amanda!! XOXO
B and I set off for home around 8. B swung past her place to get Cooper. We fed the 2 mares and Britt hosed and rewrapped KD's leg again. She is such a great caretaker of animals. THANKS B!! While we were out there we head a car beeping on the highway. On the off chance it was someone tooting at a cat we jumped on the quad and headed down the highway/tree line stopping to call Mitz along the way. We looped around thru the neighbors field and back to scour the mezzanine again just to check all hiding spots. No luck ;(

B and Cooper were off for home now as it was getting dark around 9. I brought J back into the garage for the night then Lexi and I hit the big comfy bed to finish the season of Glow Up. I had to check the deck twice when I heard a distant meow (which was only J in the garage) and again when Lexi barked at the door in her intruder alert bark. Sadly nothing seemed to be out there.
