Happy Earth Day!!!

Happy Earth Day!!

Spent The Beautiful Sunday...

doing Yard Work!

Much Needed... Yard Work!!

It was Great... getting my hands in the dirt, cleaning out urns, and preparing them to be planted up, after...

The May 2 - 5 Estate Sale.

; )

Helper, Brandon, and his Brother, Dustin... mowed, and helped weed whip, yesterday.

We Rocked!!

; )

Still have Much to do, but took a Huge Bite out of the 'Jungle'!!

; )

Was So Happy... to see the little Flowers Smiling, yesterday... at The Rabbit Hole.

<3

 Rescued these... on a trip to Des Moines, Pal, Allyson, and I took...

a year, or so... back.

Saved them in my coffee cup, for the ride home.

: )

Precious Babies!!

<3

To those who always ask if there's Fish... in The Fountain, 

: )

Yes....

<3

We don't treat the lawn, or anything... with chemicals, here.

Never have.

That's why... it gets a little shaggy.

; )

'Unruly'.

: )

This Guy... is the Last... Gold Fish, left... of three, I brought home from Walmart, about 15 years ago.

They were about an inch long, then.

He's HUGE!!

Must be at least 12 inches, now.

He was Kind to Say "Hi"... yesterday.

<3

There are several Crappies, who... somehow, 'appeared'... sharing the Fountain, and have been, for many years.

We think Bird's must've carried eggs on their feet, from the Creek, then left them... when they sip... from the Fountain.

<3

It was a bit grueling, yesterday...

but, 

it was Lovely, and So Incredibly Soulful.

Loved playing with the Fountains, and getting reacquainted with the Rabbit Hole.

I've... kept my distance, for far... too long.

: (

Alison, from Texas, was right, there Are... Many Good Spirits, around there.

<3 <3 <3 

As chaotic, and forlorn... as The Rabbit Hole, has become, 'since'... IDOT/Fairfax... messes,

somehow...

It Still...

offers a Warm, Welcoming... and Loving Embrace.

<3

Have to Laugh...

a while back, while helping Pal, Bill... 

took a picture of something at his shop....

when I put my phone, in my back pocket, didn't realize I'd hit the 'Video' button on it.

It recorded 45 minutes of 'video', unbeknownst to me.

: )

Realized it, after I got home that day.... sat down, and listened to it.

: )

Oh My Gosh!!!

We could have a Seinfeld Show.

: )

We were talking about... 'Nothing', but...

Hysterical...

'Nothing'!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

That... was about 15 minutes, of the video.

10 minutes, or so... was me, driving home.

: )

Singing with The Radio!!

Hahahahaha...

then, when I got home, 

Thanked... Mustang Sally, for the Ride, 

walked inside... the house,

called out to Miss. Peanut, {like always}

"Hey... Peanut!! Mama's Home!!!"

<3

then... 

you could hear Peanut's toenails... clicking up the stairs, and across the wood floor, to Greet Me!!

<3

Then...

began washing dishes, and... taking care of the Plants.

Talking to Them All...

telling them How Beautiful, They All Are!!

: ) : ) : ) 

Carried on Many 'conversations', with Miss. Peanut, about what she'd like for Supper, had she seen 'Baby Kitty'???

  "Wonder where She's Lurking??" : ) oh my.

It went On...and On!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

Caught myself, doing Exactly That, with The Plants, Trees... Fish, Fountains... and Rabbit Hole, yesterday.

: )

No...

; )

I don't talk to 'myself',

I Talk To Everything, Literally... Everything, Around Me!!

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

I deleted the 'incriminating' video, after listening to it.

GADS!!!!!!

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

Told Bill... about it.

; )

He Roared!!

Oh My!!

; )

Back to The Estate Sale!!

Miles... to Go!!

Love to Ya.

Prayers... for All.

{Going to post an Alison Krauss tune, above.

It was the first tune that came to mind, as I walked into The Rabbit Hole, yesterday.

Her voice... is, The Voice, I always hear... from The Rabbit Hole.}

<3 <3 <3 

Blogger's Back!! YAY!!

SWEET MUSIC!!!

: )

Waitin' on Helper... Brandino, he has to string Mr. DeWalt, for me.

so... while waitin', 

was going to keep 'troubleshooting' blogger.

IT'S UP And Runnin'!!!

YAY!!!

: ) : ) : )

Woooo Hoooo!!

; )

Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On

Coffee... First.

Beautiful Sunday Morning in Iowa!!

Coffee First.

then...

Getting Reacquainted with My Pal...

Mr. DeWalt. 

; )

We haven't Danced Together, since last Fall. 

Oh... Dear. 

Been so busy working on other things, well... Today's The Day!!

Yeah... Boy!!

; )

Oh.... My. 

: )

Helper, Brandon is going to mow. Oh my. 

Everything Needs a Haircut around here. 

If I'm not too Whipped... going to work on The May 2 - 5 Estate Sale this afternoon. 

No promises. 

We'll be all over it tomorrow, for sure. 

Figured if we didn't get this knocked out today, might as well put a "Welcome to the Jungle" sign up... cause there's no way I'll be able to get to it any closer to Sale Time. 

Still having blog issues. Hopefully when I meet with Pal, Bill... he can figure it out. 

Miss.... The Music as I write. 

: (

Today's Tune... would be in honor of my Dancing Partner, Mr. DeWalt. 

; )

Marvin Gaye...

'Lets Get It On'. 

Hahahaha!!! 

; )

Hope This Day is Beautiful Wherever You Are!!

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

Having technical difficulties with blogger today, so... am spending a bunch of time, this afternoon.... troubleshooting. 

Yeah.... Boy!! 

: )

May be leaning Real Hard, on my little Android phone. 

Only..  at 'SALE TIME'.

{One might think, Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall, is working with Blogger!! Hahaha!! }
