It's another typical Sunday, starting with coffee and brain games, followed by S enjoying porridge before church. Britt and I had planned trail riding, but the dark western skies and rain forecast shifted our focus to marketing and blog posts. I encountered issues with Friday's blog post; it was so slow, and it seems I inadvertently uploaded photos in full size, consuming excessive space. Given my blog's space limitations, I had to replace them with resized, watermarked images. Numerous videos required resizing as well. Additionally, I completed my monthly payroll submissions, crafted a tutorial for the white magazine rack, and began promoting and communicating with the paint company. Lastly, I brought in the dresser S acquired yesterday from back of the truck.
S returned from church with tea and a muffin at 11:30, then settled in to watch hockey while I dealt with blog issues. He cleared furniture from beneath the garage lift and took out the fireball. Britt and Cooper came over at 12:30 with a new plan for the day cleaning the tack room. After finishing my BST sandwich and publishing Friday's blog, I joined her to help around 1, as S left for town to assist the Stouts with a solar company presentation.
I fetched a bucket of warm water and the shop vac, and we began emptying, vacuuming, and reorganizing the tack room. At 2:30, as the rain began, I dashed to the house for tacks to hang new posters. We sorted items to send to the tack collector, to clean, and to discard or wipe down. After 3, I returned home to bring Harley in from the rain, as she wouldn't come to the barn, and resumed working on the blog posts, completing yesterday's entry.
B completed her tack cleaning, but not mine, as she claims she has too much on her plate. She and Cooper left for home after 3:30, and by 4, the rain had ceased giving us just under a 1/10th. S arrived home past 4:30 and settled down with big brown to browse the internet while I was busy preparing a roast in the instant pot. The sun burst out in full glory at 5, albeit briefly. Afterwards, I prepared potatoes and onions with coconut oil before returning to write today's blog post.
B was out to feed the horses once the rain stopped, just as we were settling down to eat after 6 PM. I returned to working on the blog and marketing. I had to get details off a piece from down at the "store" during the golden hour, I noticed the windows were terribly dirty from the inside, so I paused to clean the west basement living room windows. B headed home again before 7. Back at my computer work, I heard a commotion; it was Tony racing by. I let Harley out, hoping her barking would deter him, but it was futile since they have two large dogs. S emerged from the big brown vehicle and caught Tony just as Mark arrived to retrieve him. They chatted on the deck for a while. I composed a Hometalk post for the condo mirror fix. As the winds intensified and the rain resumed, I rushed out in the dark to harvest the last of the green tomatoes left on the vines.
The winds howled and carried on as I moved to bed to watch more Luxe Listings on the TV with S joining after sports were done.
