Things Are Not Always What They Seem

 

Sputty, protesting the windows being open all night.
I did not tuck the poor thing in either,
I don't have to, he does this all by himself.

Good Evening;
Like a wee baby, I seem to have my days and nights all mixed up.
I awoke at 10~ish last night, and stayed up. I did nap for 2 hours this afternoon, so perhaps I can get this day/night thing back to 'normal'. hehehe (I hate using that word because I never know what 'n0rmal' is supposed to be to begin with).

I left all my windows open last night in the hopes that maybe I could keep it cooler inside today. I closed them about 6 this morning as the temperatures began to rise. I believe our high here was 84 or 85. Talk about a shock! Tomorrow is to be decent though- and again they have promised a bit of rain.

Hard to believe we need it, especially when the disk is 4" deep in mud in some parts of the field. This postpones planting these 20 acres 'til when?

Casey came out today, and after a bit of walking around in search of new blooms, she went straight to work.

First the blooms...
.

..
.

.
Then the work she did...
.
.
.

.
.

Say what you will, I say it's a darn fine thing that she has had her little surgeries and is once again capable of doing her fair share.
All kidding aside, this was an irresistible photo op.

.

The crab apple tree is in bloom also. And after the trimming it had a year and a half ago, methinks it looks like some pink and purple two~headed troll.

My own old crab tree seemingly pales in comparison to what Miss Micki has written on Baby Mariahs Caring Bridge Site CLICK FOR HER SITE
"The crab apple trees next to Mariah’s grave in the cemetery have bloomed and they are just gorgeous! I tried to take a picture but pictures really don’t capture the beauty of it at all. The flowers are pink and there’s just enough shade to have a picnic underneath. We purchased the tree next to Mariah’s grave so that we can hang anything on it we wish to. There will eventually be a plaque underneath it that will represent the Klein Family."
*Micki, if you stop by to read this, please know that I read your blogs. I have updated my info on Caring Bridge a while back and it worked for a time... Now I keep trying to comment and it won't work. As always, I do send my heart & love to your whole family.

I also took this picture from my bedroom window- Peeking through the yews are the tulips that I had waited ever so long for. They are now almost wilted and done for yet another year.

Wednesday today, and I brought the garbage dumpster out just before sunrise.

(I also collected my mail that had been waiting for me since Saturday).
sigh... Somebody MUST have stolen that Publisher ClearingHouse Check.
.
.
.

Do you see the quarter moon peeking through the blossoms?
Centered. Almost. About an inch or so down.

.
.
I went out to the pumphouse and dragged Punks little pool out. I tried to fill it, but the water leaked out.

(Will have to fix it with my Gorilla Tape when I find the leak).

She had enough water in there to get her paws wet to about 2", and thought it grand enough!
.
.
.

I love her little smiles!

(And I shall fix that looming rain gutter as soon as my back permits).
.

And yes, Punk found herself tied up for a while...

When we had been in the house there was a new cat out on the front lawn. She damn near had jumped through the window to get to it.

She remained tied until Casey and I determined that the cat was gone.
.
.
For those of you keeping up, or wanting to, this was on the news. Kelli called to tell me to turn the news on tonight

Woman Found Dead in Oconto County Fire Was Murdered
Updated: May 20, 2009 04:49 PM
Authorities in Oconto County say a woman found dead in a house fire near Pulaski last week was murdered before the fire was set.

Trust me when I say this, no one wanted to be wrong about my intuitions more than myself. By now you all know that I have a tendency to call a spade a spade...

I also shoot from the hip- (both literally and figuratively).

I know that I have offended at least one of you by stating how I felt about this all before the coroner had released this today. My apologies for that.

As of the 6 o'clock news no one is in custody. Oconto County is notoriously slow or absent with their arrest records, (or at least that was my own experience when my daughter was raped and almost bled to death). Idiots.

Time will tell how they handle her murder, and the arson that followed.

When we have children, we want and choose to raise them in a way that we feel to be safe, secure, and away from the dark-spirited people of the world. Moving from the townhouses in Ashwaubenon to being way out in the country in Pulaski seemed a wonderful relocation for us all, and most especially for my girls.

Things are not always what they seem.

My love to all.

XOXO
Anne
