Parker Meets Mystery Guest

Parker Meets Mystery Guest

Last night Parker Muttley wanted out really bad. He never wants out, he just goes out when some other dog or cat goes. Flicking on the porch light I look to see if there’s a wild animal on the porch. Habit. Nothing. Out he goes, beyond the porch light and hiss, slash, rustle, rustle Parker starts yelping like he has lost a limb. With speed I never knew she had, Gracie Dane is out the door and falling off the porch, rolling, rolling, and rolls right up onto her feet. Nothing gets to mess...

That Gracie Face

Update on Gracie Dane. She had a bad fall a week ago. I thought she really broke something, but she struggled to stand and trotted off. She has been after Parker to play today. Parker is a bit afraid to since I am shooing him out of Gracie’s way constantly… he thinks he will get into trouble. So he keeps running away from her and coming over to me with questioning looks. Not ready to trust it all just yet. Gracie wanting to play is a good sign! Weeee!  I am guessing she weighs 100-105 lbs...

Messy Edges + Smile Freebie

Great Day! Sun was out and I didn’t need to haul hose to keep the plants alive. Rosie sent some rain down from her place overnight and the roof didn’t blow off! I am grinning like a fool!  Pork Chop Pond is coming along. Wet clay soil is sticky and a challenge to work with, its rained on and off for about 4 days, but when its dry its hard as a rock, so what-cha gonna do? We are getting there. I am wondering now if its going to be big enough? HOOT! These are Monday’s pics when the storms...

Roses Busting Out!

Roses Busting Out!

  We took advantage of great weather to rip all the dead morning glory vines from the Don Juan Rose Bush. It sailed through the winter and after 2 years since transplant its starting to invade the driveway clearance with its long trailing habit. We tied up some of its branches. Something it should be too soon for.  The smaller  Peachy-Pink Rose ( foreground, no name we know of) got the treatment too. Its still in the planter, but instead of the one sickly branch it started...

( imagine me pulling them each horizontal while they try to hold onto the bed posts) So Jack and...

Just 4 Mom

Good Morning ALL! Life is good! Yet, full of decisions, so far Jack and I have made decisions with my health to take this easy and slow. Still I wake up some mornings with bones that moved in the night and muscles that are angry about it. X-rays from yesterday show fluid now in both lungs and a declining capacity, probably as a direct result of all the laying down I am doing. ( taking things easy and slow) SO we are switching our concern away from the seemingly urgent matters of angry muscles...
