Hives.......

Okay just 1 (one)! And not the rash either!
The wasps built a nest under the small deck.

It's kinda disinegrating, as Ray sprayed it last night.

Told me I could knock it down today,

Think I'll pass, I can still hear the suckers buzzing around!

Jerry, checking out what's going on, and possibly the only cat left on the place!

Yesterday coming home from town, I ran across these critters!

They're baby coyotes,

There were about 8 of them!

Ray figured the dog wouldn't stand a chance against that many!

I've got Rhubarb Crisp in the oven......I'm going to make my lasagna for supper now....then I'm going out to mow and whippersnip by the Saskatoons and Chokecherrys!

Cleaning the car is on the list for today too. Maybe washing the kitchen floor.

Oh, and put the lattice back up that I took off the deck so Ray could get under there and spray the nest!

I'm tired just thinking about all of it! hahahaha

I've been bathing the Laurel Leaf Willow with dish soap the last few days.

Certain kinds of willows in the whole country side are turning brown.

There's a little tiny brown mite or something on them.

Of course, Gail paid money for one this year, and it's affecting it!

I don't know if the leaves will just fall off, or if it kills the damn tree!

Better go, got a million things to do, and I leave on Thursday!

Ta ta for now!

Malfunction at the Junction!

As you know, (and if you don't you should be keeping up on the weather channel!!!), It's been REALLY hot here!

Yesterday.....I start my car to leave work, and a little light comes on.
I pull up to Fields, cause that's my first errand, and check my messages, and dig out my cars little black book.
I find the little picture that is lit up.....and I kid you not.....it says "Malfunction Light"!?
It goes on to say that bad gas can make it light up. Things too numerous to mention. Oh, but it DID say that the car should run normally, and it shouldn't need towed! WTH!
What good is a 'malfunction light' if I don't know what's malfunctioned?????
It says to take it in for servicing as soon as possible.
Ray changes my oil, and that's about the only servicing it's had. Well, I DID get all the belts replaced at 160,000 kms.

So I called the Chrysler dealer in PR and made an appointment for Thursday morning!
She asks, "The car's running fine?"
Me, "Yup!"
She: "It's a malfunction light?"
Me: "Yup"
She: "What's malfunctioning?"
Me: "I don't know!"

Thursday morning is the first day of my holidays!
I think it's a sign that I should stay home! Either that or get a new vehicle!
Remember last year?
I spend a small fortune on my vehicle, then still holiday!
Good thing I'm only going for a week.
Oh, we'll get some camping & stuff in too, and V & S moved into a new place so I could go have a sleep over with them! And there's a wedding we're going to in there!

I did mail out a book to Pinky!
If you follow her blog, she has chickens.
We live in SMALL TOWN NOWHERE ALBERTA, so I go into the Post Office today to send it off.
M: "It can go air for $13 something or surface for $11 something."
Me: "Surface."
M: "What is it a cookbook?"
Me: "No, Chickens."
M: "Chickens?"
Me: "Yup, that's what she's into."
When I got my craft book stuff a month or so ago, there was a book about chickens, and I imediately thought of her, so I ordered it!
Hope she likes it!

I didn't sleep worth crap last night.
Don't know if it was because it's sooooo hot, or what!
It rained & tried to be cloudy for most of today, so hopefully I can sleep tonight!

I did manage to whip up a birthday card this week!

This is the inside.

That was about the only creative thing I did this week.

I WAS putting my Christmas paper & stuff away, but CCAYR has their July challenge up, so I'll have to get in on that!

Gotta get my butt in gear and make some more wedding cards.

We just got another invite today!

That makes 6!!!???

Good thing I have holidays coming up....I can do what I want!

Better go.

Ta ta for now!
