my poor ophanutz.

OPHEE WAS HIT by a car two days ago, and lived to tell the tail. Her left ankle has a bad break, and is splinted. The vet may need to pin it if it won't heal well. I'm so glad she's still here. I mean, just look at her!! What a darling and stoic little friend I have.

alright!

TERRIE CAME OVER this weekend and wow, did we make some changes! Cleanup, painting, and planting. It goes to show that a weekend of work, esp if I have help, accomplishes a lot. Will post pix tomorrow.

spring forward slowly

I GOT ALL ZANY about the approaching gorgeous weather, which has been nice, but still a bit cold. Jumped the gun a little. General news bits about me in no order:
• I'm an official Lunch Lady™ now, at Columbia Elementary, handing out cookies and ketchup
• On our walk, Ophee and I found a little owl (dead)
• My Bothell transplanted shrubs have survived.
• I've pruned back the lilacs, roses, forsythia--anything I want to give a new start
• I have actually started and finished a painting, which is a sort of miracle if you know me.
• I made 88 dollars this month making and selling gift and scrap papers. (my little bug below)
• I'm working at 3 jobs.
• I survived the winter, in spite of the stupid ER episode which turned out to be pneumonia.
• There was a skunk in my tiny barnlet, which I am cleaning.
• My auntie turned 90, and I went over Apr 1 to see her.
• I cut my hair very short, and lots of grey popped up!
OK, there's more, and I will grab some photos.
