Seed anticipation...

     So, as Tangent starts to dry out, I heard on the news we will get more rain this week-end.. Yay! but, Boo! because I need to get out there and see what in the world is going on out there..

     My poor Tangent is so neglected, It is screaming at me. What in the world are you waiting for? I'm tired of looking like three sheets to the wind...  In total state of submission, but still, unable to do anything,
 Guess What Came in my anticipation!!!????

      Well, as the clock tic-tocs, I just received a really great seed catalog in the mail.  The Cook's Garden.  I don't know if anyone knows about this place or website etc.. But it has the most amazing pictures,  I have a freak-in' list a page long of wants from them.  Of course, I haven't the yard to plant each and every want. But I am sure giddy with the thought of it...

     One particular type of seed I want to get and experiment with is,,,,  Nigella- Chocolate Sundae... These flowers are so intriguing, They have white blooms with a dark burst in the center... They look kind of antique like... It gives me the impression that they will grow in my Map Zone...  but so has other things, and I wasn't successful,

but, Who am I to not try? Right?  When I get a chance I am ordering up these seeds and hope to get them for spring...



Tis the Season

      Shopping has been in my world lately, and well let me just say it isn't my favorite... especially, this time of year... I am trying to be in good spirits, but it is a fight to have a merry sole, when people cut you off in traffic or get mad because they think you are cutting in lines to cashing out... and grab things almost out of your hands...
      But, with the knowledge of being with my family and friends on the day of such a joyous occasion, I am surely not going to let things like that get in my way!!!
      Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!


 My Girls...


Peanut was spayed on Tuesday of this week, my poor little girl, I dropped her off and and felt as though I was abandoning her to these conveyor belts of procedures, It was a mobile mash unit for animals and our local rabies control (pound) place of sadness...

When I picked her up she was in a crazed state of mind, from the anesthesia, Her head was bobbing and twitching and I was a freaked mommy...  I immediately took her to my trusted vet... They reassured me and caught a little bit of a mess up on the meds... Thank goodness...

 She is well and happy and on her way to recovery...


 But guess what???

     We totally inherited, a new outside member to the family,  We have, may I introduce to you, Nuggets (aka- Adolf).. We call him such a name for this reason,  When you look at him from a bit of a distance, He has a mustache like the man himself,  He has a disposition as such tooo!






     He is fat and happy but he has to stay outside and that upsets me, but I can't have him pee all over either...

     I'm in hopes that if he sticks around long enough, that... I will accumulate enough money to break the cycle of baby make-in (neuter him)... and it's crazy too, that Peanut resembles him somewhat too... I may have the daddy or a distance relative of hers outside, ha ha ha!!!


Well  Happy Holidays to everyone  and I so hope that your Year to come is   of  a  Grand Scale!!!
