What Memorial Day Means to Me…
Memorial Day isn’t the day that starts summer, nor is it the day that gives me an excuse to head to the lake to drink like a fool. Memorial Day is the one day that we, as a country, actually stop to think about our freedom. It’s the one day that, as a whole, we appreciate those who gave their lives and sacrificed their futures so that we could have one. Many never made it home while others did, but let us not forget what they ultimately gave. Their lives. I’m thankful for all soldiers, nurses, families and lives from past and present wars and those who pick up the…

I Want One! Just One!
I know it’s obvious I have obsessions, and one of my biggest ones would be Elephants, but they’re such precious creatures! They experience like we do, and they get happy and sad and they have friends.. I want to be a friend. lol. I just had to post this picture that Cliff sent me. It made me smile. We’re going to Omaha, NE next month and we’re going to go to the zoo. It’s apparently the biggest one in the world. In THE world! They also claim to be ranked number 1, which has me very excited! I’ve been to the Steve Erwin Zoo in Australia and that one was…

Nelson’s Pot
Nelson pretty much did whatever it is Nelson wanted to do. However, he never jumped on the kitchen counters, drank from the toilet, knocked over glass objects out of spite, or climbed all of the book shelves. He claimed one shelf on my bookcase, which never varied, and one pot in the garden. It was his. This was known. It didn’t matter if there were plants in it, each spring he’d reclaim it. I learned to just give him a fresh dirt bed and he was happy. The Monsters have taken over the house, but the garden they’ve pretty much left alone. *knock on wood* All except one pot, which…

Red Sky in the Morning Shepherds Warning…
…Red Sky at Night Shepherds Delight. The other night while I was on cam WLTNBN mentioned this…. it was news to me, so I had to look it up… I found answers! If the sky is red in the morning, it means there will be bad weather during the day. However, if it’s red at night, the weather will be nice through the night… that makes no sense to me. So, I “researched” further. In other words, I clicked on another link to give me more answers. LOL. Apparently, this has been a saying as long as man as been speaking. (I did a copy/paste from Yahoo Answers) Two…

Four and a Half Inches
Boy, we finally got a good soaking of rain! The first night of storms was severe. We were in the very center of each storm wave, so we managed to get more than most. Along with those first 4″ we had thunder, lightning and wind. It was a welcome relief, even with the wind and thunder. It rained through the next morning, but then tapered off until the next night. I thought it was going to be a replay of the night before, but it was scattered storms, leaving us with another 1/2 of an inch. My plants and our trees are loving this weather! What’s strange is it drastically…

Pictures from My World
You guys always hear me talking about doing yard work, the field, our slopes and my gardens, but I’ve never shared pictures with you. So, I decided it’s time I change that! It’s a work in progress, and the garden isn’t near what I hope it to be this summer, but it’s still worth sharing…

Let’s Get Our Drink On!!
Next Wednesday, the 21st, is Lefty’s birthday and I will be online to celebrate! Let’s come together and wish him nothing but the very best on his day! This will be a drinking night, but if you’re not a drinker, no worries! You do not have to be drunk to enjoy this celebration! Plus, someone has to be the responsible one, or else we’d be left without a designated driver! I’ll be drinking and will be on for several hours… Let’s make it a tradition! White Russians or Cranberry Vodka? Hmmm.. decisions. I think this goes without saying, but if you’re a member of my site, you will have access…

My Wednesday: I am Fun!
I was on cam until 2a, then had emails to send out, getting to bed a couple hours later. I let myself sleep in, but as soon as I realized I slept later than I wanted, I was out of bed, and on the go! I had a long to-do-list. As you know, Devil is out of town and I’ve been left to my own vices. Oh, and the house has been clean all week. I do feel the need to say that… he left on Monday. LOL. Okay, so anyway. I made coffee, fed the Monsters and the Brats, and then went to the Studio. I finished organizing the…
