[My] Life in Wisconsin

70's. And October!



Good Morning Everyone;
Boy, it's been a long time since I have written a blog; and once again I am not sure I remember how.
Wait! It is one of those things, like riding a bike -and other things, that you don't forget... 
hehehe

Not much news to write home about-
Save for two, Casey had all of her teeth removed 2½ weeks ago-

Casey

Too cute she is!
She still has 4 weeks before the surgeons will even do her new impressions.
She had felt SO down about that- Me too, (I was jealous). hehehe
But her surgeon told her, IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, (and almost nose~to~nose to drive his point home), that she could have had a dentist following her around these years and her teeth still would have died from the inside out as her pancreas wreaked its damage throughout her body.

We have now learned that her pancreas had been 'going' years before we thought- and years before it had gotten so very bad... When the body is sick, it 'takes' from other parts to maintain survival.
Her nasty pancreas had also digested the roots of her teeth, little by little-

Mal-absorption being only one of the worst things she is dealing with.
She is back on her diabetes meds too, both insulins, until her body recovers from the surgical shock; and can also heal from the godawful infection that had plagued her for the past 2+ months.
She texted me this morning around 3- Said that both herself and Greg are dealing with some 'tummy troubles'. That's all she needs, right. She had offered to drop by, but I told her that it's probably better if she doesn't.
"This too shall pass."
Besides, my anxiety attacks have come back with a vengeance! Grrr...
I had done so well for so long...
*sigh* 
Even as I sit here typing I am shaking all over.
And no, I am not cold.

I mowed lawns yesterday-
Nice to be outside in October and work up a sweat too. (That is not normal for us). 
But it sure makes me happy! It is almost sinful to be on the inside.
Our weather has been absolutely "WUNNAFUL"! And should remain so -at least through the weekend. Or so they say.
Generally by now we have had snow- ugh- It makes me want to jump up and dance that we haven't had any yet. PLUS, it is in the 70's! Whoo~Hoo!

These little guys are even still around!

Though I know it can't, I wish it could stay that way.
Not looking forward to Winter. I never do. But then there is always Spring!

Some trees have turned, some are hanging on to their green leaves still. Odd to see that also.

Anyway, I am proud that I got the lawns done. (Better said, "as done as I could"). Looks SO much better than before.
JoAnne and Jim came and mowed a few weeks back- Thank God for neighbors that just help out, and you don't even have to ask!
The part that hadn't been cut in over a month was a challenge though; especially to my back.  That part was never leveled off right (after the barn was taken down)- I went over that part twice- and it still needs to be gone over again! Most likely I will try to do that on Friday -

Master Gabriel turned 6 on the first! Oh, how time flies!
He and his sisters go to school full time now- A nice break for Miss Kristin, Provided she doesn't have any younger fosters. Such a great family that he has found!

As you have seen, every now and then my camera will still take a picture-

This is looking across the field... At sunset

Watching my deer eat their dinner!
Sorry so fuzzy. (Picture was taken from about 20 acres away).
I love to watch them.


Two weeks ago Sunday was a bikers rally. Many of these runs go right by my place. Kind of cool that.
After her first few years, Punk generally pays them no never mind- But this past week she surely did.
Of a sudden, she is barking out the window, her fur raised on her back-
This is what she had seen...
One of the bikes had broken down right down the road. I kept hearing them speed up and go over the hill; not knowing why they had slowed to begin with.


Broken down bikes.
They were there about 45 minutes, then on their way again!

Like me.
It is high time to get a move on for the day.
Hope all is well with everyone...   Have a 'wunnaful' Wednesday!

My love to all

XOXO
Me
