My Poor Baby Boy, Stallion

It's been quite a while since I've logged on and posted anything. Unfortunately, Stallion has been pretty ill and I've been up and down at the vets. He picked up some kind of bacteria and also has acute pyoderma which is like eczema. Poor guy has been on steriods and antibiotics for several weeks now. Fortunately, they are working and he is much better. He's almost his old self again. It's amazing how one can become so attached to a pet. I was in tears when the vet brought him out to me after shaving one side of is face and I could see where the irritation was. It had spread from his below his ear, down his neck to his shoulder. I felt so bad because all the while I thought he was rolling in bird poo or cat poo and so I, of course, I'd give him a bath not knowing that he had an infection. My poor baby. I am alot more aware now. I make sure that I check his body for any type of irritations or lesions.

On a lighter note, can you believe its almost fall? I am so excited! I'll begin decorating the weekend after Labor Day. :P I know its early but Fall is my favorite season (Christmas a close second)and I've been looking through all my fall decorations salivating and trying to be patient. Time for hay stacks, scarecrows and mums. Yippee! I have all my fall candles waiting for me to light them up. Oh, delicious pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon and cool evenings. Aaah.... Well I'll leave you now and check in with you later.

Finally! Wonderful Weather

Today was such a beautiful day. Low humidity and alot of sunshine. I took advantage of the low humidity to do some very much needed weeding. Afterwards, I headed to the nursery to see which perrenials where on sale. Once I did my walk through I felt too tired to do any planting, so possibly tomorrow I'll head back there and pick up a couple of plants. I finally brought up my sewing machine and was able to hem some curtains that I've been putting off for quite some time. It felt really good to be sewing again. (I'm only a novice) Tomorrow after the nursery, I'm headed to the fabric store to see if I can get some material for some crafts. I'm going to attempt to make some prim dolls. Wish me luck. I'll post some pictures when I'm done. With that said, I've attached a picture of Stallion which I'm sure will make you chuckle. Have a great nite.

This n That

This past weekend I went upstate to visit my best friend Addy. I had a great time but unfortunately, the visit was too short. Next time I'll have to stay for two days instead of one. I was hoping to do some antiquing but time flys when you're having fun. I'm looking to make a trip up there in September when all the leaves are turning. Its absolutely beautiful and very picturesque. So, I was doing some blog surfing and came across this nifty website (on primpyourpad.blogspot.com)where you can make your own magazine cover. Pretty neat. You all should give it a shot, its alot of fun. Thanks Linda! bighugelabs.com

Linda at behindmyreddoor.blogspot.com is having her photo shoot today. I am so excited for her. Country Sampler is at her house probably right now prepping for the shoot! I can't wait to see her home in the country sampler. Congrats to Linda!http://behindmyreddoor.blogspot.com

This weekend I am going to bust out my sewing machine. There are a couple of crafts and sewing projects that I'd like to begin before the falls gets here. I recently saw some really nice patterns of rag dolls but I forgot where :( That's what I get for not jotting things down..lol. If I come across them I'll link them so that you can see. Until then,

Stay-cation

Hey all, I've been on stay-cation this week. Been trying to make the most of out of not going away and so far, it hasn't been too bad. I've made it to Fire Island which believe it or not is only 5 nautical miles (which is equivalent to 6.1 miles give or take a kilometer or two) but I have not been there in about 4 years. Took the ferry over spent a couple of hours there and headed back home. Had a great time with the hubby at the ocean. The ocean was pretty rough due to Hurricane Bertha. We had some awesome swells but with some really strong currents which deterred us from going out into the deep. Anyway, we made the most of it and I got a lot of color :) Anytime by the ocean I consider awesome. My hubby (Rich) really misses sailing. We used to own a sailboat but we ended up selling it because we didn't spend much time on it to justify the cost of docking it for the season and only going out a handful of times. We've been looking at sailboats again, but I know it will be couple of years before we own again. This weekend I'm headed to visit my best friend Addy. She lives upstate. I'm really looking forwarded to seeing her. It's been a couple of months since we've seen each other and time is due. She and I have been friends since high school. Twenty years, whooh how time flies. Any who, I'm hoping to hit some flea markets or antique shops while I'm there. I'll let you know what I find. I'm posting some pics from my bike ride this past week.

A Close Call

This past weekend my hubby was in a bit of a mishap at work. A ceiling collapsed on him during conducting an inspection at a fire. Fortunately he only suffered minor injuries. It really could have been worse. So needless to say, I was very thankful this 4th of July to have my husband at home and not in some hospital. He is recovering from back pain and slowly getting around. On a lighter note, this weekend was my god-son's birthday. He turned 8 yrs. old. Wow, how time flies. He's only 9 years away from graduating high school. :o Great, now I'm feeling old. Anyway, he got Wii for his birthday and was very excited. Has anyone tried this Wii thing yet? I don't know too much about it other than its some kind of a simulator or something like that. If you have let me know. I finally got around to taking some pictures of my home. It's funny how things tend to stand out when you take pictures. I noticed a lot of bare spots and that only means that I have to buy new stuff to replace those bare spots. :) Although I'm really on austerity (at least for a couple of months) I can by one or two little inexpensive things. Before we know it autumn will be here and it will be time to redecorate! Yay... Okay, I'll calm down..Let's just enjoy summer for now. Hope you enjoy the pix. If you have any prim pix you would like to to post just send them right over. Talk to ya soon.

This past Sunday was Stallion's 2nd birthday. He enjoyed the hot summer sun and his lil swimming pool. I had given him a bath several days before so he could be nice and clean for his birthday. Why is it that dogs tend to find the fowlest odor and roll around in it? Totally blows my mind how they can smell so awful and not even be phased by it. Well, I guess that's what makes them animals. The weather has really been wonderful. It's truly feeling like summer now. I'm hoping to take a couple of daycations (due to high gas prices and everything else going up) to Fire Island, and neighboring towns like Montauk to hang out at the beach. My goal is to try to make the most of this summer even if I don't go away. A couple of visits to the beach and some seaside dining would be just as good. I'm still working on getting some pictures posted on my blog. Today I'm going on a nice bike ride to take some photos of some beautiful country homes near the bay. Hope you all have a great and safe July 4th.

Warmest Regards,

Siri
