Reading, Raining and D*$% Armadillos...

Hello everyone,

Yes, I am still alive...ha. We are warming up a little, but it is raining. Supposed to rain tomorrow all day, then clear up for a few days. I have been reading 'The Secret Life of Bees', so I had to finish it up so I could watch the movie of it, that I got for Christmas. I have started on 'My Sister's Keeper' because daughter 'J' wanted me to read it. She loaned it to her Granny (my husband's Mom) and she got it back over Christmas. But I have put it on standby because I need to read 'Night' by Elie Wiesel, because daughter 'C' wants to donate it to her high school for extra credit in English.

Oh, when I was leaving to pick up 'C' from school today...what did I see in my front yard? A D*&% armadillo...I got out of the car and snuck up on him/her, If I had had a stick I got close enough to hit it, but not close enough to kick it before it run off...I chased it though, until it run up into the woods...I like to think if I had put on my sneakers instead of my crocs I could have caught up to it and kicked it into the woods...maybe I scared it enough it won't come back...It wasn't the same one I saw before, it was the color they are supposed to be.

This is for Lucy...



See...I have been perfecting the snow dance for
a long time....
Have a great weekend!!!

  3. I'd give five dollars to see you chasing that armored 'possom. What a lady!!!! Did anyone see you and take a picture? Do you look for the SPCA to knock on your door? What an entry!

    Doing a lot of reading I see, I have slowed down. I just finished 'Dirt' by Woods. Sherry is still going full bore.

    She has asked me to get a proof reader, she says she just wants to read the book LOL. She says this one is good. LOL

    Take care and quit chasing them little critters, no matter what color they are. LOL

    Love from Florida,
    Sherry & Jack

  5. I think that snow dance will get
    the snowing falling. She will need
    to know when to stop as soon as the
    ground is covered.

  6. You really do not like those armadillo's do you?? I would not want critters like that all over my yard. Better than rats. I have the 2 legged rats that are drunk all the time, then when we lived on an acerage on the Blue river we had river rats almost as big aas our little rat terrier.
