Spring thaw?

After weeks of really cold February, we've moved into the 'slop' stage...everything thawed and it rained and rained. Now you can break a leg trying to navigate the MUD. Have I mentioned that Winter in Indiana stinks? Those 2 winters in Florida seem to have ruined my 'Midwest Tolerance' level!

Keith's been working a full week and then not working, just long enough that he applies for unemployment, and then goes back to work before he gets the unemployment straight! But he's making more than unemployment would pay...if it's averaged out.

We heard a story that there are jobs 'out there' for RV couples to babysit oilwells and get paid for just opening and closing a gate and being a presence onsite. I'm looking for something like that. What we REALLY need is a construction job AND a job as gatekeeper on said job... ;) In a perfect world!

Little "Trouble" is now also known as "Mr. Nonuts", but it hasn't affected his overall attitude. He still thinks he should rule the roost! He's also decided that he should pee outdoors and then 'hold it' and poop behind the recliner after he comes indoors! He's consistent, anyhow.... Can't leave him outdoors until he can't hold it...while he's peeing, he's looking for something to bark at--and as soon as he's done he sets up a horrendous uproar in that little yappie Yorkie-like voice that would wake the dead. And since we are in a 'community', we can't leave him out! The neighbor is feeding 2 stray cats on a regular basis (I'm sure that has to count as having pets?) so they are always around, just out of reach--and all the dogs want them! We have pets because????

I've gotten all caught up in the Genealogy trap! Sucked into Colonial America--and I don't LIKE history! I have spent more time amongst the Scots/Irish and Melungeons and Cherokee and all that stuff than I ever imagined possible! Oh well, it does make the time pass.... Beats watching soaps and judge shows all day! LOL! TV is such a wasteland...

So, back to my Tree...


And yes, that IS the brushed and bathed version! When this was taken, he smelled like a GIRL!
