I woke with a headache 3rd one this week, most likely from the vaccine maybe? and I was achy once up but that was probably the hoof trimming. A good old Excedrin and I was ready for the beauty day ahead. Coyotes were carrying on right outside the fence line at 7 with wounded calls and yipping, WTH? The kittens were on the deck though with Luna doing her bird chasing and J lounging at the front door. H was fed early again seeing this silly 7:30 wake up.
I published the grey stenciled magazine rack tutorial I had done the other day then got it posted and shared where needed. A hot chai tea was in order seeing the house was 17 after windows open thru the night along with a banana for breakfast.
The table tops were hauled back out and sanded at 150 grit then brought in to hand sand everything and wipe clean. The first coat of clear stain finishing oil was applied and left to dry. I hauled the antique desk out and took apart earlier but seeing so sunny on that side I moved to the tables. I was just going to start on it when Britt and Cooper arrived around noon. She put feed to soak then we were off to ride.
What a beautiful day! Not a cloud in the sky and no wind and about 22 but felt like 30 with those conditions. She rode Roo and I Switch in on our property but Roo was naughty so back to really workout in the round pen. Switch was untacked an put in the paddock but sweaty Betty had a hose before her release. I watered a few trees including a bucker to little elder.
Time to come in and make coleslaw and have a cold kombucha for a late lunch around 1:30. B wanted to take Bird out and asked if I would ride Pepper. It was a lovely ride yet again this time heading to the winery with the dogs as well. They crossed back to the house once we were back in our yard while B and I went the east loop to finish off the ride. Both horses got hosed before B fed them.
Back in to put shorts on then H got a cool hose as well. She and I sat in the shade watching B and Coop head home after 3. Then it was back to work on the old desk removing hardware and scrubbing up well along with the big coffee table. Both then had wood filler added in areas and left to dry. B had thrown Roo's fly sheet in the wash so I hung it out to dry.
After feeding H her most delicious supper I came in to finish up the last of mushroom zucchini casserole. Catching up the blog I saw Cooper out the window, B was back to trim Roo's feet. I chatted with Mom then Dad on the phone while scooping poop. B was off after 7 as I was watering the garden and deadheading plants/flowers. I just can't believe how beautiful it was this weekend. It hit 26 this afternoon.
Back inside begrudgingly I caught up the blog while watching Blindspot. I also wrote a Hometalk post on the mudcloth magazine rack. Then off to bed to watch but tonight I turned it off after 9:30, earliest ever this summer.
