Good Morning!
I am still catching up so you'd best grab a cuppa coffee, it's a windy one.
Most of you already know that I fell in a hole.
Wasn't my fault- But I do have the explanation now.
Yesterday afternoon, Kelli and Tim had brought the trailer over- (I'll blame them)! hehehe
While Tim parked the trailer, Kelli and I had wandered over to pick some squash.
Remember these pictures from last Spring?
A little handful of saved seeds, and a little bending...
◊◊◊◊◊◊ 
Those few little seeds I'd saved grew into a lot of beautiful squash!
Mmmmmm !!!!
The one on the left is your average store-bought Butternut Squash.
The one on the right must have found some growth hormone in that soil.
(Yes, that is a dime, almost lost, between them).
I've been picking a few of those here and there-
Even leaving some for the neighbors, in their driveway hehehe
Back to my little adventure- into the hole...
I swear on my parents graves that this hole was never there before!
A rough winter ahead? -Or is Pa smoking again?
Sure looks like a chimney up there to me?!?! hehehe
Perhaps the hole is a foxhole?
(I haven't seen any of those beasties since we saw the wolves a few years back).
Not sure, but when the ground(cover), and vines, gave way I sunk clear up to my knee!
Tim had seen the whole thing from the truck- Kelli had been picking squash.
I didn't break anything, but I was injured. (Pride being what it is). hehehe
Punk, nursing a broken heart because Mr. Miller and Miss CocoBeans did not come.
But always vigilant too
She'd heard me squeal; then heard Kelli and I laughing quite loud-
So she was off to check it out...
She didn't even have to dig!
Among those wilted, (frozen), squash vines, that dog darn near disappeared too!
She emerged with a dirty face-
It's only dirt, thank goodness. Her face did not smell of skunk. Whew. One day I'll spy something that doesn't belong, and let you know what it is that tried to kill me.
Glad I really didn't get hurt-
Kelli also found this quite entertaining-
The very picture of health, right! (And how to age gracefully)! hehehe
I'd better close for now- Went to Wouters' Front last night and ordered prime rib.
Didn't get any wash done then, so it's time for me to start emptying my hamper.
Supposed to be another beautimous Sun(ny)day, so I'll hang the old quilts on the line.
Wasn't too good for the Minnesota Twinkies yesterday -the Yanks kicked their butts.
(And our 'wunnaful' Badgers beat those Minnesota Gophers too)!
Hopeful that today our Packers can hold on to beat Washington too!
Go Pack!
What's on YOUR pumpkin?
Game is at noon, so will have lunch for halftime if anyone wants to come watch with me!
Casey will be heading to Marsha's today- A bit of help with her biology course.
Maybe they will come out after that.
Time to start attacking that hamper.
Love to all! Have a 'wunnaful' day!
XOXO
Me
Holes are holes are holes?
ReplyDeleteNot if it is the nineteenth.lol
Thank Creator that it was only your pride injured. STAY AWAY FROM HOLES. They HURT!! (end of sermon, lol)
ReplyDeleteMiss Kelli's kitty is so pretty.
That squash looks nummy!! Will you share??
Sad little face on Miss Punk. Maybe next time sweet girl.
That was a big hole!! I'm SO glad you weren't hurt any worse than you were.
I think your brace is much nicer, lol.
It's laundry day for me too. I have to take mine to town until I can get my washer fixed.
Not a sports fan so don't have an opinion on your games.
Please be careful Dear Sister.
oxox,
your snotball.
Glad you're OK.
ReplyDeletePunk looks just like my Scooter.
Squash looks great!
Lucky it was your leg and not head first , and lucky no injuries
ReplyDeleteFantastic squash!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Punk was looking for whatever it was, that pulled you down the hole ..... you've gotta watch for those man eating rabbits!!
wowee not even a sprang ankle your ruuuuuucky!! Have a great Sunday! Enjoy your game.
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxoxo
good story telling leaving nothing to the imagination with pics lol Maybe it was a fox hole .
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you weren't physically hurt in that holey incident. That pride heals faster than a bone or scrape does.
ReplyDeleteNow I gotta ask you....was that a light up Jack Daniels sign that Casey was holding? I ask this because my daughter collects the tin type replica signs and she loves the Jack Daniels advertising stuff.
Glad to hear you are ok.... looks to be fox hole sized huh>? Maybe Punkie will get some playmates!
ReplyDeleteI remember the days of having the foxes live under the corn crib and how they used to just play and play for HOURS with Miss Charlotte!
Did your BIG squash get any squash?
oh and @ Casey: LUSH Back away from the big sippy cup!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad there were no serious bodily injures. Pride heals quickly thank goodness. I'm usually the resident klutz here or used to be..Bruce is taking that title as he ages.
ReplyDeleteLooks like ya'll are having beautiful weather. We are as well but something is blooming somewhere and its really giving my allergies fits.
Be careful out there picking those great squash! I'm sure baked w/some butter and nutmeg/cinnamon those will be delicious!
