Hadjo gets a new sweatshirt, Al gets a little more peace of mind.

Hey, check this out--I actually started and finished a project in the same afternoon!  Bella, I'm embarrassed to admit, is a bit of a bully at feeding time and has been harassing poor Al Capony while he's minding his own business in his stall.  It seems the 5-foot stock panel between them isn't tall enough to keep Ms. Giraffe Neck out of trouble, so I had to make an extension.  I used 1.5" PVC pipe, which is lightweight but strong enough to stand up to her curiosity.  It won't hold up to a determined assault, but she's pretty good at respecting visual barriers so it has worked like a charm so far.



I may look a little drunk in this picture, but I assure you I wasn't.



Seems to do the trick.

Now everyone can eat in peace.

Hadjo knows he's supposed to stay on the other side of the gate,

But he hates it when I talk nice to the horses!

Yesterday Hadjo's new sweatshirt came, finally!  The temperatures have been hovering between 55 and 65, so my little wiener dog has been shivering for a couple weeks.  His old sweater finally disintegrated and it's been a real challenge finding a new one that fits him.  This one is--ahem--a bit tight, but will keep him warm enough to get through the fall weather.  Now that I know this company's size range, I'll order him a slightly larger sweater for the winter months.

I feel so much better!

Better get back to work.  It's been raining for the last 7 days straight, so I've been working on the little 9x8 foot bedroom that will house my office and the smaller loom.  The bottom of each wall is painted now; next I'll put up the wallpaper I bought five years ago for the office I never finished in North Carolina.  Maybe I'll have better luck with this one!
