I surely spend my time reading other people's blogs, so you would think I would get the urge to put up a new post here.<br />
<br />
So, without further excuses - I will just post a few pictures of life - Ryan just a few weeks ago (from my phone, so not very clear); Our crazy cat, Paws, and A project I wish to start - sweater pumpkins ...<br />

Strength is needed and hopefully with more time and a new member of the support team he will find the way to getting better so that he can get back to his journey at college.<br />

We see the orthopedic surgeon on Friday of this week to get the final 'blessing' for full tilt on football. Appears that the bone has been healing and regenerating and that the surgery in February did 'it's thing'. . . . <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0CuPoZPkEUM/Sls6i3eoixI/AAAAAAAAAmg/yzcwRhsaByg/s1600-h/IMG_2729.JPG"></a><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0CuPoZPkEUM/Sls6iXYz2AI/AAAAAAAAAmY/7Uax3wyMLbo/s1600-h/IMG_2728.JPG"></a><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0CuPoZPkEUM/Sls5seELO9I/AAAAAAAAAlo/ogRo59IzDy4/s1600-h/IMG_2687.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

First day was rain, rain, rain - so they were inside for the first half and then outside for the balance. Friday was sunny and perfect weather for drills.</p><p>Week three for me - have some job opportunities unfolding. </p><p>Captain Kangaroo! -It's wild kingdom around here- momma and poppa robin decided to nest under the deck and now have 3 babies; the momma doe and her fawn come through the yard every day around 2'<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ish</span></span>; I knocked down a softball size bald-faced hornet nest under the deck a week ago; and the chipmunks (more than 6(or 600) I'm certain) are enjoying chasing me from the front garden to the back garden. And they continue to work on destroying the retaining wall by burrowing all over and under - I've lost a number of plants due to disturbed roots. I can't understand why any of them want to be at the house when the wetlands are at their beck and call and about 40 yards away ?? </p><p>Kisses and sunshine to the family...will summer weather actually stick around for more than a day at a time ?</p>Sherry's Garden of thoughts...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14733027934503108574noreply@blogger.com0
