I accomplished absolutely nothing yesterday…again.
Ever have one of those days where you pop out of bed all eager and ready to embrace the day and get things done? Yeah, I don’t either.
I don’t know about you but I tend to look at the clock, roll over, and try to get ‘a few more minutes’ in. If I’m lucky, those few more minutes turn into maybe a half hour and some good dreaming. I’m seldom lucky.
Normally, I hear The Curmudgeon fussing at the dogs or moaning and groaning about heaven knows what on the TV. That will definitely make you want to roll over and squeeze out a few minutes or hours of more sleep.
When I do drag my over-tired, over-stressed corpse out of bed, I try to put off going downstairs a while longer by doing some Yoga. I somehow miss out on finding Nirvana though…If you ever do find it let me know what it was like.
You all have a good one!
Today is Patty’s 9th Birthday.
Since she was a rescue dog, we’ll never know for certain when Patty was born, but today was the day we chose for her. She’s our April fool. I should say, she’s her Daddy’s April fool. As far as she’s concerned I am the alpha but her heart belongs to him.
Happy Birthday Patty. Holy cow, you are now nine!
Interesting birds showed up yesterday
I was rather surprised to see two downy woodpeckers and a lovely little nuthatch had decided that our tulip poplar needed an inspection. This was the best shot I could get from the kitchen window.
You all have a good one!
She almost broke her brother…
I had Gavin and Patty out in the yard yesterday and they were enjoying this new freedom they have with the new fence. Patty especially enjoys it, she loves to run flat-out around and around the entire yard.
Well, she was doing one of her flat-out runs when I noticed she was heading directly for me and Gavin who was sniffing about the grass near my feet. Gavin, oblivious to her impending collision, kept at his sniffing.
I, on the other hand, quick to surmise impending doom, dashed to one side to escape catastrophe. Patty failed to swerve the last-minute, as one of her predecessors was wont to do, and tried to leap over Gavin.
As you can see, I said ‘tried,’ the attempt was unsuccessful she hit him with her knees on the way over and almost went ass over tin cups. The sound of the impact made me cringe. Gavin uttered not a peep. While I asked Patty if she was trying to break her brother.
Gavin headed inside. I don’t blame him. The yard would also seem less fun to me if I’d been freight trained. I called Patty in from yet another high-speed circuit of the yard.
Opening the kitchen door to let both dogs in, I couldn’t suppress my giggles as I hollered to The Curmudgeon that his baby girl had tried to break her brother.
You all have a good one!
Let’s play!
Lately, every evening around seven, these two nuts start playing. Most of the time that includes hucklebutts and Patty making leg grabs while Gavin tries to wrestle with her.
Never a dull moment around here.
You all have a good one!
Want
Gavin here. Daddy was snacking on nanner chips again. Patty and I tried to mooch some. The Curmudgeon finally gave in and gave us some! Yay!
More changes
Sometime in the late 1980’s, The Curmudgeon dug the hole for our pond. He used a pick and shovel to do it.
It was summer, so my mother was visiting us. She would sit outside, watch him work, and cheer him on.
When we bought the liner, pumps, filters, and our lovely Pan fountain, Mother insisted on buying the waterfall. She so looked forward to seeing the finished pond.
We worked all summer to get it finished and before she left to go back to Texas, we had it done. For years afterwards she loved to sit out by the pond and watch the fish.
My baby sister loved to sit by the pond too. When she visited we would spend as much time in the yard as we could.
With the change of the water feature in our yard the memories of them enjoying my pond will not fade. We’ll be creating new memories.
You all have a good one!
Joke for today…The Dress.
A mother-in-law stopped by unannounced at her
son’s house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in and she
was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch totally naked.
Soft music was playing and the aroma of perfume filled the room.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m waiting for Mike to come home from work,” the daughter-in-law answered.
“But you’re naked!” the mother-in-law exclaimed.
“This is my love dress,” the daughter-in-law explained.
“Love dress? But you’re naked!”
“Mike loves me and wants me to wear this dress,” she explained. It
excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress he instantly
becomes romantic and ravages me for hours on end. He can’t get enough of
me”
The mother-in-law left. When she got home she undressed,
showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a romantic
CD, and lay on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive.
Finally her husband came home. He walked in and saw her lying there so provocatively. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“This is my love dress,” she whispered sensually.
“Needs ironing,” he said. “What’s for dinner?
He never heard the gunshot.
You all have a good one and keep on laughing!
