altivoAt least it was warmer today. Stuff is melting now.
Up early because an actual customer is coming to look and an hopefully buy fleeces. She said ten o'clock, so I made a point of getting all the barn stuff done before that. I even swept down the steps and de-cobwebbed the tack room and part of the loft where the fleeces are stored.
She showed up right on time with her husband, looked at what I had, and [gasp] bought all the remaining fleeces from this year, though she declined the ones from last year. Paid cash, too. This year's shearing costs are now canceled out.
We put up our tree. Setting it up is a minor task, as we keep the same artificial tree from year to year, and leave the lights and decorations on it. It just gets covered up and stuck up in the barn loft. The big task is decluttering the end table it goes on, which is where I sit all the rest of the year to read and/or write, so it always has a pile of books, notes, and a portable computer or two on it. (I hesitate to call them "laptops" because that will give the wrong impression. These are the old one piece Tandy/Radio Shack portable types, Model 100 and WP-3 machines. Good for just plain writing with no distractions, and I like that.)
Was going to make pizza or meat loaf for dinner, but Gary asked for chili so did that instead. We had lots of home baked bread left from his pot-luck cooking for yesterday, and I made salad with romaine, fresh apple slices, and a little shredded cheese. Dinner was good.
Should have got some spinning in today, but so far haven't done so. May still squeeze it in.
