ask a man to clean the barn!!!!!

With the driving clinic just days away... I had it in my mind that the barn has to be in A1 order!!! NOT that it's in bad shape... our horses haven't even lived there for a year.. and I'm in it everyday, fussing over one thing or another...

But it is a barn.. and they do get dusty, have cobwebs.. and well... Mr. Guinea hen isn't the neatest creature in the world... so there were some things that needed some attention. I also figure that if you really stay on it, then it will never be a huge job to do.

And true to his nature... my hubby never does anything "half well"... Ed fired up his presser washer and began to go over the entire barn!!!!

He did an amazing job, and this evening when we brought the horses in.. the barn looks as good as it did the very first night that they lived there.....

I spent the better part of the day in the tack room.. sorting thru things... weeding out!!! (I am determined NOT to be a pack rat in this new home!!!) I still have some things to finish up tomorrow, but now I feel like everything is really in it's place, and even came across some of those items that "I know I have that...but where is it?" I re-arranged some things, and feel that the "flow" of the room is better....got to live with it a bit and see if I really do like it.

Sadie was gone this morning, helping out the dog club with their little dog show. When she returned, she said she would give Mocha (who is still shedding up a storm!!!) a good grooming...

ya, Sadie... it really looks like you're grooming here

Ah... Tatter... you might need to watch your butt!!!!!

OK... so she did help tonite bedding down the nice clean stalls!!!! (note, the bare feet!!!)

I hate to think that next Saturday evening we will be half way thru our weekend... so, I won't... and will just concentrate on the "before".....
