[My] Life in Wisconsin

A Walk and a Drive...


   A teeny weenie beehive on the dumpster.

So now it is afternoon!
I should probably go offline one of these days. hehehe

Before I do, I must post a few pics for you...

Just a few flowers, thriving after all the rains!

Punk and I took a walk the other day.
The field hands had left their equipment, so I had to check this one out.

A long process to plant those cabbages individually. (Or even 4 at a time).

Yes, they are cabbages. (Purple and Green)!

Though cabbage disagrees with me, terribly, there comes a time that I must have it anyway; so I will be lifting a few heads! hehehe

When we got back up top, and home, Punk had to check something out.

She just kept sniffing and sniffing...
I have no idea what it was that smelled so attractive,

and then she fell in! hehehe
But in-between pictures, she fell in!


Kelli and Tim had to steal their trailer last weekend to get more work done around.


She waved at me as I walked around the corner...
(
Yikes! Maybe it was sign language)?

Kelli Waving!
Only the back of the shed knows for sure!
hehehe


We went down there the other day- Kelli was working on the horse enclosure and had seen me pull in, so she drove up to greet me-

Kelli drives out front
And yes, I got right on behind her too! (Shhh, don't tell my doctor)!


From the back vantage point (that I haven't been able to get to because of the darn mud), I snapped a rare picture-


View From the 4-Wheeler
That little puddle is deep, and it was grand fun getting through it!


Happy that I had come by, it was high time for KelliBaby to take a break!

Kelli. Taking a Break
Take a load off, Kelli!

We were out by the pond.
Miss Coco was barking her head off because I had left Punk in the car-
(Those barks may have woken Tim up)! Oops.

He let Punk out of the car, and first thing she does is grab a stick...

I'll Take This One Please

So I threw it in the pond.
(What would you have done? Same thing)! hehehe
She is a spoiled little child, and I cannot say no to her for long-



Wood is Lighter in the Water
And she fetched it too!


This went on and on- I had to find a smaller stick every time because Coco would run off with them all. (I have NO idea where she was putting them)!?

Coco "Helps" Punkin
They do play together very well.


I Got It!
Punk won that tug of war-
But only for a very short minute...


Coco takes a running jump and shoots right over Punkin.
See, Punk opens her mouth in disbelief while Coco is flying over, and loses her stick!
hehehe

(I swear)!

Hey! That was MINE!


But Punk always gets her back somehow...

Coco's Expression: Priceless
(I love the expression on Miss Coco's face as Punk shakes off)!

Meanwhile, Miss Kelli is convincing Mr. Miller that he should go in too.

Miler and Kelli- Thinking

Miller tries not to get in~between Coco and Punk.
(Mr Miller is very very bright)!

But shortly, there comes a time that he cannot resist either!

Miller
HAHAHA!     "Go Miller!"

No matter who is in the pond, Punk loves every minute of it!


Punk Loves the Pond

And we love watching them too!
Punk does need watching- For some reason she has a problem keeping her hindquarters going in the water- Must be those hips of hers, but sometimes she scares me too-

It is to be 85 to 90 this weekend- Methinks we shall be going down the road once or twice to throw the dog (and a stick or two) in.
(Hopefully Kelli and Tim will be home too). hehehe

I hope too that all is well in your little corner of the world!
Casey will be coming out shortly and I must get my butt in gear.

My love to all.  Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

XOXO

Casey Update- And Her New Friend

Casey, waiting for the doctor...



Good Morning All;
When we went to the clinic for Casey's exam for her pain, she had a few things going on.
1st, after all those infusions, her blood counts are only up to 7.3.

2nd, with those blood tests they checked her blood sugar too. (Remember, she does not take insulin).
Her blood sugar was at 50. Those islet cells sure are working very well. Odd though as she'd had a Mountain Dew for her migraine at that point in time.
They gave her an option of "Grape or Orange?"
She chose grape and had to eat 6 big sugar pills to bring it up (before she fell over).

While waiting for everything, she did make a new friend...

This is Fred.  (Whom she promptly goosed).

Casey gooses Fred

Fred was not real amenable to such a loose and forward young woman-

Fred, reading KC's chart note
and had to check her records first...
hehehe

Love to all!

  • Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

  • Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

  • A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

  • Words that soak into your ears are whispered-
    • never yelled.

  • Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

  • Forgive your enemies-
    • it messes up their heads. hehehe

  • Don't corner somethin' you know is meaner than you.

  • It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

  • You can't unsay a cruel word.

  • The best sermons are lived not preached.

  • Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

  • Don't judge folks by their relatives.

  • Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

  • Live a good and honorable life.
    • Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

  • Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.

  • Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain Dance.

  • If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

  • Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

  • The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

  • Good judgment comes from experience-
    • and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

  • Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

  • If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

  • Don't pick a fight with an old man.
    • (If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you).

  • Always drink upstream from the herd.

Special thanks to my wunnaful KelliBaby!
It sure sounds as though Pa could have written this...

"
Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none"
Many of you knew me LONG before I started blogging. Most have known me for most of my words on 360 and here...

A few days ago, Maidens blog had begun as some laughable words she'd taken from her FaceBook, and later on turned into me offering the following:
"You are welcome to snoop as long as you wish. And it's funny, because I was never ever even slightly political in my life.
That is to say I always voted in a very informed manner, but I never would have blogged about it- Not until my Casey got so sick- (has been for almost 6 years now too).
Then came the healthcare debate. The rest, they say, is history."


But that one line
so close to my heart (and highlighted above), sums up completely why I have added my politics to my page.  If it applies to humans in America it is important enough to write (and even rant) about.
We are ALL humans first.

Now what's your favorite?   -Why?

XOXO

PS
Yes that is my dad in the photo!
