Custom cabinet complete

Happy birthday Amanda Jean!! There was  2/10ths of rain were accumulated over last day or so. I was off to get lashes filled at 10. Sharon had a lesson going when I got back. Sheldon was just heading outside to putz around with fuel tank he brought back. Then unhook the dump trailer.

We went to town after lunch to drop off Amanda's birthday gift, an early Christmas gift for the kids and have a quick visit. Craig had also picked up 2 antique tables at the pawn shop for me. Sadly someone pulled the brass toe caps off one.

We then dropped the truck at an autobody guys to repaint the rusting bumper. As we were sorting recyclables lo and behold S found the missing nail trimmers in the cardboard box! Fuel jugs were filled.

Back at the ranch, I got busy painting the cabinet a pretty teal blue.

H food was delivered. Soon after B arrived with more horse feed. She found Timba was dragging his leg and swelling increased. She fed then was off to care for her 22 horses back at the barn. Sharon came out around supper time. I helped her hose his leg and fill a hay net. He will stay on barn paddock and see vet in morning.

Touchups with an artist brush were made then a full 2nd coat of teal

We finished the King of Collectibles series. Wow some collector cards are $$$.

Ada tie-dyed this cute little onesie for Renn and it now fits <3

Thursday am, I helped Sharon load Timba to take to vet in my pj's. Coffee and marketing then I got more touch ups and clear coat on the cabinet. S went to pop a few gophers. I had him back out the fireball then gave the garage a good organizing. I got Britt's feed tubs washed up and put in place. The garage looks so much better when organized. S took fireball to mail then changed the oil. It is an overcast windy 17 degree day out.

Bacon tomato sandwiches for lunch. Sharon was back from vet appt locking Timba in the house paddock with Switch. S finished up some pump work for Matt then back to gopher patrol. I put more clear coat on the cabinet and think that might be complete. In the hurricane winds I went and let Switch out. The paddock is basically powder.

Shaina went along again to chiro and Renn actually fell asleep in car, and took her soother!!

S showered and headed to the city to have supper with Shaina. This was her birthday gift to him. I stayed home and scrapped rubber mat backing off the hardwood then brought the cabinet in to stage. More touchups as always see areas in different light.  Britt arrived to feed and get more moving boxes. We gave Harley her cartrophen shot. Sharon and Darren stopped to give Timba his meds and hang hay bags. B had a short visit then was off to start packing.

I worked on tutorials. I cooked up a pot of mushroom soup after 7 for my supper. I added new paintings to Etsy and put a sale on jewelry boxes. It is sure is slow on that platform. The winds finally let up to a breeze. I unpacked my paint parcel that arrived the other day. Some more new products to try. Including the horse rice paper.

I was watching a disturbing show on fast furniture and deaths of children from falling dressers when S got home after 9. He had ice cream cake and watched TV. A new Netflix cooking series for me was started.

Dresser sale & custom piece

After our coffees I got busy watering plants inside. This led to many plants being all moved around. S went and took off a heavy gate on far paddock to take to bison pasture in AV. He also moved the dead now stinking coyote carcass from where he shot it. He was headed to AV at 11. Dog poop was scooped along with more boring tasks. I walked the horses to winter pasture gate to remind them where water was. The dogs came along too. I picked up a cabinet dropped at the gate for custom painting. Good thing it was not solid wood as the customer thought. It was a workout hauling it back to the garage.

Marketing, blog writing and tutorial work was next. The bone broth was packaged up and another batch set to simmer. I fed the dogs early. The babybel cheese for lunch was not holding me over. I ran to town at 3. Thrift store donations were dropped. My favorite Opa was picked up for ate lunch/early supper. I ate it and drank a smoothie in the parking lot. A stop to pick up a pretty orchid for AJ's bday. Jars were dropped at the gal who left us a jar of fruit explosion sauce in exchange!!

Then it was to help Dad with supper. He was sleeping when I got there. I took him for a walk and visit before supper. He was very quiet tonight. After supper we walked a bit then he was tired. I left him sleeping in the TV room.

Back home I continued working on the computer tasks inc accounting. The garden was watered seeing no rain. Sharon stopped to check on Timba and have a short visit. A few drops of rain came down but that was all that happened. 10 drops on a 90% rain forecast :( B text she just landed after 8:30. She will come tomorrow to pick up Cooper. I went to bed early watching some Netflix and lights out.

