Trees pruned

Sunshine and plus 3 to start the Saturday. I did some marketing with my coffee. S found the Masters tournament for todays sports entertainment.

Off to the garage to work on the table tops. I went with a white gel stain then brushed some grey thru. This set has had many pivots but hopefully it all turns out. S went and picked up the partial bale he left at the winter gate seeing the snow is melting. The horses will choose to graze on the old grass vs the hay so no need t roll anymore out. Back inside I had him sort his coats hanging out there. I washed up my winter coveralls and a couple of his coats. Low and behold he found the car key! In his jean coat even though he checked all his coats many time yesterday. So glad it is found. He headed in for more coffee and a rest.

The table tops were wiped back and left to dry. Fingers crossed it looks neat. Being now plus 10, I ventured out to prune the apple trees. Mom suggested this am that it was prime time. The snow bank allows me to get up to the top easy but falling thru the snow was the hazard. The east pasture is 3/4 bare now. S mixed up tuna for lunch. I came in after 12 for a sandwich then back out to trim. We have allot of trees; many are fruit trees. S and H came out after while and made his water trenches for run off. He took the wagon full of tree branches and poop to the pit as well, thanks. Returning it empty I set about to fill it again. They both came back in to rest and watch golf.

I worked my way around ending at the pear tree. There were many times I fell thru the snow to my crotch. HAHA there is lots of snow around many of the trees but it is sketchy. I came in for a cold drink at 3:30. Mom stopped out to show me photos and more details she has found for the family tree. Dad stayed in the car napping in the sun. Sheldon was off to his last hockey shinny of the season at 4. Mom and Dad headed back to town around 4:30. It is plus 14 but there is a bit of a wind. Both continue the melt.

Garage laundry continues along with brush washing, hair sweeping. I then got busy working on family tree stuff as Mom left me more information and photos. Ma and Pa K arrived just before 6:30 as I was typing. We had a nice visit. I put pizza in for supper. S arrived home from his hockey at 8. Cold beer and pizza with his Flames game starting. All but me headed to TV room to watch the game. I continued with my ancestry work.
