453 - sidewalks finally!!

Day 453 was a fabulous day, right and early around 8 the cement truck arrived and the sidewalks went in. The girls and I planned to go riding in a new trail riding area so began packing up. However once we checked the rain gauge for 4/10 from last night's quick rain we saw destruction in the garden. I had to spend some TLC here pruning and stringing up my tomato cages. Kaylin did another wedding today. not sure if I wrote she had one 2 w/e's ago but she has been fairly busy.

 the wind took it out on the top grafted dwarf lilac too
the cut in the joints and began the top layer to expose the rocks just as we were leaving

By 1:30 we pulled out and made the trek. The temps in Kananaskis country were only around 24 but it seems the heavy load and hills caused the truck to over heat so we stopped alongside the road for 20 minutes before continuing on. The gentleman who helped answer my question was correct saying our destination was just over the hill. At 3:30 we pulled in, unloaded horses and backed into our campsite!

We saddled up and ventured off on a 2 hour ride fording the river and being the target of many photos and waves. back at camp we roasted smokies and smores and played cards while listening to our neighbor play guitar. Think we all turned in around 12:30.
