A Whole Lot of Words, and a Few Little Weeds!

 

A few flowers for your Tuesday...

"Poppies... Poppies... Poppies!"

.
.
Good Morning All;
I know it is Tuesday, but ten thoughts? That seems either too limiting, or too much today.

(Not sure which yet)...

My migraine has passed for a few days already; and I almost feel human! As they say: "At first I was afraid I was going to die; then I was afraid that I wasn't."

Brain boil now... I can't seem to gather a coherent thought for some time. Perhaps the back that 'gets' me with my body and arms in this position, or whatever.
Know I am tired of it.
Casey and I seem to have the same affliction; only she writes right through it! And does a 'wunnaful' job I might add... Most of you already know that she "broke her record" of not visiting the ER. She has blogged about it.
Click for her blog.

I believe I am going to try to type right through it too. (Wish me luck)! hehehe

I am sad as I watch my yard, my garden and all fall to weeds and whatnot. There is some "whatnot" that has come up that I don't even know what it is- Maybe one or two of you can help?

.
.

The poppy I know. 

"Poppies... Poppies... Poppies!"
The weeds I know too
But what are the little purple flowers
that are growing where once my Danver carrots thrived?

.
.

Another little weed here...

.
.

Baby Sam!
He crawls, even walks with help, and is 11 months old.
Daddy Chuck sent these pictures via his camera phone.
Thank you Daddy~Chuck!

.
.
As you may/may not know, Roberta has also lost custody of Sam-
Gabriel is in foster care His foster parents really wanting to adopt him, (but so darn much red tape).
I pray it will go through for them, mostly for Master Gabriel to have a whole family, and to never worry about if Mama loves him...
.
.

Little Sam with Grandpa!
Growing like a weed, wouldn't you say?!

.
.
And I have one more weed too!

Many people do not realize the value of the milkweed. (Aka Joe Pye). As these come up in Spring I always save a few plants for the Monarchs.
Jenne found one the other day, barely bigger than picture wire-
In just 2 days it has quadrupled its size, and is heading for its snack in this shot...
.
.

.
.
Since I have been unable to even weed whack, the weeds by the pumphouse and old calf pen are growing slipshod all over.

They are now tall enough to hide a small dog.

.
.

So maybe she is a large dog...
hehehe

.
.
Silly dog "grazes" too...
.
.

But gets miffed when she gets caught...
Lucky for me, she does not regurgitate the grass!

.
.
Kelli and Tim have a new pup-
A kind of rescue dog, as she lived with hardly any fun, and very little food. (I believe that most of what she got, she found herself).
Sad, that.
.
.

.
.
She is about 9 months old-
A chocolate lab, (and I think she may have a bit of 'pit' in her too).
Kelli said she reminds her much of my Miss Milly- In that she is still so full of sweetness even though her past might not have been so kind.

As a side, Mr. Miller is getting much more exercise too!
.
.

Kelli brought him along when she came to help get my window A/C in

.
.
Thank you so much my sweet KelliBaby! It is quite livable in here!
.

.

They (our infamous weather people), claim we could be in the 90's today...

Um. Wait...
/
"Could?"

.
.

.
.

Yes, the thermometer is on the north side of the house-
(Yes, I took that picture in the afternoon).

My lawns need mowing- I assure you that is NOT going to happen today. My shaggy grass will just have to wait a few more days. Too bad. hehehe

.
.

Somebody oughta slap a pool there, don't you think?

.
.
Oh -wait again...

Somebody did slap a pool there!

.
.

.
.
OK- So we had to get a liner for under it too.
The little instruction book claimed that the pool will kill the grass under it.

What? You didn't hear me say "too bad" already? hehehe

Before H2O, Jennifer inflated the top ring...

.
.

A minor leak in the ring...
(Will just have to start chewing gum)?!

.
.
Meanwhile, Casey worked on the pump aspect...
.
.

.
.
And Miss Punk watched from the 'safety' of the shade...

.
.

(She hates any kind of plastic "scritching" noise)...

.
.
Still, all hell broke loose when the hose was brought out...

Seems these young 'uns didn't care one whit that the temp of my well water is 42° year 'round.
.
.

Nor did it matter that there were only a few inches of water at that point.
.
.

.

.
.
She will be needing her own little kids pool-
(Even chewing gum won't help her paws~n~claws)!
.
.

But until then, we will just take our chances.

.

.
.

Dog with TWO tails???
And NO head?!?!

.
.
.

Jenne might have told me where the camera should go...
hehehe

.

.

Punk didn't care where the camera was...

.
.
About a total of 4 hours of water. The lady down in Appleton where we got the pool said it took them a day and a half to get it full. (All I can say is that Appleton water must have low low pressure)...
Another 4-6 hours, this baby would be completely filled. Not sure if we will do that or not-
.
.

.

I am thinking this will be more than deep enough for a 4 year old.
I do not wish to take any chances.

.
.
Kelli stopped by to see the progress too.
.

.

.
.
...And Punk was p*ssed she couldn't go in yesterday.
.
.

.
.

And Sputty?

Methinks Sputnik is terrified that someone might throw him in too!

hehehe

.
.

As he was taken to hiding under an old chair last night...

.
.
So you see, not is all sad- Just my yard, my garden, & my weeds.
...And if I keep my eyes closed outside, then all will be well. (I think)?

Hope all is well in your little corner of the world!

Stay safe. Stay cool!

Love to all!

XOXO
Me
