Share your day September 2013

My daughter & g'daughter are going with me and my lil guy, Jordan, to the Lazy 5 ranch this morning. Taking a horse drawn wagon ride with stops along the way to feed the exotic animals -- giraffes and all....food they provide. It's rare for me to have him on a wk-end, so we're keeping our fingers crossed the weatherman is wrong and we'll get through the trip before the thunderstorms begin. We're all looking so forward to it. Things are just more fun when there's a sweet lil child involved. I should have known we'd get rain, haven't had any in over a week! Bum luck!

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend.
 

Have a fantastic time Katy, we'll keep fingers crossed about that rain holding off.


Some clown has just let off some fireworks and a couple of skyrockets in the park right near my window. I saw the green flashes so knew what it was straight away but Belle was still doing her Rottweiler impersonations for a good 10 minutes after. It gave her heart a work out.

Must have been for a kids party up the hill, I could hear the squeals and giggles in the distance. No damage done but a heads-up might have been nice.
Happens a lot around here, they're illegal unlicenced, but there's no cops within cooee and no one really minds as it's adults doing it. First time in 'my' little park though.
 
Katy that sounds like a great day and a big bonus having the little man with you, enjoy yourself.
Di we quite often have fireworks here as well, they can still get them in Canberra , poor little belle must have been frightened. I'm off to bed Nitey Nite
 

Those damned unexpected fireworks still have me diving for cover to this day. Would have made me want to fire something back at them in return . . . but cooler thinking prevails.

Thanks to the SifuPhil All Senior Kazoo and Didgeridoo Marching Band for that great rendition of Bike at the Shop.

Things here are interesting. Fall has fallen right on time with equinox just hours away. Small front moving through with what they forecast as showers but so far only a cool breeze. Looking out the window at quail making their way across the field. Hello Kitty interested by giving them a chance to enjoy the seeds I scattered for them. Got football on the tube. Thought watching local San Jose State game a good idea but they're getting whooped. America soon to be Kiwi Cup racing still going on. Greatly irritated that the final race of the day was called on account of light winds this time. Have said before and will say it again . . . they are weak! Spoiled brats.
 
I heard three firecrackers go off last night around 11, not sure why, they usually wait until around a holiday for that. I don't like it, and neither does my furkid. Just got done with one of his least favorite things, a well needed bath...now when we're ready in the next couple of days, we'll finish grooming him. Here's a pic of him in the tub, and after bath wooly bear pic...next on the to do list is to get the charcoals ready for hubby, he'll be barbequing some St. Louis ribs for us later. :p

Whenever the dogs at the vineyard got a bath, I would laugh at them and say, "You smell like a girl". Didn't take long for them to find something to roll in . . .
 
Awww, there's nothing like the smell of wet dog in the morning!

Well, roomy's romance is over, as I had a hunch it soon would be. Whatever happened hasn't been revealed to me yet, but she came through the door like a runaway locomotive and huffing just as loud. I'm sure I'll become party to the details, but the fact that she threw her credit card at me and asked me to get an online background check on him sort of shows she wants something to remember him by.

It's for the best - I had nothing but bad feelings about this guy.

She had gone out and bought a ton of food for them - now she told me to be ready to eat a lot. :rolleyes:
 
Wow, I hope she's okay! Sounds like she was pretty shaken when she came in! Could his background be any worse than the stuff she knows already? Anyhoo, glad she kicked him to the curb, he sounded like bad news all around....just hope he doesn't try stalking her or something.
 
Maybe that's why she said she's glad she has "her monk" here. :eek:

He was ticked-off the other night when she was at his place, talking about being worked over by the system and someone owing him money, then segued into saying how he was going to go out and "set things right".

All the behavioral traits of other psychotics I have known ...
 
Phil, he's really the poor victim isn't he? :rolleyes: I just got done grooming my dog's head, hubby will finish off the rest of him tomorrow. Lot of grappling to keep him in place, he will do his best to look the wrong way, lean away from me, step back and forth to get away...so cooperative, lol. Got me thinking of Ozarkgal again :(, she used to be a professional groomer, and does her three Ganstas herself...we miss you OG, come back soon! :love_heart: Here's a before and a couple of after head shots, surprised he has any beard left, I'm always cutting off matted clumps...

Phil, glad to hear she got rid of him; he didn't sound like a good partner prospect at all....scary, in fact!!

Seabreeze, your dog looks cute, but perhaps not altogether happy with the bath. :D What kind of dog is he???
 
Thanks Anne, he doesn't like baths or groomings at all, but has to put up with them several times a year. He's a Standard Schnauzer.
 
Phil - sounds like things with the roommate are going in a good direction (just my opinion)!
SeaBreeze, love your dog - mine won't go near water - have to push them outside when it rains.

Had a busy weekend, did some grooming (no riding), brunch with the barn owner, had some trees taken down at the future home stead. What a mess! We separated the trees that could be potential fence posts and made a huge pile of them, also have another pile for firewood. Tried to make a burn pile but there is just too many limbs and I don't want a raging fire, so have been talking to contractors about coming in and chipping. Could use the chips on the trails and chipping is more better for the environment so think that is the way to go.

Also had an open house on Sunday so lots of cleaning involved for that little event. Today is laundry day and getting ready for a firewood delivery. The wood mentioned above will be used for the new house, although I'm beginning to wonder if that will ever happen. Such a slow process....
 
Thanks TICA, he's a good boy, 11 years old now. Don't mind the rain or water really, but hates the thunder...don't blame him. You sound like you have a lot on your plate there, just keep plugging along, soon you'll be enjoying the new house, and this will be just distant memory. :)
 
Did a bit of laundry this morning, just the bedding from the pet crates and have been stacking fire wood as well. Love the wood fire on chilly evenings, but..... SO much work involved. I did have a fire two nights ago as it is nippy at night now. Love a fire when I've had a bad day - I call it my comfort fire as it really does do my soul good.

Provincial elections about to happen here and honestly, there isn't anyone worth voting for - what to do??

Sun is shining today, windy and about 16 C so a great day for outdoor work. Hoping my back holds out. I tend not to think about the aches and pains I know I'll have tonight so I'll do some more stacking before the day is out. Have two cords so the sooner it's done, the better!

Have a great day everyone.

Noticed you were up and around at 2ish this morning just before I turned in, figured you were having problems. Hope it's short term Gdad. Hope the alternative medication did you some good too.
 
This morning I am being picked up by my daughter to spend the day at hers to celebrate my great grandsons first birthday, there will be a little tea party for when his older sister comes home from school and then this evening two of my older grandaughters and their partners will arrive after work for dinner.

I will be back home some time tomorrow.:)
 
Have put the three-year-old grandson to bed (this is the last night of his three day sleepover) and ordered extra oxygen cylinders for the grandparents when we start recovery tomorrow.

PS: Only kidding.
