Saturday, April 2, 2022 – Busy Day Puttering

Hey Sweetheart!
Another hot night, never got below about 75 degrees in my bedroom despite having a fan on all night. Did sleep pretty well, though. Been getting up around the same time these days, about 7:30 or so. Did my morning chores and had breakfast, then headed out to finish putting staples in all the new boards in the paddocks that got skipped on the work day, plus a whole bunch more staples on old boards that had lost them. Fixed the screen room, most of my clamps had loosen up with all the wind we’ve been having the last few days, so I tightened those all back up. Mended one of the horses’ fly masks, it had gotten ripped and needed fixing. Put my solar panel away, since I don’t need it now that I have a little electricity. Spent a good part of the afternoon working on the trail map, doing some final modifications, though I still have at least one more trail I need to confirm, which I might do tomorrow on Apollo, since it’s not that long and he needs the exercise, plus it’s supposed to be cooler. I spent all day waiting for this huge front to come in, and the radar looked ominous around 4:30, so I went ahead and fed the horses early. I felt two drops of rain just as I was finishing up, congratulating myself for timing it perfectly, only to have the entire front disappear before it arrived! Not a drop of rain, though it looked like a wall of water coming this way! It put itself back together to the east of us, and they got plenty of rain, but it just split around us, darn it! Finally settled down for the evening, grilled myself a nice little piece of chicken, and started watching the latest season of Heartland. Got a lot done, a nice productive day, ready for shower and bed! I’m FINALLY hearing a bit of rain outside, hope it last awhile, we need it desperately !Good night, darlin’! Love you!
