Mother Day Love, Psycho Mom, and Skinks

Image
Just finished up yesterday's blog and  posted it and getting a  head start on today's. This was Mothers Day... Misty must have known it  was a special day so she  is giving me some special loving. About the time she reached 4, she stopped being a cuddle bug so  I take the cuddles when I can. She says, "mom can't be serious," but if you notice, her face NEVER changes, she is the serious one. Big difference between her and Lily, Lily's eyes show all sorts of things making her facial expression change depending in her mood. Speaking of Lily,  my Mothers Day gift from her was she allowed me to lay beside. LOL... I don't joke. Not only do I battle catitude there is that tori mix in there  also.  I can see my kids saying this. I have some railroad ties that lay along side part of my driveway. I have a frog living under there. I had to stop the mower one day  and again the next the weeder, to  get him out of the way. Then the other day while me...

Mothers Day, The Pruett's, Barbies Clothes, Daughters Clothes

Image
Hello all! First on the blogging to do  list this morning is.... To all you beautiful moms, be it with human kids or fur babes. I have touched on the subject of Jeanne Pruett before.  She lived three doors up from me when I was a little girl. Her daughter was a yr to two  older than me but her and I used to  sit on their front porch and play Barbies.  I ran across this write up on  a page on FB yesterday. By the time Jeanne and Jack Pruett moved to 3814 Bonnacreek Drive in Hermitage in May 1961, Jack  had been playing guitar in Marty Robbins' road  band for several years. He'd already played on albums  like "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" —  "El Paso," "Big Iron,"  the whole album cut in a single session at  Bradley Studios in April 1959. Jeanne was home raising two kids. She was also  writing songs. In 1963, Jack brought some of her  material to Robbins, who signed her to his publishing  company and got her...

Flower Bed, Morning Glories, Exhausted Face and Body, Mothers Day Gift

Image
  Still a work in progress. Probably will be for a couple of summers. These are all rocks that  I pulled out of the dirt that was delivered last yr. My hummingbird vine did not do well in this spot last yr for  some reason...maybe the seeds I planted were a couple of  yrs old but that has never made a  difference before.  This yr I am trying morning glories in this pot in the same spot. Already looking better. I actually worked on this area yesterday. I am in the process of building a wishing well in this area.  Then I am going to set up  a swing for this area. A tad back further from this area but around the  same spot I am going  to set up my hammock.  After messing around in  the yard on Friday on my upcoming project, I took a bath and  chilled on the daybed. Today, Saturday, May 9th, starting at 9 am, Amber and I are spending the day together.  Mothers Day. We are going to some yard sales, have our toes done, lunc...

Serial Killers, CoLd Morning, Errands, Birds

Image
  If anyone ever wondered if I  could be a serial Killer,  here's your answer! No Aquarius listed. Is your sign listed?     I love my cool mornings on the deck  with my coffee and the birds singing... But yesterday was a CoLd one. 56 and damp from rain the night before. I was under a throw and had my winter socks on. It made it up to 58 then the  rain moved again and even at 58 it was damp and cold so I moved the fun to the yard!! HAHA Ground was soft so I pulled weeds from  the flowerbed after the rain of the morn  moved out.  I think our high for the day was 69. Its 56 as I type up this  post, I am on the deck however,  there is a big change, its not damp and its not cold, you know, rain cold. Birds are singing, its 9:20 am,  and the sun is out. I drank my coffee in  the house earlier but the outside was calling me. So, here I am. And a break from this blog went for hours, the better part of the day. I did my walkab...
