389 - flex friday fun

Day 389 was a overcast day with occasional bouts of sun. The house slept in of course since no school or work for any of us. Sheldon and I were up at 10 preparing for the day while the girls were lucky to be up by 11:30.

flowers for Shaina's grad, so pretty mini roses

Shaina headed out to scoop manure from the skinny pen and Britt joined soon after. Sheldon loaded up the old freezer for horse waterer and the old "free moldy" fridge along with the cardboard and trash and was off to the dump then brought a load of gravel for the front planters home.

Around 12:30 Brandon came out and brought me a chai tea... bonus points for the young lad :-) Shaina made grilled cheese for her, Brandon and her Dad while Britt made her own earlier. Then they headed out and finished scooping the skinny pen. It sure looks much nicer.

At 1 Sheldon headed to Airdrie to Cam Clark to get a long awaited credit on an overcharge (they cannot do without the actual card.. is this 2012?) then to expocrete to get the last load of landscape bricks. At the ranch I finished planting the raised garden beds. Matt stopped to borrow the skid steer for a couple hours then it was back for the girls to fill in the pasture with Britt at the helm.

At 3 Shaina headed to work and Brandon home. Britt was finishing packing for the trip. She leaves at 4 am tomorrow morning!

Sheldon arrived home around 4 with the bricks and after a refreshing drink finished putting the barbeque together after I helped him put up on the deck.

then it was time to wash bid D after another roll in the fresh horse poop! I whomped up supper during this time creating creamed chicken, pasta, Shaina's famous cauliflower and roast sweet potatoes while updating the blog.

After supper I went out and raked horse manure from various places and cleaned up the shards of my bird bath the horses trashed in the winter. After a nap, Sheldon hauled a couple loads of manure to the pit and returned with some top soil to fill the low area by the road at the house. Matt stopped to fill the skid steer with gas and a quick visit.

Shaina worked till 9 then had a scavenger hunt grad party and stayed in town at Kaylin's overnight. Britt was not feeling well so drugged her up and sent her to bed at 10 for her early morning trip.
