To post, or not to post? That is the question. I have been humming-n-hawing. Nothing major to share or horsie happenings to blog about. I still haven't ridden, or done anything more then be bed-n-breakfast staff for our horses *sniff* I think the next time someone asks me if I ride, I'll reply "I used to"...it's been that long.
We've been doing other horse related things, here are a few updates from our bed-n-breakfast staff:
 |
front barn truss is looking nice,
it is getting trimmed with Douglas Fir |
 |
we hung a dry erase/bulletin board in the barn
wish I could find where I packed my push-pins,
to hang Nemo's allergy shot calendar! |
Our builder moved our little table set off the porch, so he could work on the overhang truss. We like where he placed it! Unfortunately it's our planned turn-out path during the winter, so it will be in the way. However once we find more suitable seating for the barn porch, the set might stay there seasonally. I'm thinking the porch needs some type of outdoor bench? For now, we are using a lot of what we had from our old place. Everywhere.

| reclaimed wood mirror for the barn bathroom arrived |
The craftsmanship on this mirror is amazing! Just like the vanity. I should have also snapped a pic of the back, it's finished off solid & studded. Perspective of my phone photos are way off, mirror is larger then below. I received a certificate of authenticity with the mirror and mentioned my plans to hang the certificate in our bathroom. Do you know what the guy that built these did? He offered to make a frame for me at no cost, if I would pay shipping. Yes, please!!! Who does this?! The frame arrived all finished, complete with another certificate. Nothing short of amazing. I truly appreciate people who take pride in their work.

welcome sign from our old house
hangs on the saloon entrance for now
I think I'll eventually move it, it's not very saloony.
Watch out for our guard grand dog, she might lick you to death. |

Our horses seemed unfazed
when Bobcat Brad mowed the upper pasture near them.. |
 |
until it turned into a game of "race the bobcat" lol
(koda in the lead, nemo, harmony) |
Video goes something like this:
Harmony: why are you boys running, it's just a bobcat
Koda: first dibs on the hay! Last one is um, last
Harmony: dumb boys, I could out run either of you any day of the week
Nemo: my pile
Koda: fine, I'm going by Harmony, move over
 |
Brad set a few more poles yesterday,
replaced the turnout gate with a wider one and also added a new latch.
(the old gate is off to the left) |
This pretty much sums up our past two horse related weeks. Brad was so busy last week with work stuff, he cancelled his lessons and didn't go ride Cierra. He is back at it this week.
I miss her, Cierra is so sweet and Harmony could sure use a buddy. Koda & Nemo have been together since birth, born one day apart. Our trio mixes it up, and they hang out together - but Harmony does appear to be the third wheel.
Soon it will be time to change my clothes, bring the horses in with the other staff, feed the horses supper and make sure they find their accommodations acceptable.
Signed, bed-n-breakfast staff
