Odds and Ends

I've not been on here much as of lately. I didn't even post my Sunday Sign! I am really behind. Things are about as usual around here. Last week was a tiring one as my hubby had those red spots again, with a fever, and we ended up going to Lexington to the VA Hospital so he could be seen by the dermatologist there. I thought they might take blood work and all that stuff...but no... all they did was take 2 biopsies of the red skin. They also informed us that there was only a 10% chance of it showing anything at all. Not very good odds. The doctor said it would take about 3-4 months before they'll know if it showed anything or not. We got antibiotics and he is fine now with no fever and no red hot spots!

Here is a picture of Jamie Dawn (black cat) and Sir Scarlet (yellow cat). I hate to have to say it but poor Sir Scarlet got hit by a car a couple of weeks ago and is no longer with us. I sure did hate it but I wasn't real surprised. He had a thing for running up on the road too often. Usually the cats just stay away from the road since they know that's where those big monster things whiz by all the time! Sir Scarlet is the one that spent 4 nights locked in my neighbor's garage, so he was using his nine lives quite fast. Now I'm down to 4 cats.









Here it almost looks like Jamie Dawn is giving Skittles a neck massage! Looks like he is enjoying it!

Jamie Dawn looking so cute! She is a sweet cat. She can also be very mischievious! She is also very brave (or crazy). She will fuzz up and hit a raccoon on the head with her paw when the raccoon gets in the cat food. The raccoons just hunker down and take it. I hope she doesn't hit one that isn't so gracious sometime, as raccoons can be mean if they take a notion to be! Usually they leave after she bats them on the head long enough. She uses her paw like it has a spring in it and just keeps whacking them on the head!

Munchie laying in the driveway next to my neighbor's fence. As you can see mowing his lawn is not a priority! He does keep the front mowed better than the back thankfully!

Miss White Lily says that we are boring her and thus turned her back!

Here's my very very late Sunday sign! No, not an early sign, but a late one! During the summer we gets lots of Ohio folks that come down to Lake Cumberland, so locally they are called the "Ohio Navy."

I love this photo of the "bleeding heart." This is the first time I've had this pretty flower.

Some of my bright yellow Coreopsis. From seeds blown around these things spread like crazy.







I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and I'm making the rounds slowly of getting to everyone's blogs to catch up!
