Finished my sideboard

Yep, another start with coffee in bed then on to marketing with me and to big brown for S. B and C arrived at 9:30 to prep for their riding lesson. The wind was unreal out so it will be an indoors lesson so I opted out to be sure there was enough room inside the arena. B hand watered it and brought in Bird & Roo. I ran a parcel to the gate to have picked up, it was so blustery and cool at 13.

S headed to the custom baling fence to retack up then a drive around while I worked on the sideboard. It was clear waxed then dark waxed and the top another coat of hemp oil and the hardware put on after polishing. It is done!!

I had S help me haul it inside then the cleaning began. I thought it would go at the front door but once there it was too tall and deep. I had vacuumed and washed the floor so carried on for the main floor for both. A quick bowl of let over soup for me then it was back to cleaning. Britt finished her lesson and Anna was off before 12:30. She fed her horses then headed to town after 1 leaving Cooper and J here for a sleepover.

I had S help me move the other sideboard to the front and the new one to its spot now it was all scrubbed up. Both look better in these spots. Now to decorate the front door one and sort all the items in it.

Then above the new one I hung my horse art after adding a wire and wall hook. I dug perennials for mom.

Travis arrived just after 3. We visited over some beers then S cooked smokies and KD for an early supper. We loaded up the perennials, tack etc to send to Oyen along with a half loaf of sour dough for Dad. He was off after 6. A few sprinkles came down, sure hope this is not the forecasted rain.

hoping this is a sign that our luck is changing

I wrote a tutorial for the IKEA chair repair then headed out to take Switch her herbs to the far paddock at 7:30. Now a few more rain drops fell and after I was back inside and showered it really started to come down. In a sun shower actually but so welcome even though it was only half a tenth. S showered and was comfy in big brown with hockey. I finished the Million Dollar Beach House season, it is only 6 short episodes.
