Granny's gone and done it again

[h2oratt]

omg I am so wore out. got home , grocerys in, chickens fed and watered . Pup raising cain in the back yard. I thought about the possum so figured I better take a look.a baby kitten , cant be 5 weeks yet and its determined its coming in the yard and Bandit is just as determined to help it by eating my fence. He has it broke all to hell. Looks like a job for Robert. He walks over to the other side and here they come piling out of the bushes starved to death, eyes yucky, belly big from worms. He gathered them up , put them in my chicken cage without the first complaint of the chicken smell . head count 6.

I just now saw this. That's how we got our barn cats!

Mam?

You ever gonna tell him?

Our pound /shelter wont take cats here. says shoot them. They need something for their eyes.

Can you ask for help on your FB thingy? Tell the story and see if anyone offers to help. Pictures would really melt their hearts. Last thing you need is more animals to buy food for. I bet they are sweet little things. Your animal shelter is pathetic. Try FB.

View attachment 1030547Anyone know what kind of wildflower this is? It's growing on a load of top soil I brought in and ain't scattered yet. Pretty little thing. Maybe I'LL scoop it up with a shovel and put it in a more convenient spot. Perhaps it will propagate.

It's called Texas Plume or Standing Cypress. Attracts hummingbirds! I didn't read anything about it being toxic.

Conditions Comments: Standing cypress is stunningly beautiful and easy to cultivate in garden settings. Showy, red, tubular flowers, widely flaring at the rim, are marked with orange or yellowish spots inside. Flowers are arranged in a thick spike, opening from the tip of the stem downward. When the bloom stalk is through blooming, you can prune it off to allow replacement stalk to grow and flower.

I looked at wal mart for boric today. didnt find it. Do you know what part of the store it would be /? I have saline .

Borax in cleaning section. Boric acid in pharmacy section.

Pretty but deadly, huh? Like a wicked city woman

You got some 'splaining to do!!!

Good evening!. Guess it's closer to good morning for a lot of you. Was up at MIL's for most of the day. She got up and ate a little lunch with us and we helped her with a bit of paperwork before she went back to bed. Sleeping more and more now and so thin , but at least she can still walk and mostly take care of herself. Very hard for her, such an independent person.

All the hugs wishing!!

Sigh. I feel for my sis in law. There's a lot of teenage drama and angst going on right now in her circle. Sigh. It's making me want to go over to parents and say wtf you're supposed to be an adult stop acting like a prissy child...and shake my head at the other kids.(dude when a parent is bullying a 17 year old - what the flock is wrong with you)

And smack a dumb boy upside the head. (Darned boys - doesn't a lot of drama from the teenage age stem from silly boys?)

Sigh. She's been stealing peach for some snuggles at least and I've kidnapped her away for a girly talk dog walk at least to get her away from furious texting/postings on her phone...I just wish there was more I could do. But I know this is something she's gotta figure and learn to deal with.

I also reminded her that if she ever needed to get out of dodge a while my house is always open to her. I need to let the fil know aboot it too...she's starting a new job soon though so escapes may be tricky for a bit.

I dunno. Due to distance and all that I don't get to spend a lot of time with the SiL but...I remember what that age was like. And she is family. And unlike hubs' mom's side of bat guano insane...his dad tries and SiL is good people. (There's a long story there about the mil insanity). It's just her and her dad so when I do come I offer to do the girly things if she'd like....and do the girl talk and all that. (Her bio mom is not in the picture at all...all love to the fil but I've noticed a tendency to go for the crazy)

Anyway. I'm also trying to nudge hubs in the social direction. It's still a little awkward with him and his dad. (Basically his dad was custodial parent and his mom pretty much ran off with him when he was a kid - spent most of his adolescence and young adult life telling him what scum his father is. She's even tried telling me this earlier on before I knew fil too much...about how he was a druggie and hung with the motorcycle gangs. She stopped trying to turn me though after I defended him a few times. "Even if he made mistakes in his past, he's trying to have a relationship with his son now and I see no reason to stop that" Contrast to over coffee discussions with his dad - and I have huge respect for him for this - he will never say anything bad about his mom. He'll tell me what happens but he doesn't come out and say she's bat guano insane or insults or anything.)

Anyway. Long story short. My side of the family may put the fun in dysfunctional but...oi. There is lots of healing to be done on this side.

it's so hard for someone that's independent to have to get help when they need it. It's hard for them to ask. and it's hard for the family to watch someone that's always been so independent start to go downhill.

[Granny Hatchet]

mornings, Lost electric last night. No net this am. I guess Robert had to reset it. Kittys are eating drinking and pooping. I started a FB last night. I have offers of mama milk all the way from Fl. Building the suspense on pics. So far one offer to help rehome. Lots of advice and a few offers of milk. I have decided these kittens were dumped. They are too friendly . Thats scary to know someone was in my back yard.
