Watered the porch pots.

Refilled the hummingbird feeders as needed.

Re-drilled the holes in the shutters to 5/16" to accomodate the new fasteners. Then started re-drilling the holes in the stone to a depth of 2.25"

Made a butter cake w/milk chocolate frosting for dessert tonight.

Primed & painted 3 window valence frames for Mrs. Ranch's new window treatments.

Fed the cattle.

Went to pick up 1 case of frozen pierogies that finally arrived.

We spent the afternoon sitting on the porch drinking margaritas & watching the hummingbirds swirl all around us. Life is good sometimes.

We spent another afternoon sitting on the porch drinking margaritas & watching the hummingbirds. The temperatures have been good for doing that...

Plowed through it kinda.

Same here. Clumps of grass everywhere, LOL!!! It got away from me due to the rain, but it could have been worse.

I don't miss working & neither will you. Hang in there, the light is at the end of the tunnel!!!

Fed the cattle.

Continued drilling the stone for the re-installation of the shutters. Most of the holes today were into rocks with a high quartz content so I only got 1 pair up.

Refilled the hummingbird feeders.

After looking at the 10 day forecast, I decided to cut the grass ahead of the rain.

Refilled the hummingbird feeders.

Watered the porch pots & hanging baskets.

Fed the cattle.

Prepped the smoker for the ribs. They're now on over post oak & apple wood coals running 230 degrees. I'll throw on some baked potatoes later & Mrs. Ranch is making brussel sprouts from the last fall's garden.
