She is lucky i love her

Athena was almost a dead dog last night......

So i spent about 3 hours planting zucchini, cucumbers and peas. I had turned one of Athenas old pools into my planter box. I planted them all nicely. So i let her out for her nightly romp. I go to bring her in and i'm thinking WTF were you in you are filthy and wet...i look up...and what do i see????

SHE DUG UP MY WHOLE FRIGGIN PLANTER BOX....*deep breaths* So i calmly dry her feet off shove her inside and go and correct what she Destroyed! My mom let her out and i looked up and told Athena "House" in a voice that even shocked my mom. oh i was so dog damn mad! Maybe she was looking for water? i dunno. But we did a little aversion training last night.i think she got that her old pool is now mine and to leave it cause this morning she didn't even travel with in 3 feet of it LOL. And she wont be in the yard unsupervised until i can get some chicken coup stuff to put around it. What gets me is she never did this before. But i never put a garden in her old pool before either.

In a way i guess it's good she did that because it reminded me we have cats that could do the same.

Old Pictures

My brother was holding out on me! He had a few CD's of old Family photos of my grandparents their youth. It's so fun to go through them all and remember stories told by family or learn new ones from my mom. I think one of my projects this summer is to get them all scanned. This way they won't fade anymore then they are and i can fix some that are faded (hopefully). I was also thinking that since my brother has a new house that i'll get some printed for him. We both miss my granma and what better way to help him feel at home then pictures of our family!

My granma before she married my granpa- What a fox she is!


One of my great uncles. who in his day was an actual hobo.


My granpa and his sister. It's so strange to see them so young lol.
