Everything Hurts

Saturday was a very nice spring day. I took all the puppies for several walks around the property. The snow has almost vanished, but in some places there is still a little to walk around. There are a couple 2 foot snow drifts from plowing in the driveway.

Isabelle is trustworthy to stay off the leash, but I put leads on Bravo, Angus & Harriet. We walked down to see Greg several times at the shop. The final walk found us at the end of the drive just in time to see our friends Joanie & Chachi. They had come back from rock-hounding over in Washington state. Got some very pretty rocks (stored in the floor of their back seat). Instead of taking their truck, they took their car- a Rav4- to conserve on gas; so Joanie will have to clean out the car before work on Monday. The rocks were all covered with a fine white powder which had settled all over their car. Oh, well. We have dog hair all over our truck!

Hubby worked late in the shop as he had lots to do. He has accumulated quite a hunk of cash in order to a/buy another truck (or trade for it) and b/get a new tubing bender. There are people coming out of the woodwork with projects for him to do. $$$

Sunday was our clean-up-the-yard day. There was quite a mess from snow plowing - so we had to pick up rocks, throw away broken Christmas decorations, take down Christmas lights, put away extension cords (over 100 cords), pick up dog poop, pick up garbage on the highway in front of the property, put out our benches & picnic table & fire-pit chairs.

However, we ran out of time and were unable to put up the security camera for the shop or the new automated gates for the entrance.

I had a chance to vacuum a little, clean up the dog beds, & do a little spring-cleaning laundry.

We also dropped off his white truck at Earl's Mobile Service to have it updated for the 5th wheel towing. Earl said that he would have it done by Monday.

After hubby rests for a bit, he will install my new vintage claw-foot tub faucet with sprayer. Since we have so many dogs - I need the sprayer for bathing them!

I made raisin/oatmeal cookies for the pups & hubby.
