It was 35 degrees celcius today with a humidity warning and smog alert. I didn't dig today but everyone was just baking outside, all the chickens, the ducks, dogs, and the horses were all blah.

Okay... Just a little update on the fencing front here.

This is what I've done in 2 days, this area is about 250ft long (only half the field...) and there is also the start of the field fencing dividing up 2 paddocks in this picture too (if you look careful about halfway down the line of fencing I've put up is some strange looking fencing... thats where it extends out into the field to divide the field).

I still have about 25 posts to dig in by hand up at the top of the field, and the riding ring will have to be dug by hand but so far so good!

Hello Lupin ....We just came back from the cottage up in your area and i noticed there is alot of buck fencing in your area ..one big pile of rock over there I'd say.....by the way thanks for the information on the tack stores ....went to the one in Peterbourogh...spelled wrong :/...Nice people there ...bought my daughter a Xmas gift (she looks over my shoulder sometimes so I cannot say)and also bought her some cute riding pants and some a cell phone holder/water bottle holder for my saddle......and on our way back we stopped at the one close to the 401 on lovely under construction highway 62 with the billions of lovely little stones.....daughter bought gloves and a book on showing and I bought a "horn bag" for the saddle to put stuff in ....thanks again ...

:D Buck fencing is very popular here, although most often you see it done with wire instead of nails. I thought nailing it would make it a bit safer, and sturdier :)
