I've been working on finishing the gardens all week. Finally pretty much done! Here are the unique footprint stepping stones I found at the dollar store. I love these! Posted by Picasa

Lotto!!

Hey!! It's been a good week!! I won $75 on a $1 scratch ticket yesterday!! woohoo!!!!

Good thing, I needed cheering up as the day before, I got flipped off by a kid who actually jumped out of a car in traffic (at a stop light) and knocked on my passenger window in order to do so. Guess I pissed him off...not really sure since I have no clue WTF I did. But hey, if you're ever in the Twin Cities, watch out for a lil red car with license plate KAP 213. That's them. Road rage is NOT pretty.

Went out last weekend to a couple of festivals, had lotsa FAIR FOOD. Hoping for more, somewhere, this weekend. In the meantime...off for a piece of Bakers Square key lime pie. :)

Have a good weekend!!

Kermit didn't make it.

Its been a fairly quiet couple of weeks. I recovered from the flu and spent the weekend trying to make yard improvements and compromising with the critters in the process. The squirrels don't like the wood chips I laid down in the flower bed..or maybe it's just the way I laid them out...in any case, they keep re-arranging them (and digging holes underneath).

I found a baby bunny nest in the back yard while I was spraying for weeds. I think they are still OK as sometimes the nest appears empty and others I can see the babies' backs. There are two of them ~ I named them Trixie and Dixie ~ I have yet to see them out of the nest again so that I can get pics.

Lastly - and sadly - I found a toad (named him Kermit) in the window well while I was laying down insecticide. I didn't spray him, but apparently he couldn't get out - in spite of the branch I laid in there for him to use as a ladder - and unfortunately, Kermit passed away sometime yesterday. RIP Kermit. :(

On a happier note, my kids are all flying up next month to visit. So I'm busy trying to get things in order and baby-proofed. Also working on my genealogy site at http://gailsgenealogy.atspace.com if you care to visit during the reconstruction.

Have a happy August!!
