It's Monday and I have spent the weekend taking care of Little Rita and her stubborn fever of 103.....So I haven't got anything exciting to tell you, but I decided I can fall back on Logos cheap technique of posting tacky anti-Valentines.....
In the meanwhile, the report is that we cleaned up the flotsam in our yard this weekend, old stuff....and the dogs things.....sigh.....it's amazing how much stuff can accumulate around the yard when you aren't looking. And, is there any house in rural territory where there isn't at least one blue tarp lying around? We had one, and a green one and a black one too, a broken step ladder, a rusty little hibachi, some flithy stolen kitchen things that went missing somehow, shoelaces?...hmnnn....The one other thing that all rural homes must have is a place where they park all the junker cars that dont run so that they will always have parts handy. We don't have that. Besides, that would mean that I would have to keep buying Ford Escorts, and they don't make them anymore.
We also have a really beat up looking trampoline in our yard. The safety net is all green and moldy, and is hanging off its supports in a few places. Little Rita takes toys and stuff out there when she jumps, and leaves 'em. So, I couldn't help but notice the neighbors peering through their curtains as we cleaned up around there, and I knew they were hoping that the entire trampoline would come down and the ugly thing wiped from their landscape!

HAH! Not gonna happen! How else can I equalize the pain of my neighbor, affectionately known as "Lawnmower Man", who mows his "lawn", which is really just a field of wild grass and will NEVER EVER look like a lawn no matter how hard you try, mows his lawn, not once, but THREE times to make sure the length of each grass blade does not exceed 1/32 of an inch.!
So anyway, not very exciting...but Little Rita is feeling much better, and now to get through Monday with a bored child who has watched wayyyyy tooooo much TV this weekend. Quite a feat for a family with a TV that gets 2 channels......
Over and out, have a lovely week people!

poor lil rita. i'm glad she's on the upswing.
back here (provided we get snow) it's always interesting inthe spring to see what the melting snow reveals as having been left inthe yard all winter.
Ah yes, the never ending yard cleaning, I know it well.
with two channels?? That is amazing.
sorry to hear about lil Rita...!!! i've been getting this weird feverishness at night...(insert obvious suggestive comment here...fnar fnar...) can't make it out at all...i think i'm also getting some kind of RSI or arthritis due to typing, texting ( insert obvious suggestive comment here...fnar fnar...) but yeah i'm in constant pain and it's really bugging me...anyway...hope she's better soon Suse...xxx
Great post again.
It seems the flu visits alle the northern hemish for the time. "Evereybody" has it. yeah, yeah, ahappens evry winter....
And I think I would buy a large green blanket to your neighbour. He should think about the cost of energy. And the noise-pollution. :-))
have a great week
What two channels do you get?
Sorry about Rita - we have it over here too - Yesterday I had some peanuts for dinner and nothing for lunch - too sick - and Jacquie who is my back up...er...sometimes prime cook - was sick too - Coco had cereal for dinner - she has not been hit - I am on the mend - and had alllllll these blogs of yours to catch up on -better than finding an Agatha Christie I had not read!
