Good Afternoon...
There are a few places in the grass, still damp from morning, so am going to write a few words-


Then maybe out to mow.



It is a beautiful day, as I wait for Casey to come out for a bit.
She starts back at UWGB tomorrow, and I couldn't be prouder!

Sue and Glenn were here already- Earlier this morning, to collect the fallen apples and pears.
Always so much fun with those two around!

I was told by someone, who shall remain nameless, that perhaps I should clarify my answers to my last blog- ESPECIALLY those 'answers' that involve whiskey. hehehe
I do NOT drink. 
Not that I didn't many moons ago, quitting one night that I "forgot"...
I promise I do not have whiskey for breakfast. Too funny you guys are!

Stopped at Kelli's the other day...
(She has been having a rough time with the birds and the bees lately).

♥  Oh wait... I mean the nettles and the bees.  ♥

A week ago, on SATurday, she was working in the pasture, fixing the fencing etc.
At one point, she had stooped down, and even through her pants got nettles on her backside.








.

Nettles!
(Which of course "yours truly" found quite hysterical). 
Kelli, not so much).

.
.
I went down there for a while, trying my damndest to keep a straight face, (and to show her a little compASSion too).

.
.

 

Aw,
Well, ain't she sweet?!

.
.
Remember when Tim and kelli had gotten their new dog? Little Miss Coco?
Kelli has had her hands full between all else, but has gotten her trained quite well.

And it was high time for Punk and Coco to meet, nose to nose...
(Tim was still at work)..
.
.
.
.

Brave girl that Miss Kelli is!

It did get a mite loud for a bit hehehe

But all's well that ends well.
I had made some Italian Spaghetti that day- And had brought her some.

The picture of serenity as I pulled out of the yard...

This past Sunday, her and Tim had gone to get a load of hay for the horses.
She gets it from her boss.  He wasn't home, so they began to load bales onto the trailer.

She pulled out a bale. They were there to get a whole load. This one was only about the 12th~bale.

And it was that dang split-second of WTH before realizing she had upset a wasp nest, one~third the size of that bale!!!

Dropping the bale, and flailing her arms, she ran right past Tim- (who hadn't a clue what was happening 'til she finally found her voice).

Having NEVER been stung IN HER LIFE before, Tim took her over to the garden area, and began to cover her welts with mud.
She'd gotten stung over a dozen times. Head to toe.  I brought her down some benedryl pills, and some sudafed too.

She is alright.
No worse for the wear, but she knows exactly why I yell, "a bee!" when I see one now.  I was never like that before I became allergic to them either.
Now we both hollering like that.

Kelli came over the other night, bringing both dogs, Miller and Coco.

Casey took Coco's leash and was teaching Coco how to walk like a real lady! hehehe


.
.
.

Coco, very young and quite bright caught on pretty well too!

.
.
She would stop and sit pretty for Casey...

.
.

 

Ok.
Well MOST of the time anyway...

.
.
.

 

Finally!
Some slack in the leash!

.
.
Punk had run on ahead from us "slow pokes"...
And every now and then would turn to see if we really WERE coming along...
.
.

 

Cute little girl...

.
.
And finally we made it back to the woods...
.
.

 
Take a real good look at the picture...
I am patient, I'll wait.

.
.

Punk suddenly begins to suffer from something or another, barking very loud.
And absolutely meaning it too!

.

.

 "Wait a darn minute!" she barked.
"What is that "THING" in the sky?"
?!?

.
.
.
.

 

Always ready to "protect" us all, she was off in a flash!

HAHAHA !!!!

.
.
.
Back she'd come after a minute or two-
(Convinced she'd done right by us and scared him off)...
.
.
.

And away he goes!

.
.
We took a few moments to allow the poor pup to catch her breath. I offered to take a picture of Kelli and her dogs by the Black Eyed Susans back there.
.
.

 

But too much sunlight still- to even see them behind Miss Coco
Sorry...

Kelli had offered to take the Rendezvous in for its necessary oil change.  The garage will come right to her work and pick the cars up, returning them when they are done. No extra charge either, and all done while she is at work!


But there comes a weensy little problem when it comes time for her to take my car.
Miller could not get into the rear area. When I had taken him anywhere, that one rear seat had been removed to accommodate our hotel/hospital things. I have since put it back in...

.
.

.

Fortunately Kelli's back works a far cry better than my own.

It's been a grand week so far... Hope it is for you too!

Perfect timing too, as Casey has just gotten back from having her car looked at.


Love to all
