 Yikes !

Dry plants, dry earth and no rain and snow. 

The Fire department said this is what we see at the start of summer not February.

Square Dog Friday, Giggle Ball

Best day of the week is here, Square Dog Friday !

I was outside playing giggleball with iwinston.
One of his favorite games, lots of fun and then DISASTER !
Giggleball rolled down the steps into the pool !

OCH, DISASTER!

What you do not see is after barking he runs up the steps to me.
He looks at me like save me from the Godzilla Ball or
hurry up and get it out so we can play !
Then he runs down again to start barking again then back to me.
.

 iwinston play now

....

As always here is your pretty for the weekend.

Things I find in iwinstons mouth.

Little twigs a few roots and one stone.
As I look out outside you can see him sitting there munching
away on something that is hanging out of one side of his mouth.
He is a hoot !

Have a great weekend !
cheers,  parsnip

Mecha Godzilla vs Furry Godzilla

Who will destroy the Gingerbread House !

 We know who will win this battle !
Really no constest !

 I collect rocks and gems.
Sometimes I don't know what they are except beautiful and interesting.
I can not remember where I found this in Tucson !
.

 One of my tiny cactus bloomed. The bloom is about the size of nail on your tiny finger.
Of course I am so clumsy I knocked it over trying to take this photo !

 Tiny baby plants growing next to mother plant.

 What today looks like. 'Temperature today 40/80 Too warm/hot, all sun no clouds.
No rain or snow either. It will be a bad summer.

update.

Doctors visit was interesting and frustrating.

I have new meds and two old meds are gone for now.

If I start to blow up like a balloon (more than I am already) and more headaches

 I have to stop them and go back to the old meds.  

Right now I have to track the weight gain and side effects for a month.

The side effects are driving me crazy !

As my theatrical thehamish use to say...

woe

woe woe 

oh woe is me

woe

.

Thank you for all your good wishes.

You all have a terrific weekend.

I will !
