i know- i know




its been a while in between posts. I'm a busy lady. Maizy and I are celebrating first-day-of-spring-eve by deciding its not too cold for her to start hanging out on the breezeway during the day again. It is however a little nippy so I give her lots of blankets and an electric heater. She has been in the family room in the basement for the winter. But lately has been showing obvious signs of being bored with her accomodations in the ways of ripping apart laundry and my floral supplies. For her own safety (from ME- I almost killed her after she chewed up one end of an entire bolt of NICE tulle, GRRR!) she has been in her crate during the day the last week. She is crate trained and rather likes HER space, but its not good for her to be there alot so its back to the breezeway.

In case you are wondering she is a Lab/Pit. We adopted her 2 years ago Next week. We were told she was a Lab-cross. As she matured its quite obvious she is part pit- I am from a family who loves big dogs, so I have no issues with it. But I am sorry to say too many people have stereotyped a wonderful breed based on the performance of a few. People seem to be forgetting that the few who fight and are aggressive, are that way b/c they are a highly trainable and loyal breed. PEOPLE trained them to be that way. I hate breed profiling. I love my Pit-Lab.



I am soooo looking forward to spending days on the breezeway again.


I have been busy planning my new etsy shop and as soon as its up and running I will post a link. Other than that just trying to keep myself occupied while counting down the days til starting seeds indoors

back to basics







Matt and Annabell are both sick. It seems like the flu but who knows? I called the pediatrician last nite to find out how much cough medicine to give Annabell. She said not to give her any. They are now recommending a spoonful of Honey. Well I LOVE that I didnt have to give her meds- but HONEY? I have always disliked honey and I have never attempted giving it to Annabell straight. Other than that Ive given her a rosemary eucalyptus bath and keep the humidifier going in her room. She also is sporting the scent of vapo-rub. I hope she is better soon. As for Matt- he prefers to suffer thru his symptoms- and not so quietly I might add. The most I can do for him is keep bringing him water and make him soup. The house smells of a combination of Vicks and Pasta E Fagioli.

weekend moments



I try like crazy to find the beauty in this long cold season. You have to or you'll go mad. It does get considerably harder to do once March is here though. Im glad we dont use the front door since if we did we would have to break down those beautiful icicles which are about 2 1/2 feet long.
