Gorgeous Spring Day!

Too bad I'm at work...

The blooming tree in the parking lot circle is blooming, as is the Pear tree. So lovely. Soft, cool morning. Last night was mild, too. Everybody had stayed in yesterday; it rained, heavy at times, for most of the day.

Tom turned them out when we got home and KC trotted five strides then dropped his head. Skip followed, slowly, and did the same thing. The grass grew while it rained. At dark they came in to eat their grain, then turned out again to resume eating grass.

At 9:30 pm they wanted back in, though the evening was mild with a soft breeze. I didn't plan on keeping them out all night, not just yet.

The day dawned clear and beautiful and everybody is out today, catching up on mowing that growing grass down. The latest weather forecast for Saturday says rain. That is the day the brick pavers will be delivered, too. I do have water-proof boots and an excellent rain coat from Muddy Creek (highly recommended) that I can work in. I don't mind being 'wet' if it is not cold. Setting the bricks in the sand base will not be a muddy mess, so it's all good.

Tom is also trying to get a load or two of gravel and stone dust delivered. I honestly don't know what strategy we'll use to get the stone dust where we need it to be in the barn. I'm sure it will entail lots of hand work (shovel and wheel barrow). The guy we've used in the past is not a very good driver, and I don't want him tearing up more of the store-bought stone, like last time. He is reasonably priced, but undoing what damage he's done can take so much time and energy.

Hope the weather straightens out for Monday, when the roofer is scheduled to begin work. We'll keep the bucket in the living room until then.
