While we were at it, one of the most used things on this property is, believe it or not, the riding arena. There were a lot of boards that needed replacing, and we replaced 45 out of 90 and one post, but with lumber and steel prices skyrocketing during the pandemic, I hope to replace the other 45 boards in the near future. I also plan on staining/weatherproofing the new boards, adding solar fairy lights and eventually adding some type of shade to the arena, may be in the form of sail shades – but of course I’ll get pics of the project once it’s ongoing.
As for the gardens, I’ve decided that we will have a minimal vegetable garden this year with all that’s going on here, and I’ll still put together my fairy garden when the weather warms for planting. As for TV streaming, I’ve slowed a bit this month with the work here. It’s hard to watch more than an hour or so of TV before I’m too exhausted from working all day. I am back to my normal reading again, with the immediate stress of the horses safety now straightened out, things are getting back to a new normal. Until next month... Other good news, I will be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of April, with my first appointment on April 2, three days before my birthday. A welcome gift.
My recipe this month is a my famous Hearty Stuffed Manicotti. My daughter asks for this recipe a few times a year and I finally got busy and made it. I hope you’ll share if you make any of the recipes I share. ©Copyright 2021 Cyrene Olson www.uncagedbooks.com Cyrene@UncagedBooks.com Issue 57 | April 2021 |