It was misty fog Tuesday when H went out at 6:30 and still around when I fed them. I published the garden angel tutorial. Then of course all the shares and sends followed. I started on the cabinet after a couple coffees. It was cleaned, repaired and a coat of primer put on. 

B arrived just before noon. She trimmed Harley's nails as I cannot find my clippers, THANKS! She fed Bird in the drizzly rain. Again it was short lived, boo!

Renn at her chiropractor appointment, They said she grew since last week :)

A gal on her way from Sask to Calgary stopped to see the blue dresser. She loved it. Finally it found its home! We had it loaded and her on her way home. The sun was now out in full force. I added the second coat of primer. Feeling like fall I headed out and pulled most of the morning glory plants. Others were chopped down and the full wagon taken to the pit to dump. I was picking horse poop along the road when the quad started sputtering. It was left at shop to fill later.

Sheldon's onlookers as he hung the gate

Inside I grated zucchini and cooked up a lasagna. I added a layer of zoodles to it then made chocolate zuc muffins. The bone broth was packaged up too. It was a busy messy kitchen. Now to clean it all up. Rain started after 8. I did not want to get my hopes up but it was still drizzling when Sheldon arrived home after 9. He hopped in the shower then enjoyed lasagna and muffins before hitting the hay.

Little photo shoot

Renn and I snuck out of bed after her 8 am breakfast. Burps, diaper changed and few photos. She makes so many faces... all adorable of course. Then we went down to living room snuggles till K came down. I had made a fancy coffee and ate my cherries as we snuggled and started a new series called At Home with the Furys. They live quite the life. I loaded up the plants and such and headed east after 11.

Renni loves chubby bunny

A stop at Tim's for iced coffee and bagel. S text his friend Robbie stopping for a visit. I stopped at the mall but I find it a struggle to browse. I do not need anything and it seems crazy to see so much crap for sale. I tried Superstore thinking of summer end deals and food but it was packed with people too. Change of plan.. time to go home. I can buy for Renn but not myself.

Robbie had came and went and S was vacuuming dog hair from bedroom rug. I had left a plant at the gate for pick up. I boxed up dog food, put bones on to simmer and got the fiddle leaf in water. The rest was hauled in - Shaina's stuff to her room. I fed Bird who came right away and ate, yeah! Some marketing was up next. 

The Boysis family was off to a little bday party. Kaylin sent these of little miss in her party dress XOXO

The dogs and I walked the horses out to the hay field. Then checked Timba who was still in the small paddock. He still has the swelling but not happy being away from the herd now. After sending Sharon a video I went back and released him with the herd. I had given dogs bison treats. Harley required a quick bath.

S and I were both hungry so headed to town for supper after feeding dogs. Boston Pizza was supper venue. We then stopped at Amanda's for a visit before heading home. It was a lovely night for a soak in the tub. I then shared the new Fury series with S catching him up and watching some new ones.

Renn day! and sleep over

Saturday we had coffee in bed. Dogs were fed and meals made for tonight. S is in charge of dogs. After our yogurt bowl I set off for the city. I took a couple of the last rolls of sausage along too. Little miss Renn has grown even more.

Shaina stopped for a bit, put stuff in my car to take home and picked up a few things. Kaylin and Nathan cleaned the house between feedings. I got lots of snuggle time in while they did so.

I chopped their single branch fiddle leaf down and hope to propagate the top part. I also posted the dumbcane for free.

I cooked up the sausage and a pot of pasta for supper. After a top up, I put Renn in her carrier and we headed out in the 17 degree sun for a walk at 7. Kaylin and Nathan headed to Shaina’s or a house party. 

After a mile I went back and got Beans. We walked another mile then I dropped him back. 

Renn and I walked to McDonalds to get a smoothie.

Back at the condo I found a bright colorful TV show called Cocomelon. She liked it.

She then watched it in the bouncer for a bit wanting to stretch out while I bounced with one foot and wrote the blog.

2 cutie videos

K and N were back at 9 as Renn and I were snuggled on the couch. Bath time was next to start her bedtime routine. She LOVES the water. Cozy fresh jammies and a snack. Bouncy ball time. Both K and I had our turns with Nathan doing the final magical round. She was asleep by midnight.
