A Brisk Morning and a Cozy Start: The day began with a brisk chill, prompting the furnace to be turned on and coffee enjoyed in bed. The morning routine included the usual tasks, with some marketing efforts for me and troubleshooting line locations at Matt’s for S. S made a quick trip to check on the trenching project, but the company declined to proceed without all lines marked.
Midday Hustle: At noon, the three horses were let out, leaving Miss Roo in. S headed to town after 1 PM to golf with Dave S, taking in the Fireball. My afternoon was spent sorting, purging, and cleaning the laundry room, washing horse tack and hanging it out to dry, tidying the house, and working on marketing and blog posts.
Afternoon Adventures: Dave arrived at 2:30 PM to feed the horses, sharing his weekend ordeal of losing a tire off his horse trailer on the QE2. Cooper stayed behind to hang out with Har and me as we walked to the far gate to let the horses in for water, now that Roo was in the middle paddock. Just before Dave arrived, a kerfuffle was heard, signaling Tony’s arrival. Harley chased Tony to the /C unit where J was, causing a commotion. Tony jumped over J, sending him into a panic, and Harley chased him back past me. Tony was eventually put in the kennel, and a skunk-like smell lingered on my hands.
Continued Efforts and Unexpected Surprises: The purging, tidying, and marketing continued with Tony moaning on the deck. Brittany R didn’t come to retrieve Tony until two hours later, I was on a phone call with Bell. She texted as driving out, “OMG he smells like skunk,” confirming another Tony adventure. Cooper was eager to get outside so I took the dogs and Stella for a walk. Back at the house, the shop vac was cleaned out at the barn and brought back, and Har was fed (poor Coop was starving he claimed).
Evening Wind-Down: The evening continued with cleaning before a supper of roast beef sandwiches after 6 PM, realizing S was golfing 18 holes. Luxe Listings was watched on the iPad while eating, followed by some “me time” for nails. A new remover was tried, and the process was still ongoing when S arrived after 7:30 PM. S prepped a sandwich as B and D arrived to feed. Once I got the old layers off I applied a new color, pretty right?
The evening wrapped up with Dave sharing his trailer story with S after 8 PM, and B came in for a bit before they headed home around 8:30 PM. We enjoyed our hot tub with me wishing on a shooting star even. After a shower, we had our yogurt bowls while finishing the season 3 of Luxe Listings, searched for a new series to watch but S was off to sleep so I watched some YouTube furniture videos.
This day was a perfect blend of productivity, unexpected adventures, and cozy moments, capturing the essence of a busy yet fulfilling day. 🍂✨
