it's been a while, so i thought i should update the blog. i've been pretty busy, but i can't say lots has been happening.
the biggest news on the homestead is that daisy got her aniversary present. we are now the owners of a large fened in back yard. it is quite beautiful if i may say so. i called and got some quotes- all were pretty reasonable, so i decided to just go for it. i knew what i wanted, so i went for it. they weren't going to start until next monday, but then they realized that they could pound it out over the wekend. that worked well for me, so we have a fence. daisy dogg is the happies little puppy. she doesn't want to come inside!!! she would be quite happy to stay outside all day long. of course, she still does the doorbel thing and lets me know whenever anything is withn 100 ft of the house. she is definitely a tired puppy when we come in at night. crazy daisy in the yard, lazy daisy in the house. this morning we played catch. she enjoys having a long ways to run for the ball instead of the 10 ft. normally found in the house (which also has breakables...).
in other yard related news, i'm having major fire ant problems. i've killed several mounds out front, and i found one out back too. i am going to do a topical treatment to the whole yard, because this is out of hand! it is not a good idea to mow the lawn with a bunch of fire ants running around. hence, a good excuse to not mow for the time being.
friday night i went over to amanda's for a girls night in with her and virginia (aka va). amanda's husband stephen is in a quartet at their church, and the quartet was competiting at the national quartet competition. in kentucky so,we had a fun girls night in. we hung, and i introduced amanda to my flavor of the week - the pear vodka and cranberry cape cod. we had fun just hanging out and gossiping lie girls. daisy maisy came with me and spent most of her time running around with allie dog and playing scared of the cats. it is cute to watch her with the cats - she tries to play with hem, and they are scared of her, so they hiss and growl. then she gets frustrated and gets down on the ground further and barks. it is great, except when you are trying to keep baby sleeping. saturday morning we had a lazy morning of letting the dogs play and i got to play with va since she was up. she is such a cute, happy baby! she is 10 months old, and happy to to play and play and play. apparently i was granted baby approval since she didn't cry at first sight of me and she used me as a jungle gym. not everyone gets this treatment!
unfortnately, after the hurricane last week, never got satellite back up! something is definitely wrong. so, the directv guy is supposed to come out here and fix it for me this morning, between 8 and 12. i love the 4 hour time windows... hopefully he'll come out here sooner rather than later. I'm not feeling like working particularly late, so this means taking leave. meanwhile i am going to go work on my patio furntiture some more. i was getting somewhere with it last night, and then the mosquitos came out. they had a wonderful dinner: me! note to self: next time at walmart buy lots more citronella! if i'm going to take a morning off, why not use it to my advantage? soon we will have a little paradise out back!!
