Temperatures plummet

Looks like another usual week ahead with the same start to the day. Let H in garage at 7:30, make coffee, feed H, drink a coffee in bed while one peruses the news and the other plays brain games then move on to cup #2 in the kitchen. Brr overcast and ugly out ;(

After cleaning Harley's cheek I came in and created a Hometalk post for the fall mason jar while S was on his follow-up nurse call. I then wrote one for the white cabinet too. I continued my marketing while S went out to roll a bale in the -12 but still heavy winds for the horses.

Once back in we headed to town to drop off my Etsy parcel and his oil sample at post office. Library books were returned then off to pick up Cooper. I walked into the condo and found him sitting on the couch with Dave; looks like he has a great buddy for the day. Next stop was Paetz's to drop off the rug shampooer I borrowed and pick up sweaters I had her grab for me at Costco as well as a short visit as they had their lunch. We grabbed a burger and a jug of milk on our way home. The horses were all but 1 cozied up for a nap in the hay.

We got back from town before 1:30, while S ate his burger I wrote another Hometalk post, this one for Amanda's dining table. I then got 2 new projects on the go; a mens valet and new jewelry box. S perused the net in big brown as the wind blew. A snow squall blew in at 4 but did not last long.

The valet lining was painted a prettier green inside.

Then I had S cut me a new drawer stop that I glued and clamped in place. The jewelry box and valet had pulls carefully removed then the jewelry box was sanded where needed and box pieces were cleaned well.

When dry I put it together for a before picture then painted it a coat of charcoal grey. I finished up my projects then came in and cooked the last HF meal; chicken pita wraps which turned out very tasty.

After supper I sat by the fire for a bit and wrote yet another Hometalk post; for the custom rocking chair. B was out to feed in the blustery weather after 7 as well she put blankets on the other 3 then was off by 8. Marketing, blog and tutorial work while watching McLeod's daughters before scrubbing H's cheek after 9 while S washed the pots and had a bowl of maple walnut ice cream. I created an ad for the peony tin to my Etsy shop, ordered to many online gifts then moved into bed to continue watching my show with S falling sound asleep after a couple pages of his book.

S submitted these pics of him and his friend who really does like ice cream, really!
