Just an ordinary day

Yep just an ordinary day, catch the horse, take off grazing mask, put on halter , say something nice to your horse briefly mention the words glue and factory , so she knows you mean business if she doesn't go in, load the horse, open gate drive through, close gate drive to town,park truck unload horse, walk into vets clinic. Hand her over and watch. Yep first things first a little sumpin, sumpin for my sweetie to relax ! Wait a little bit then onto the power tools . Gotta keep those pearly whites in good order! See that large rope that is to winch her head up so he can work. Cause she is so drugged she can't hold her head up! That was just part of the fun oh no! We didn't even get outta there before the special ferrier put the princesses new very expensive new corrective shoes on her feet! And now she is home wearing her new shoes, feeling like a pampered ol lady who has been to town and woke up with a sparkling smile, and new shoes!

Farm house

I have been searching long and hard for a special place to house our cd collection. They were in the library, then I decided to put the CD player in the living room. I know I know I should be digital but I'll say it again. I'm illiterate when it comes to tech stuff . Any way my friend who is downsizing have me this bookshelf for the shop. I was trying to deside what to do with it it has a few slight dents ect.. It's very narrow. Then BOOM I knew exactly where it should live. Farm house eclectic living room. Balances out very well the heavy oak and leaded glass book case on the other side of the window. Our tv is resting on a vintage stereo/ record player that looks and works like brand new! Ok now I'm thinking of reworking the new book shelf to hold a bit of vinyl as well! Oh yes and let's not forget a good pic of horses in the yard just for fun!!!

House tour

I've seen a few doll house blogs lately. So cute so fun. So when my friend gave me a tour of hers from when she was at a time in her life that she did it instead of therapy ( we've all been there) . I for sure wanted to share it. You just can't believe the detail. There is even a family portrait of her family!

One out building cleaned out 4 more to go

Ok well ye old outhouse is cleaned out! And yes land scaped as much as possible. She sits right next to the garden and pool. So naturally she is now used for garden tools and pool supplies! Enjoy the before and afters. We got some much needed rain last night. I  so thankful for this blessing.

Ye old outhouse

Today I am doing all the things I love puttering in the garden around the house , and fixing a dinner for my parents! It's my birthday ! I love this side of the hill looking good over here! 

For many years this little building has been sitting neglected. Well no more. I've planted so many perinnials in my from garden to no avail. Too much shade I think . So on to sunnier locals. I'll show you the afters later.

Business on the farm

Wow what a busy time spring is! We have been dealing with laminitis with one of our horses. The good news is vet says she is responding very well to her meds and they have worked their magic ( the vet) on her feet! Was very traumatic in the beginning but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Chicks! We are going to try again! Lord help us all. We have purchased a 10x10 dog kennel to house them. We will have to electrify it! But it might be our solution. I don't know how people have kept chickens for so long. Preditory coon have been our demise in the past . 

So school is out. It's Memorial Day week end we are trying to play catch up with grass mowing, gardening, pool opening general clean up ect. But last night we had our first little fire in the pit and watched the sun set. Today we slept in and are taking a bike ride in a small town kinda close by. What's the point in working so hard if you don't take a little time to enjoy life? Good thing the days are longer! Enjoy your week end!

Cold and rainy day

It's Friday one of my days off. It again is a cold and rainy day. I am loving it. I've lived through 2 major droughts recently in my life. Enough to remember how horrible it was . I see daily on the news about the drought in the western half of our country. Devistating. I know that today I am having a day that they so desperately hope and long for. So while folks in this part of the country are ready for warmth and sunshine. I am enjoying this day to the fullist . A comfy spot on the sofa  with the pups. Next to the big window. Where I can see nothing but green! Weeds and all. I've only planted part of my garden. This year I am planting tons of sunflowers along the picket fence. The fence I will be painting when the sun shines again. While I miss the llamas terribly, I will be able to have some new plants around the fence that they would have eaten if they were still here. 

I am getting ready for the shop being open this week end again. Trying to not stress out over it. I'm reading one of my favorite books ( again ). I derive something from it new every time. So I will putter around today, here at the house clean off the desk ( dumping area) . Laundry and cleaning. Always there . Run some arrands. But for now I'll have a cup of coffee, enjoy the company and warmth of sleepy doggies, and a good book. Loving the extra shades of green out my window! 

Yep everyday sacred. Just like the book says! Enjoy your week end friends!
