Ch ch ch changes….
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Today’s sunny weather had me craving Spring something fierce. I can’t wait to go work in the garden and get walking again.
I have hopes of making some rather large changes to the yard and garden this year. The pond is going to have to go, I can’t do the upkeep alone, there were some things The Curmudgeon could do easier than I can and he can do them no longer. Know anyone in PA who wants some lovely, large Koi? Have them contact me.
I’m hoping to install new stronger, dog-proof fencing between the yards, across the front, and down the alley side. I want my poor dogs able to run and play in their yard without me having to hold them on a leash every time they go out.
So far here’s what my Spring looks like:
- Re-home Koi and fill in pond
- Find a fencing company
- Build raised planting beds and patio with pergola
Looks like I’ll be keeping a certain landscaping company in the money and working my buns off to boot.
You all have a good one!

EEG is over now we wait…and wait…and wait
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I always wish test results were instant. I hate waiting for them. We probably won’t know anything for at least a week.
The Curmudgeon could not get home fast enough after they removed all the wires and glue-like crap. He’d not showered for three days–this is a man who showers at least once a day. It took three scrubbings for him to get most of the stuff out of his hair.
He has three patches on his face where the ‘glue’ took off skin. He’s not thrilled. I’m disappointed that he wouldn’t let me get a picture of him in his scarf and fancy gauze covered wire braid. He has no sense of humor sometimes.
You all have a good one.
You don’z hab a scarf on, we knowz you now!

Update on what’s going on with The Curmudgeon this week.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
The Curmudgeon is having an ambulatory EEG done. This will take three days. Yesterday began in the very early morning with them attaching wires to his head that run down a sleeve into a machine strapped on his waist. A microphone is hooked to his shirt.
He must wear the microphone all the time and use it for a long list of events, such as eating, brushing his teeth, going to sleep, waking up, taking meds, etc.
He has a list of do and do not things too. Day one is over, he’s gone to bed, and can’t wait for day three to be here and gone. He is not a happy camper. He’s complained about the wires, the kerchief on his head, and everything having to do with this.
You all have a good one.

More of the Fairy Tale
Posted by doggonedmysteries
His eyes glowed with tears unshed. “The Dwarf Council arranged to have a car loaded with explosives blown up at the entrance to the tunnel. They had warning signs posted so dwarves would never dig there again. Now centuries later, it must be that man has found the tunnel and released the creature once again. My people have burdened me with the task of destroying it before he takes more dwarves. They have no concern over men; they want only that I avenge the deaths of our own. Come back with him dead or never come home again. That is what they told me. I know of no way to kill a rock troll. Now, tell me your story.”
“There’s not much to tell other than he stole my younger sister from her bed and my older sister he grabbed while she pursued him. It is on me to get them back.”
Cragger lit a pipe and took a long drag on it. He blew it out in a large cloud. “I’ve tracked him here. He seems to like these ruins.”
“Will you help me? I will give you the means to kill him if you help me save my sisters.”
“You’ve a way to kill him?”
“Yes. I will show you if you promise me your help.”

Double whammy on its way
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We have 6 to 10 inches of snow predicted with this double whammy storm coming through. As I wrote this line in an E-mail I thought it might make a good opening for today’s post.
I am NOT looking forward to a large amount of snow. The Curmudgeon and the dogs aren’t either. We have had enough. Winter can end any time now.
I’ve blessed my snow shoveler AJ from AJ Wildflowers every time she’s cleared our walks. I am so glad we found her.
I think today calls for plenty of hot coffee, warm snuggly clothes, and 65 lb dogs on laps. The evening should consist of a stick the ribs sort of dinner and a glass of wine before bed.
You all have a good one, stay warm and safe!

I wish I’d said…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
How many times has that gone through your head? Had a fight with someone and an hour later a brilliant riposte comes to mind…dang it… too little, too late.
Thinking of my baby sister and things I wish I’d said to her before she died. Too late now.
Telling my mother I loved her once again…wasn’t allowed to talk to her so that would be too late again.
Thanking a dear friend for being my friend…he’s gone now…too late.
Yes, there are many things I wish I’d said that I can’t say now…
Here’s one I can say to a certain few people…even though you do not deserve it… I forgive you.
You all have a good one and be kind to each other.

No more snow…please?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
So, we had snow again. I can’t tell you how tired of grey skies I am. Yesterday, no sun and snow off and on all day. Looks like we’ll have this fine snow all night–I’m typing this in the wee hours of the a.m.
The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday says sun, that will be nice! I’ve missed the sun. Even so, having sun doesn’t mean warm. The predicted temperatures for both days are 37 and 34 degrees Fahrenheit respectively. I’d rather have 30 to 40 degrees more.
Yes, I am looking forward to Spring. I usually am by this time of year because I am not a fan of snow, ice, and cold.
You all have a good one!
