Work Pays Off!


This is the view from my front porch of my project from yesterday, and what is soon to be my new outdoor riding arena! We've been on the John Deere for several days non stop, bush hogging, grading, picking up stumps and logs and junk...

The property is starting to shape up, and I'm quickly realizing just how SANDY the soil is out here! There's actually a section on the south side of my lot that I am having a hard time getting the tractor through, it's almost like trying to grade the Dunes State Park or something. Good thing is, it's where the prospective barn is going to go, so that'll be good for drainage and everything else that goes along with horses and barns...

I'm really excited to get this project kicked off, because when May, June, and July hit, it's going to be wedding extraordinaire. Today we're having the Schnicks over for corned beef and cabbage... which I cook every year but didn't get around to on actual St.Patrick's day. Therefore, we're having a delayed celebration and are gonna let the kids play and stuff. I imagine Lee and I will get into the wine, at least a little :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Stand by for some B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L weather next week! Yay! So stoked for spring!!!
