Good Evening Everyone;
A long day for me... "resting".
I am beginning to hate that word. (Especially as I watch my grass wave in the breeze).

A bit of catching up to do. Bear with me, I am a little behind...


Casey came out Thursday afternoon. We took a ride to Brandy and Johns. I had wanted to see her goats for the longest time, and never availed myself.

Brandy is laid off from Carver Boat. She has worked there forever- The layoffs affecting so many people.
(But with that, I knew she would be home).

Miss Ashley met us almost as soon as we'd pulled in. Such a beautiful smile she has, and showed me one of her little bunnies too.

As we walked out to the pasture, the animals all came to see us.
(Well, some of them did).

CUTE!

Miss Ashley decided to pull a few handfuls of grass and dandelions.

They absolutely LOVED it!

Salad for goats!
Who knew?!?

Dinner by the handful! hehehe

The sheep in the back (left) seemed so fat-
I asked Brandy is that one was expecting?
No- She just hadn't been sheared yet.

514 Chicken

Even the chickens are very tame!

(A far cry from visiting our Hortonville friends as youngsters,
wreaking havoc in the henhouse as we'd chase their chickens).

John had just returned from a Veterans vacation/retreat up north at Lake Tomahawk. John is Marine Corps, Vietnam. S
alute.

He had many pictures of the cabins and amenities at Tomahawk to share with us.

Then they brought out "TOES" the kitten.

He would not hold still for love or money,
But if you look closely you will see his paws are like mittens.
He has extra split toes on each front paw!
So very cute-
And calico too! (My very favorite).

Brandy took us to show off her pigs.

She has many medium size ones...
(Sorry, but I didn't take pictures of them all).

hehehe

Casey and I came back home; and to add to our day, we found this little guy right in the garage- For some reason, they cannot find their way out, even when the darn door is up. They come in, and think they can fly out the window.
I got out to show him the way...

Casey had her hands full keeping Punk from coming straight through the dashboard to 'save' me as I caught it and brought it outside. (Otherwise we would have a picture of a "bird in the hand").
hehehe

I got out of the car to offer a bit of guidance...

For now, I must go find a bit of supper, my tummy is growling to rival the dog!

I hope everyone had a "wunnaful" weekend!
Have a good night
Love to all.

XOXO

Flintville. Sunday Morning.

Good Morning Everyone;
Not sure about your backyard, but mine was a bit nippy this AM. (Am hoping that this will be the last day of the season that the furnace feels the need to kick on). Going to have to jack up the weatherman and tell him that it's past the middle of May...

For those of you that are keeping up, there is no further news yet on the on the Jaworski Rd. fire, and the gals death. It still sickens me though, my own thoughts about what might have happened.
Years back I had to get a restraining order against them; (he, his previous dame, and even her kids were all included). The judge had no problems granting it. Long story there.

Of course it means nothing when compared with this loss of life. I hope Madison returns all those results quickly so we can all see how silly/stupid/paranoid I have been about this all.

My back is still pretty fookin' raunchy; and so, I have been busy stagnating. (Doctors orders ya know). Suffice to say I am not amused.


I was, however, very amused by Casey and Jenny Mella yesterday.

hehehe
(That's Jenny's sock).

They basically cleaned my house!
(Even "finding" the tables and the floors).
Thank you SO much!
.

*Jenny was even attacked by a mouse!

I will blog about that all later today, and promise to post many more pictures too.

I have had a rough time posting this morning- (See the PS). Am going to go lie down once more. Am tired and sore, and sleep didn't come well last night.

Hope all is well in your little corner of the world!
My love to all! Have a Sun(ny)Day!

XOXO
Me

PS
Now who the hecks brilliant idea was it to put the copy/paste keys right next to each other?

If one hits the 'v' instead of the 'c' your entire entry just disappears.
Grrr...
