Good Morning !!!!

Here are some flowers for you!  (Today a daffodil;  tomorrow a dandelion)???

Having gotten a new belt for my rider, (and having NO idea how to put it on since the old one had turned into a "tail" of sorts behind the tractor), I called one of the neighbors who came and did it for me...
Removing the deck, (missing only one retaining bar, and quickly redoing it), it was done within half an hour! Back in business then before daylight disappeared, at least I got some of the lawns cut- along with one ditch... Relieved that this much is done, and will save me hours today when I finally do get outside. Have weedwacking to do also- (but that will keep as long as I want it to)! hehehe

Am waiting to hear back from Froedtert Hospital- (FINALLY, right)! Yesterday morning I had dropped off letters to her regular doctor, and one to the hospital doctor too.  (For my confession today, I will only say that I was none too gracious when her regular doctor finally called me). I told him how very long we have been waiting,  how much pain has passed in the meanwhile, and how many times we have tried to make contact. The clinic then finally called yesterday afternoon and gave me the Froedtert number anyway. The gal down there is trying to get Casey an appointment ASAP... Hope. Hope. Hope.

When I had just begun to cut grass, a car pulled into the yard- One of my prospective "parents" wanting to know could they take their little one out for a few hours? Of course!  They named her "Sadie"- They returned just as I had gotten the rest of them ready for their evening sleep- Just in time for a late dinner for the pup, and off to sleep she went too. They told me they had a grand time, and no little accidents of any kind, not even a drool on the car ride!
I am so very proud of these puppies!

One little one has already gone to her new home- "Jessie" now lives in Sturgeon Bay, finding herself a most wonderful and loving home! I shall have to call the 'parents' there and just find out how everything is going. They already have had her in to get checked out by their vet too-
Meanwhile, Miss Milly has shown no signs of trying to search for the missing little dog- (neither did she show signs of looking for the one that went off for her little 'visitation' last night).
Our Milly still has a bit of a fever, but after a few days of being away from the kids, (only being put together to nurse 3X day); she is looking not as peaked as she did on Sunday even... A good sign that every little bit of relief is helping her out.

Such is life on the farm today! A breezy, sunny, and warm day- Perhaps nice enough to get whole bunches of work done!

Have a great one--- one for me too!

XOXO,
Anne
