Barrel Rolls and Muddy Paws

Barrel Rolls and Muddy Paws

I have one lonely lilac bush left.
But am ever SO happy that this one has lived!

.

Good Morning All;
A busy day yesterday for almost everyone... (I mostly just watched)!
hehehe
But yes, my back is being very belligerent and uncooperative today.
Must have done a little more yesterday than I did the day before...

Randy came to help "find" the lawns ~and to trim a few trees too...
All I had to do was point to those branches!
(And yes, that's about the ONLY perk to this back of mine)...

The pear tree, ready to split, topple and die, needed much trimming. But I want to preserve a lot of ot too, until the young tree that came up next to it starts to produce.

First you climb the tree and start to saw...

.

.

.

.

Then you saw from another angle...
or risk leaving too much of your DNA on the tree...

.

.

.

.

Almost all the way through ~and the branch still won't budge.

.

.

What would YOU do ???

.

.

How about a couple of karate chops???

.

.

Careful now.

.

.

Don't laugh...

.

.

.

.

It worked!!!
hehehe

.

.

After realizing the my old burn barrel was stuffed to the brim, I had to get the replacement one out...
(OK, OK, so Randy dug it out of the shed, and Casey rolled it down the hill).

.

.

Dogs?
NO help there...
Like me, they just watched!

.

.

Methinks she was having way too much fun!!!

.

.

Done with the barrel, she became "SPEARCHUCKER"!!!!

.

.

Now that's a nasty game of "Fetch"
!!!

.

.

But NO problem for The Punkmeister either!
(Yes, her paw/leg/shoulder is much better)...

.

.

But not even a great tug~of~war,
~nor fetch,
~nor playing with her ball
~nor wrestling with Mama Milly, etc
was enough for her...

.
Or maybe she was just overheated???

.

.

She found the big puddle while we were busy elsewhere.

.

.

.

.

And was MORE than pleased with herself...

.
Darn good thing I have the hose hooked up already...
(And a bit of Dawn detergent too)...

.

Casey does keep reminding her that she is NOT a Black Lab!
hehehe

.

.

Time for me to fly.
I have taken my Xanax and am going to try to get to the store by myself.
(I got away with making a pot of soup yesterday, but am setting my sights for a bit of lasagna today).
Mmm!

I hope you all have a 'wunnaful' Sunday!

Love to all!

XOXO,
Anne
