Good Morning All;

Sorry that I have been MIA.
Busy.
Tired.
And still fighting the jackass that kicked me in the back last month.
(Hmmm...Are any of those acceptable copouts)?
My apologies.

Kelli came Tuesday with Mr. Miller... We walked all three dogs back to the woods. (Or maybe they walked us)? Either way, they have so much fun! As we do too.
Punk finally over her fear of going back down the cliff. And I wonder if she runs down with her eyes closed now? Once at the bottom the fool dog jumps in the river. It is high, and she wasn't expecting it to be. A bit harder then to climb back out. Kelli and I were on our way down- She had been struggling to climb out, but had Mama Milly there to help her too. Not sure how she got out, just that she was fine by the time Kelli and I got down there.
Oh the water must be SO cold! But it didn't keep The Punk out for long either. She seemed to love it; and was back in a more shallow part soon after.
The river is quite high around the bend with all the snow/rain/snow/rain that we have been getting.

Much more shallow here
Punk still in the river!
Miller very soggy too!

.

.

And God only knows where Miss Milly had taken off to...
But she always burns us and disappears.
Miller and Punk stay with us though.

.

.

We saw a few odd things...
Not the least of which was...
.
.
I can only assume that the hunter missed?
And why do I picture the squirrel in that one commercial
that laughs when the car goes in the ditch?
hehehe

.

.

An old dead tree, long since blown over by a storm, covered our path.
I tossed it over the side of the cliff.
.
.
Punk thought it was the best game of fetch ever!!!
But she did give up trying pretty quick too!

.

.

Up at the homestead, I have been working diligently to get the water out of the garage. Slowly but surely I am seeing more and more dry floor too.

.

.

Ignore the mess of boxes...
Just more rummage to get sorted and sold.

.

Casey and I have both been working at getting the wood chip loads disbursed too. The end of the main driveway is finally built up. The 2nd driveway still has to be leveled off and covered. When these are done, we can use the leftover chips for mulching.

I am waiting for my back pill to kick in...
Having gone in again this afternoon because it simply hurt too much, even with the pills I had been given on the 14th of last month. At that point just figuring that I must have pulled a muscle...
The Dr has told me that I probably have a stress fracture. Remember my foot last September? Same thing I guess. Not fun at any rate. And the fact that it keeps getting progressively worse really stinks too.
Damnable jackass...
The new Xray machine at the clinic will not be in for 3 weeks, so until then I am SO grounded. (And probably much longer too).
HUGE SIGH
I hate this feeling.
Worse yet are my thoughts-
How will I be--
** Mowing my lawns?
** Planting my garden?
** Digging out the septic?
*** etc etc etc... ??
Yes, I take calcium, minerals and vitamins religiously.

Casey will need to be in Milwaukee next week; already I am dreading the drive down to Froedtert. She has pain tonight in the left side of her ribcage, but the Drs have assured her that this is not another collapse.

I am SO tempted just to keep posting the picture of my Morton salt.

It is raining now- One to three inches of water are possible and predicted.
And it is very very windy too. The rain being pelted onto the windows and the side of the house. The Punk is a bit upset by all of that noise. She keeps waking; with a bit of a growl in her throat.
And no, I am NOT going to look in the basement.
(Til after I wake that is)...

I hope you all have a fine Friday ~and a warm and "wunnaful" weekend!

Love to all.

XOXO,
Anne
