Hiya Darlin'!
Despite going to bed early again last night, it was well after 8:00 when I woke up this morning, even though I almost slept through the night! Guess my room-darkening drapes are doing their job! I felt completely well and refreshed, though, which is a good thing! David dropped off the little gas chainsaw while I was having breakfast, so it wasn't long before I was out the getting to work. Took me awhile to get it started, but once I did, off I went! I cleared out the wooden pens on the east side as much as I could, did a little burn of the small stuff, cut a bunch off the big tree that was still in the back yard, all into firepit size logs, which I stacked next to another stack of firewood that looks like it's been sitting there for years! No shortage of firewood for visiting campers, that's for sure! The good news, not a single long board on the pens have broken! The only broken board was a face-plate on a corner. Those parts of the fence came down because the posts shifted from the weight of the trees coming down on them. It should be a fairly simple matter to manhandle the posts back into place, shore them up, and re-screw the boards back in, I'll just need a little brawny help to finish it off. I quit just after 3:00, but certainly got in a full day of exercise. Speaking of exercise, a couple of hours later, I heard Flash running around the paddock and watched him running and jumping for about five minutes! This is what happens when we don't go riding for ten days! I'm going to have to take him out tomorrow, for sure! Settled down for dinner and a movie, took a long hot shower early, hoping to get to bed early, too. I don't think I'll have any trouble sleeping tonight after all the physical labor I put in today. At least, I hope so! Anyway, a quick Spanish lesson, my cup of Sleepytime tea, then off to bed with me! Supposed to get quite chilly tonight, down to the mid-forties! Fireplace is on! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
