Seriously?

I seriously haven't posted since February. 

I have no real interesting news.

Jack is no longer Just Jack.  He is Jack Attack.  Pictures will come when he stops moving long enough to get a focused picture of him.  I'm also having camera/computer issues, so pictures are not really happening. 

Earl did buy me a new Nikon, so I'm having a blast with that.

And there is no garden for me this year.  Jack jumps fences with ease and rips out all greenery.  Apparently there were carrots still in the ground from last year.  Apparently they were also really tasty because Jack ate them all.  And old corn that never really did anything last fall.


But good stuff for Earl, his berry patch is doing well.  His fence is taller and sturdier, so Jack can't get in it very easily (unless he goes through my garden first), and there Earl has a dozen strawberry and blueberry plants, his red current, his tayberry, and some other berry we always forget, and a bunch of raspberry canes.  Now if only he would remember to water the plants, he might have gotten more than a few strawberries and one blueberry.

Poor guy.

But that's all for now.  More later I hope.  I'll just have a buy a new computer I think, hehe.

Back to Work!

Earl has finally gotten the go ahead to go back to work!  The tendons for his pinkie finger are still rubbing on the plate, but the doctor thinks he might not need a second surgery, but we'll know more in a month.  Not getting our hopes up!  Earl is hoping to get back to work Monday morning, which means I'll have to start driving myself to work again.


Going to start working in the garden again soon.  Need to turn under all those weeds and get some compost in there.  Mainly, I need to get some seeds started.  This year is going to look vastly different from last!

In other news, Jack is huge.  No official weigh in at the moment, but we are guess between 20-25 pounds, which is huge from his 16 pounds when we brought him home.  He's fitting in better, but still a hell-raiser! 

Sorry, too lazy for pictures, but wanted to update since I haven't in a long, long time! 

Just Jack

His name is Jack.

Just Jack.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to all!

This last year has been filled with fun, and filled with sorrow! In just the last month, we got married, my man broke his hand and had to wait two weeks before a doctor would even look at it, and our old man, Buddy, passed away very suddenly on the 15th! Poor guy... He was sick for a long time, and I guess his old body couldn't take it.

I have set myself some new goals for the new year!

1) Blackberries. Maybe this year I can get rid of them (HA!)
2) Build a chicken coop. Nothing fancy, but for when we move!
3) Move!
4) Update the blog at least once a week... We'll see how that goes!

This years garden is going to be different! The peas were a bit of a bust, so was the corn, and the cucumbers never had a chance it seems! The spinach was lame, and the tomatoes did nothing but annoy me! This year will be squash, more corn, and lots of lettuce! I loved having fresh lettuce to eat everyday!

Here's hoping the new year will be better than the last! Who knows what's in store for our little family?

I dedicate this next year to you, Buddy
