So Sunday we added dirt to the arena, We also ripped up our rock-hard footing. It looked like broken up concrete for several passes, but it improved as we went. Monday I had my first lessons in it. Sunny was a bit zoomy with Olivia, but they worked through it nicely. I think we have the footing to blame as Ruby was cantering around too ( Read more... )

I spent almost two hours today in the garden hacking at Bermuda grass and harvesting beets and carrots.

The star was this beet:

Yesterday started late. I hung out with the boys until about 9:30 when I loaded up the trailer and headed off to get Bud. I also loaded up Appy because she was past due to go to the groomers. I had trimmed her a little between and also gave her a bath Sunday, but they have the good stuff that really cleans up the eye goopies and do a good job of ( Read more... )

So the house passed yesterday and we're clear to get the ball rolling with SRP for power. They'll be having an inspection tomorrow and if all goes well we get on the waiting list to receive power. We have to wait on the window, but we're going to move on the punch list and get the drywall dings and other things tuned up and ready to go ( Read more... )

I also had riding lessons packed in pretty good during the week so I was working of some type or another six to nine hours depending on the day. I was pretty ( Read more... )

Things have really been rolling with both Lemyes and Kashian. Sray's story is evolving slowly and "Shifting Times" is finalky getting some new pages written. I'm also digging into backstory and finally figuring some things out. Most of my Kashian files haven't been opened in over two years, some longer ( Read more... )

This past week they got the doors on and most of the trim done. The French door was a painful experience that required a planer and may atill require more work. Two of the incorrect doors were taken back and new ones delivered, but uninstalled. Stucco is done and we've been watering the house so it doesn't crack, which is an amusing undertaking.

The doors almost arrived Wednesday, but the drywallers were just starting to texture so the door guy left saying he's come back later, which turned out to be yesterday morning. The front door is beautiful with a lovely, large oval window in it. The outside master door is wrong, but it is correct on the paperwork so someone in the warehouse must ( Read more... )

It sucks when we run out of alfalfa and bermuda at the same time ( Read more... )
