Friday already? I'm still stuck on Thursday, or maybe Wednesday. Excitement again though on the sidewalk project. After Wednesday's digging and pulling out fences, etc, they actually dug in half of one side of the street for the sidewalk and gutter. THEN it rained, (we got 1.6 inches!) and the gutter area filled with water so they had a nice long pond there. Skipped yesterday, but are back to day in force with loads of trucks. Maybe they will drain the water and actually put in the cement. It dries in about 1/2 hour so it goes so fast. Oh boy.

Critters are still cuddling up in places outside trying to keep warm and dry. Loads of spots that I've created for them. Raccoons, I am happy to say, have not been here for 4 days now. As soon as I'm SURE that mom and babies are gone for the season, I'll block the access under the deck and make it less inviting. Cute little guys, but dangerous. Amazingly they get along with the possums and feral cats. Can't figure out how nature does that. Each takes their turn at the feeders and water dishes. Wow. We humans should learn from them!

Off to watch the sidewalk progress.

Good morning, off to the city to the pick up one nephew, then to the airport to get the other. I giot them all passes for my club so they go hang out for the afternoon with Peter and then my niece will be here later. I am making a huge batch of Chicken parmesan with sprouted grain pasta for dinner.

Hope your day is blessed...have to run.

Hey Sorta, I do those things for my animal friends too. Right on!!! Couple years ago I had baby opossums and mom running around my house and the babies would nip my ankles, they trusted me. Out of the whole year, that's what I remember. I fed them cat food Fancy Feast every night. They are a joy.

And Ana I'm gonna pack up my family and you can pick us up at airport tomorrow AM. We'll bring the champaign (spelling) and make front page. Really have a grand time and get plenty of sleep too.

Kind of gray lizard-dy day but it's warm good.

Off to do dishes and then escape to Oblivion and then on to Amazon and buy up all the shooters they have.

Lookin' toward the weekend all

Time to get ready and take the taxi out! Have a wonderful afternoon and evening all!

Night Haroula sleep well!


Nan

Be safe, Nan.

Back from the vet. Keoki tested positive for Ehrlichia, but his platelets are fine which means he either was just exposed, or he has it but it hasn't progressed. So we will be keeping a weather eye on him. It is passed by ticks and the other dogs all tested negative. No more walks on the bike trail.

Have fun Ana.

cold , rainy , and snowy here,trying to stay warm.

nan , be careful driving !

well . i'm off to nap - been up since 5 ,because melodee thought it would be fun if i helped her play hide and seek with a leaf she found , then i couldn't get back to sleep . so now i need that nap - lol.

stay warm , and safe , and have a great evening everyone !

Yahoo I'm home...home...home!

Yahoo it rained here today for the first time in a year, it seems!

Howdy everybody.

I had a sleepless night at Mom's last night, and I'm ready to get a good night's sleep tonight.

It's cold and rainy here, and that's alright with me, but we only got about a half inch when we needed 12 inches.

It's been so dry here I was beginning to think it might never rain again.

Now I need to go get my shower over.

Tomorrow is another early day, but instead of getting up at 3:30, I get to sleep in until 5:30.

I hope your day was a good one, and you are having a nice warm cozy evening.

Well, hubby is home and we are all fed. I've got to go change and get ready to go to the movie. We are all heading out to see The Hobbit! So excited

Do you hear that??? Shhhhh.....it's silence.

The kids have all departed for the night to stay at my niece's new house and will return tomorrow morning to do it all again. Now I have to wrap presents and then I can actually take a moment for myself. I am really looking forward to it.

The only bad part of the day was when my niece walked in my house unescorted and ran screaming across the living room to hug her cousins. I was in the kitchen cooking unaware she had pulled up and I heard her scream in excitement and the next thing I hear is her screaming ow and yelling at the dog. After all these years of hanging around my house she still doesn't get that I have watchdogs here, and if you run into my house screaming and lunge yourself at someone to hug them, you will get bit.
In the 9 years I have had Merlin he has only given small warning nips that do not hurt but today he bit harder for a definite warning and he broke skin and gave her a large bruise.

Okay...off to wrap so I have time to chill. Life is good...

Taxi home and parked for the night and it was fun too. Roomies sister from out of town showed up!!

Aw L4l poor Keoki. Hope all will be OK! Enjoy the movie!!

Niteowl have a nice nap and keep warm.

Joe glad you get to sleep a little later tomorrow!! Maybe some more rain will show up!

Oh Ana enjoy the peace and quiet!!! Hope all is well with your neice. Have fun wrapping!!


Nan

L4L, do you give the dogs tick meds? I hope that he shows no sign of it affecting him. I had not heard of it before, I will have to read up.

Nan, glad you had a fun outing with roomie and her sister.

Joe, sorry you had a bad nights sleep. Wasn't Baby there to snuggle with?

Night all sleep well and pleasant dreams!!


Nan