Off to nap and watch football with Drew.
hehehe
ReplyDelete- - That's the same thing Tiger Woods said.
XOXO
Me
I am going to have to talk to Creator-
ReplyDelete(Seems I might be thinking on changing my mind on that statement).
I will share my squash. Come and get it.
And then whilst you are here you can clean my house.
Fair exchange, no?
hehehe
Fookin' hey! Football-
Don't worry about not having an opinion of your own- Trust me, I have got an opinion (and an extra 25 for you)!
I got so mad at the game that I went outside and mowed lawn. (Probably shouldn't have done that). But I had to do something other than watch any more of our guys go down to IR- (or any more damn yellow flags either)!
Oh! Punk hears Kelli and Tim, and just about goes through the door while it is still closed! hehehe
Nah- she wasn't that sad- But sure was interested in that hole...
XOXO
Me
I read your comment fast
ReplyDeleteFirst read said "Punk looks just like my Sister."
Too funny!
Squash is yummy yummy yummy!
(You can come too, but first I get a ride)!
Bring the Snotball.
XOXO
me
ReplyDeleteKelli would have pulled me out- Or Punk would have dug me out...
OR, failing those 2 measures, Tim could have used the come-along and winched me out...
XOXO
me
Oh thanks a lot! Now I am going to have bad dreams about 'wabbits' with forks and knives!
ReplyDeletePunk sure wanted whatever it was-
She would not have remained like that for so long if it was an old hole-
Her attention to it tells me it is, (or was very recently), used.
ugh
XOXO
me
Not feelin' so "ruuuuuucky" right now-
ReplyDeleteMajor pain kicked in about 11, and the pills are not touching it.
So I had 3 choices-
They were, 1. Watch the game -and get even more p*ssed off. @. Go the hospital for help. Or 3. Crawl on the lawnmower...
I crawled. Cut for about 3 and a half hours. (Need about 3 times that time to git'er done too).
Oh well. Lots of fresh air.
"No pain. No gain."
XOXO
me
Fox or not, I still have to fill that darn hole in! That way one can figure out right quick if it's used or not.
ReplyDeleteIf it's used, I will call my neighbor- He is a DNR man!
I am not going near it--- again. (Once was enough)!
hehehe
Can you imagine if 'whatever it was' had been on its way out- and suddenly this big old foot comes down on it? ROTF!!!
XOXO
me
I CHANGED MY MIND!
ReplyDeletehehehe
HOLeY incident- be damned!
Too funny you are today!
(You must have gotten some of Denise's synthetic pot)!
I don't remember about that sign- Maybe it was?
I will ask Casey when next we speak.
XOXO
Me
Gee, I have a very special Harley/Miller anniversary mirror- No lights- But the last I checked it was still worth about $579.00- Very unique- only a very limited edition
Does she want to buy it?
I AM NOT OK!
ReplyDeleteOK?
hehehe
(couldn't resist).
Punk does not need playmates. (I keep telling her that anyway.
She has the SputMonster, and should be happy with him... (Well, except for those little claw things).
Big Squash gets almost whatever Big Squash wants. This must include a little squash. hehehe
~ Would YOU argue with Big Squash?!?
XOXO
Me
That just sounds completely wrong...
ReplyDeletehehehe
My littlest boy LOVES squash. Send one this way. How come I have a feeling that first pic of KC and your hole incident are connected? Glad no broken stuff.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it Pea- That will be the ONLY time you will see me admit that.
hehehe
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at you watching football and napping at the same time!
(You and Peachie been hanging tight today)?!?
I giggled at Bruce too- (In defense of my own klutzy experience, that hole was completely hidden- Under vines and whatnot).
Butter (REAL, and lots of it), salt pepper and a pinch or three of brown sugar. Nothing better!
I actually got chilled as the sun was setting- but was hot enough earlier-
Oh, and if you can see my little scrolly thing on the right, I added Suamico weather to it earlier
XOXO
Me
OMG! It takes a weasel to be thinking of the correlation between KC and Jack and Alice too.
ReplyDeleteOh for your littlest might just do that-
But you will have to resend his address, I lost my documents. (They fell out).

Hahahaha; Anna I saw Casey with the Jack's and I immediately thought Oh my no wonder you fell down a hole hahaha, Casey looks so happy and well there which is fantastic :-)
ReplyDeleteThose Butternut Squash ( Butternut Pumpkin down here ) looks amazing and I love them very much. the link to Thorp was interesting once again I love your links that you provide us all.
The photo was very well taken and positioned Anna however I do hope your Pa has not taken up smoking again;
Don't feel bad that you now have a back brace Anna, we are all getting to that age where soon you may be in-line for a hip replacement :P
I hope you have a warm and comfortable Winter Anna and Casey and pets :-) 80.6 ° F here
Loved the 'Jack Daniels' photo! LOL!
ReplyDeleteFancy falling down a hole! Maybe you should start wearing those leg braces when you go walking? You could get a set to match your back brace OR one of those snazzy shiny British suits of armour?
