Spring Time

Spring is obviously here in Kentucky. Our trees are blooming like mad and the smell makes me want to close my eyes and inhale deeply. (oh and sneeze and take some more allergy meds too) Boo is going crazy with all the birds that have been flocking to our yard to feast at the bird feeder. I even had to bust out the mower already just so that the little dog wasn't lost in all the crazy grass in the back yard.

With all this spring growth, I am getting the planting itch in the worst way. This year I plan to stuff my little garden full of goodness. Oh and some completely worthless pumpkins. Pumpkins are just the cutest little things. I can't help myself. Maybe I will plant ones that we can actually eat this time.

With all the planting dreams rolling through my mind and a dog that will eat anything she can, I thought that maybe I should check out which plants I should avoid. Just in case Jessie decides to augment her strict bunny poo diet and gets the plant eating itch or something crazy like that.

I knew alot of these toxic items but I was unaware of mushrooms?? Come on. Seriously? Lantana? How can that even begin to look like something a dog would eat? Chocolate I can totally understand but lantana?

Yes, I was once blond.

Try not to be shocked but I was blond as a child. Very blond. I would post a picture here but my mother hordes pictures like the ITEOTWAWKI folks horde ammo and #10 cans. But that is another story and I will cast no stones from my glass house.

Chuck recently got an iphone. I have to admit that I am a bit jealous but atleast he was nice enough to give me his ipod to distract me. Now I can dance around like a fool while I vacuum or groove while I use the elyptical. Yeehaw. Pretty picture, no? I have wanted an ipod since they were bigger than an iphone so I'm happy. Today, vacuum in hand, I thought I heard a new Sheryl Crow song. Step it up Sheryl! I was impressed with her flair. New twist on an old favorite song. Then the next song came on. Wow. Even OCMS has a new twist on a song. Third song rolls around and I realize that there is no way the Velvet Underground is stepping it up. My brain is quick like fox when it comes to the painfully obvious.

The message here people is to always make sure your earbuds are plugged in all the way or else you too might here a new twist on an old song. Unless you are into that kinda thing.

A few days back, a friend made her husband a target for the gun range. Tonight, we watched as he loaded it into the back of his truck for his trip to the gun range tomorrow morning. As we watched, we hatched an evil plan like the freaks the we are. Muwahahaha. Poor guy. I really hope he doesn't find our handy work until he arrives and has an audience.
