My treasures

Sunday when I should have been relaxing, I decided it was time to make the green tomato mincemeat- especially since the person who gave me her grandma's recipe was staying the weekend with us, as she and her husband came down to help with the auction. We made and canned 10 quarts, and it turned out really well.

As promised, here are the photos of the items I bought -

the barnboard cupboard that I put in my tack room,($20!)

and the hall table, which is in my office (also $20!)- I still have to clean and oil it.

The farrier was here today to do the mares. Chickory has apparently gotten over her big pout and is her sweet self again. She has really nice feet. Velvet is a Diva -in her own mind- and fussed a bit, but she is slowly improving. She seems to think that she doesn't hafta hold her foot up that long, don'tcha know!

The snow is slowly creeping down the mountains towards the valley, but I hope it holds off for a bit. My friends in Alberta and Saskatchewan are getting blasted with a breath of ole man winter though.
