No I don't but the bird guide , in fact 2 of them showed a pic and it says blue jay..It is right in with the ones with whiteish looking breats. I forgot to mention the canarys in my yard too. I will do my best to get a pic.

Patty, some people feel important by sticking theirs nosews where they aren't needed. I't just like giving them a pacifier' best to say what ya gotta and ignore .

Hi Patty,
Your pissy fit would be called a hissy fit here. Whatever you call it you are entitled.
Your post took me back to my week in intensive care with all the tubes including tracheotomy and nose feeding. A lot of the staff would talk as though I was not there.
Remember a young physiotherapist yelling at me. I wrote down that even though I could not talk I was not deaf. She took that on board for about 10 minutes
Reading all your posts and am sorry for what you are going through but still love the see your sense of humour come through.
Love
Gabriele

Not surprisingly, we are not replacing the PEG tube today with a fever from the infection. My doctor's sometimes do not talk to each other very well. I am glad that the antibiotics are not making me sick and I am having an OK day.

Later on I will take the furkids out in the yard so that they can run and play ball. I am still just putting food and medicine in and resting.

Patty

Sure glad you are having an OK day Patty. I bet the furkids are wondering what the hell is going on with you I kind of think our pets understand better than some people do. I hope your fever is gone before play time with your pets . Have a great rest of the day and smile alot...

I am making a daily/weekly schedule for both my benefit and for the benefit of others so that they will know things like which meds I take in the morning and which ones in the evening etc. It includes days and times that I do not want and will not have visitors. I have also put a nap in there every day because I like an afternoon nap.

I got the lawn tractor out today and cut 1/2 of the backyard. Then I got the front tire stuck in one of the craters that the dogs have made. Previously I would have been able to pick that up and set it out of the hole. Today I called a friend and did not even attempt it. Tomorrow I will cut some more of the backyard and then I am going to mark the craters with some flags. My brother in law is getting me some dirt to fill in the holes and I will plant more grass seed. To rotate the dogs from the side being repaired to the completed side I am going to use T posts and snow fence but someone else will have to pound the posts for me. The dogs are doing better about the digging and I do see signs outside the fence that the moles/ground squirrels have exit or entry holes. I am hoping that they are exit holes and that it will get even better now.

My nephews brought me a bouquet of lilacs yesterday and from the dining room table they have made the entire house smell good. The new roses are blooming and the blossoms are still on the apple tree. It is forecast to be nice and dry for the next new days. I hope that everyone enjoys this wonderful spring weather.

Patty

I for one am enjoying it Patty, but the last 2 days here have been a downfall mental wise. Too wet and cool. I'm glad you are out doing things but please go easy you old toughy.

Patty: You sound so much better. Work will keep you mind off your troubles, but so will having some fun. Try to get and do something you enjoy.

Take care. Remember we're always he to lean on.

Patty, i finally am back on OCF. I do have access to the PMs now.

Lilacs are my favorite. I have some palnted here my children gave me a couple years ago for mothers day. They are still too small for flowers. Enjoy the wonderful aroma, they are only around for such a short time.

You must be feeling much more liek yourself if you are doing yardwork. Please watch that you dont overdo it. Make sure you are getting enough feedings so you keep your energy levels up.

Hope you have a good day tomorrow.

Christine - So glad that you are back with us. Don't you hate it when the computer or the interet is down?? I feel so disconnected from the world when I can not e-mail at least. Of course, I do not use the phone much at all so that makes a difference I guess.

Jim I hope that it is just the damp, cold weather that bothered you today and that is is gone tomorrow so that you can have a better day.

HA HA - KIA has a car out that looks like a Mini Cooper that I jsut saw on a commercial and Pete's rats are driving it - they are all being cool and listening to their MP3 players - it is way too cute!!

Sring is still here today and they are predicting rain again for the next 3 days. I hope that they are wrong. I finished the back yard this afternoon and I hope to cut the front yard. I would like to take it in for it's spring service and to have the blades aligned well. When I first bought this lawn tractor 3 years ago, every male in my family felt the need to come over and "help" me with my yard which included taking the lawn tractor apart and putting it back together. Once I get it put back together properly I will be requesting that everyone please leave it alone and we will let the professionals do the tweeking this spring and summer. LOL
