Good Morning Everyone!
I have been gently reminded that I have not blogged in a few days... My apologies, but truth be known I have been outside more often than not; enjoying the melting snow, (and even a few little sprouts that have decided to come up too).
Mostly weeds, but as long as they are green it doesn't matter to me!

I am still trying to dry out the old garage floor. I have shoveled the chipped ice, (I have even salted the floors)! And have been running the fan out there every day... Since there is no open southern exposure it is a long task with only 40 degree temperatures to be melting it all. I did have to chisel a little river through the ice, and it worked great, even after getting over an inch of rain on Monday!!!
Bad boys:
I see that my 'boys' have done a bit of damage between last fall and yesterday. Last September, Greg had done a bunch of weedwhacking... Taking out 3 of my baby lilacs, and even whacking off the antennae lead behind the house...
Casey claims he is crazy with that trimmer of his and we should be careful that he doesn't whack the whole house down!
hehehe
In shoveling snow around Christmastime from in front of the garage, Rick had also killed off one more of the little lilacs... Maybe they might still grow; (?) ~they are the last of the bunch from Ginny Ryan that had originally come from Mama in the first place.
At this point in time, I have only one more that has survived.
(Leave the poor thing the heII alone boys)!
A few little repairs. And one I hope won't spook any birds away either.
The wind had wiggled this box enough that the roof had actually come apart. A bit of hot glue, (I hope) will do the trick...

Poor little bird house...

Casey and I also moved three wagonloads of wood chips to the driveway; which was more mud than anything else in some spots.
With Casey not feeling up to par, it does her a world of good to at least be able to get outside and move around a bit if nothing else.
Her EUS is scheduled for the 15th of this month down at Froedtert. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of this all for her. And while you hate to have anything bad show up, this has been a world of hurt for her and we want something fixable that will show us all what is wrong. The ultrasound should do this for her... Pray.
Not too sure if they will keep her overnight or not for this procedure.
And back to more 'playing' outside... Miss Milly was particularly unsociable after playing fetch with Punk and I for a while; and was already back in her kennel...
.

(Methinks it should be harder to blow away now)!
Do we really have to wonder why she gets them stuck in places
where they obviously do not belong?
.

A walk around my garden plot only showed me that it has to be tilled up to be ready for a seed or two...
.

And we wait only for it all to dry up a bit...
I hope you are all having a "wunnaful" week!! 
Love to all!
XOXO

Oh, and before I 'disremember'... This little tidbit came across my monitor a few days back...
disremember • \dis-rih-MEM-ber\ • verb
: means to forget
Example sentence:
"'It was the British who did it,' I said quickly. 'I disremember the place and time....'" (E.L. Doctorow, Loon Lake)
Did you know?
English has been depending upon the word "forget" since before the 12th century, but in 1805 a new rival appeared in print -- "disremember."
A critic in 1869 called "disremember" both "obsolete" and "a low vulgarism," and later grammarians have agreed; it has been labeled "provincial and archaic."
In 1970 Harry Shaw opined that "disremember" was "an illiteracy," adding, "never use this word in standard English." (By 1975, Shaw amended his opinion to "this word is dialectal rather than illiterate.")
"Forget" is indeed a vastly more popular word, but "disremember" still turns up occasionally, often in dialectal or humorous contexts.
I say we bring it back!
How can this very cool word be overlooked for so long???
Obsolete?
Low vulgarity?
I think not. It's too poetic to be "dissed" like this.
