I have been keeping an eye on the storm as it gets closer to her. From what I have seen, she will get lots much needed rain; the winds shouldn't be too bad but will hit her area this afternoon.

honalee, We love Shelties too. I love the names you gave them. How cute!! Right now, we have a male Sable Rough-coat Collie (Angus McColly), a large English Shepherd, black with sable (Sheppie) and a female Bluetick Coonhound (Bonnie Belle). Lots of fun and games on our place from them! All were adopted. We adopted the boys and Bonnie adopted us! :) My DH liked your pictures of your DH with the Shelties. We plan to go for smaller breeds eventually. He wants Shelties; I want Corgis. :) Our dogs are so big. In this tiny cottage, it is congested traffic 24/7. You literally have to step over the furry bodies to get from room to room. :) And when they all get excited and rowdy, watch out and grab hold of something to anchor yourself! :) All sweet pups though and very loyal. We sure enjoy them and love them. Our 12 remaining cats tolerate them, because "dogs are handy when you need a warm body to cuddle up with...so I guess they are good for something", or so the cats seem to regard the dogs :) I started Little Brother on Clindamyacin two days ago. He seems somewhat better, although still running a fever and feels cold. His stomach is very tender when touched. You have to lift him carefully or he cries out in pain. He is using the potty box and drinking a tiny bit of water. He acts like he is sick to his stomach, but is not vomiting anymore. That is good. The medicine is staying down him. He started making "biscuits" on his bed this morning and purring again. :) I rubbed a little bit of tuna broth on his gums and let him lick it off so he wouldn't get choked. Keeping him warm and comfy and giving him lots of loves. That's about all we can do. Thanks for the hugs and well wishes everyone. ~Annie

Prosperity, I just had an idea for an easy way to do a wreath. Take some black fabric, tear it in strips three or four inches wide. Now take your scissors and cut from one side only 3/4 of the way to the other side to make a "fringe". Wrap the strip of fabric around the wreath fluffing up the "fringed" part as you go. Secure with straight pins or hot glue. Might not be quite as "fluffy" but would still be cute. You could also just glue something like spanish moss or the shredded paper used for gifts, give it a couple light coats of black spray paint, and you would have a "fluffy" wreath too! Now you all know why I can't sleep well some nights--the brain just keeps churning out "crafty" ideas! LOL Cindy, I hope you find your scissors. I think the little ones would love them. Actually, you could just have straight sides too and it would be fine. It's the eyes and bow and shape that make them cute. Have fun. Luvs P.S. I don't like the ones I did with the glittered edges. The plain ones just seem "nicer" to me.

Looks like she's busy playing Farmville over on FB, so I'm guessing everything's okay!

Funny. Well, that's good.

Lee is actually wrecking havoc over in Texas. We're not getting the rain, but, and this is a very bad explaination, she's pulling moisture from Texas and causing extreme wind gusts. Fires are everywhere. Central Texas has been badly hit. One of our local t.v. channels says 300 homes have burned, but I haven't seen anywhere else writing about that.

Lars, is your family okay? Don't they live somewhere around Austin? The fires are in Bastrop County. Anyone else live where the fires are?

Sally, that was not meant to minimize the problems Texas is having right now. Of course, starting with the worst drought in years didn't help with those fires either.

Elery and I were just discussing over the weekend how he keeps getting rain and more rain and more rain, basements are flooding along with tens of thousands of acres of cropland, while Texas parches. We just can't think of a good way to send it where it's needed.

I didn't at all think you were minimizing the problems in Texas, Annie. I didn't mean to imply that. I actually thought it was funny that Riverrat was playing Farmville, and getting plenty of rain. lol

Hey guys, Thanks for thinking about us. Lee was a much welcomed storm. It hit east of where we live. We had lots of wind and rain but all is ok. I didn't lose power so, of course, we had a hurricane party! Friends were here from Houston and we enjoyed just looking at the much needed rain. Sometimes we even had sideways rain when the wind picked up! It was great! LOL!

Speaking of Texas, the wildfires are so out of control! I've learned this morning that our friends that live in Longview have packed up the really important things and are being evacuated. They have a lovely home on about 8 acres and they may lose it all to the fires.

Thanks again for thinking of us! We still need more rain to get us out of the drought situation. My water bill is killing me!

RR, I'm glad you're safe and got some rain to help the water bill!

Sally, Ashley told me I should join Facebook. I asked why. She said I could have a farm. I told her I already have a farm. She just sighed.
