she has grown from this...























a little baby that you could cover completely with a washcloth...

to this...



















50 pounds of lovins...

she's scared of new shoes, new tires and my 90 year old grandfather... will go crazy jumping out of her skin if a rabbit even thinks about entering her yard but leaves the two frogs alone that live in our back yard... she's scared of her own shadow and won't go into the laundry room if we have put a laundry basket in (what she thinks is) an odd position... but i'd like to think that if somebody ever tried to hurt me, ames (her favorite mama), or her big brother pete...



















she would tear them apart...

happy birthday sweet madeline... you are 21 in dog years today so live it up!!!

my trip to the cemetery by little jesse breier…

so of course i went to see loyd today…

i sat with him for just a little bit… i was seconds away from bursting into flames so i decided to find some shade somewhere… i wandered around for a little while until i ended up at the very back of the cemetery sitting under a tree enjoying the shade and peace and quiet…

remember this one from november???

well here she is now… after what seemed like 27 months of rain…

and then i shit my pants…

i think i interrupted a baby snake making session... as soon as one of them picked up their head, stuck out their tongue and said "i'm going to eat your face" i decided it was time to say thanks to everybody there and go home...

just money

can you believe that my email marked this as spam???

darlene's great with a ball
but guys don't watch tomboys
when they're cruising the hall
to whom it concerns
