Got most of the back pasture fence done today. Also hung a new door on the house, the old one was a wreck and held shut with a bungee cord most of the winter until I could get at it. It was a nice bungee cord but still...

New decks front, side and back are the next upgrade this summer. Maybe new steel on roof too. Plus a coat of stain on the house. In my spare time. :roll:

Horses got out finally for a what I thought would be a romp around the pasture; nope. Barely got out of the corral, heads down and eating grass. Had to chase them to get them to run up the hill. :) They will get out tomorrow for another short time as well. Try to get them out for 30 minutes a day for a week or so. Can't take in rich spring grass too fast or they will founder. Moderation until they are used to it again.

I can relate. I should romp around the pasture a whole lot more than I do or want to. Unfortunately, I don't have RR to to chase me up that hill. ;)

More fence to do on Saturday. This morning I put a coat of stain on the west wall of the house (log siding). That wall takes a beating from the rain, snow, wind, snow, dust, snow, sun, snow....
