...I'll just make what got blown away twice yesterday a post!
First up... neener neener neener to most of you (though there are some who no doubt have views just as kewl or kewler...)
This is the view from the bedroom doors in the morning, out here at the Castle.
For those so inclined, a larger pic can be had here.
This last weekend was spent mostly in the barn, though there was some outside work, with SWWBO pulling fenceposts and learning to use the tractor.
The reason for all this is that the Destriers of Argghhh!, who have lived the last 10 years in the old Quartermaster Stables at Fort Leavenworth, were due at the new demesne on Sunday, lest we have to pay for another month... Good trade for them. They're going into larger stalls, and instead of getting to go to a 3 acre pasture with 30 other horses every other day... they have 40 acres of wood and pasture, which they will eventually share with about 20 horses, as we allow friends to pasture their horses out at the Castle.
So, SWWBO has been working on her stalls, with me as muscle when needed, and the two young men, Major and Andrew, who are helping out at the Castle in exchange for pasturage, helped us get the post holes dug for the stalls. The poles are set, and SWWBO will finish out the stalls this week. All of this labor has been supervised by the Barn Cat of Argghhh!, Sergeant S'mudge.
The Destriers of Argghhh! are in their temporary lodging, the Round Pen, seen here with dawn starting to brighten the eastern horizon yesterday morning. If you look close - you can see Willy and Petey in there.
The Gun Vault of Argghhh! is coming along - but that will be a different post.
