Good luck selling the truck! Glad you got a little rest. The stress alone is making you extra tired I'm sure.

Clotheslines and bees:
What's the deal with bees, wasps and wet laundry? They seem to love it! I hang out my clothes and there are honeybees (probably mine) buzzing all around. I guess they're attracted to the scent of the Tide I use. Then once it's dry, before I take it in, these little yellow jackety things are on the clothes - they're smaller, and don't seem too aggressive. I can still gather the clothes. It's just something I noticed over the past couple of months, now that I'm chasing the sun trying to make sure I never have to use my dryer!
I'm going out to let the chooks out, Stumpy is cockadoodledooing at me cuz he sees me out in the yard. They sit at the window and cry! It's pitiful sometimes, but I can only let them out when I'm home. Last night a sharp shinned hawk scared the bejeebers out of them and almost got one, although I don't know if it could have taken her, the chickens are bigger than that particular type of hawk.....I'll be on hawk watch for the rest of the afternoon! Poor Greg thought one bird was gone, she hid in the woods and wouldn't come out until it was almost dark. Thankfully no one even got close to being taloned!

Oh those darn hawks! I am so sick of them.
I have had at least on here everyday this past week.
I had one that kept dive bombing in the yard right over my head, not the least bit afraid.
A hawk did get one of mine and we were out there the whole day.
Those sharpshinned are smaller but I would not underestimate them.
Man oh man, I wish I had the money for that truck myself!! I would buy that in a heartbeat. Bill would worship me forever
that baby is mint.
I still drive my kids to school in my pajamas on occasion and further more I will walk my son to the school door.
I guess I am old now and I don't care anymore.
My older kids use to hate it too but I always pointed out that they were welcome to walk like that was going to happen.
I did have car trouble once on the way home and I was in my pjs. not fun.
Hope you guys are doing well with everything and just keeping busy.

just popping in to say HI Ann...hope all is going well for you today!
sunny and nice here.....I am going to put up a clothesline soon. Always hung things over the porch, but that isn't good cause the stupid cat finds the towels as a good perch on the railing and that ain't going to wash!
So next small project in a few days is clothesline and maybe put some things out there I don't care get as stiff. For me towels still in the dryer..LOL
BUT those little bees, we call them sweat bees in NC. What kind they are not sure, but I don't think they sting, they just get in your face and when sweating in the sun they seem to be drawn to the moisture?! I don't know but they are a pain..LOL
have a great day
just rambling cause I can..LOL

How's your man, Ann? 
Sent a honeybee your way this day, with a message of hope and prayers! If you see a strange one in your bunch, she's just dropping off some WV pollen to sweeten your hive. :bouquet :bee

Ah, Beekissed, I saw that bee up in Maine 
My man is fine, he got to play with his woodpile which makes everything right with the world. He's actually doing better with this than I am - I've got to snap out of it.
I don't want to wish away time, but I really want the next two weeks to go by - this Friday with the surgery, and then 5-7 days for the pathology report......

Do you ever not want to go to bed? Not have the next day come? I'm so afraid for him. And us. I know I shouldn't be negative, and I'm trying not to be, but this same cancer killed my father, who for a long time was the only man who ever took care of me. I spent 24 years taking care of another one, who turned out to be such a disappointment. Now I've got my wonderful guy, laying upstairs, trying to sleep before this surgery - and I'm afraid to have tomorrow come. I'm not asking for sympathy, just some nodding of heads that maybe you understand..

Sometimes I think it is harder on loved ones than it is on the one who is going through it themselves, just my opinion. I've been in both places. I completely understand what you are going through.

Ann, of course we understand. How could you not feel the way that you do.
I am sure everyone is glad that you are sharing your concerns with us, thats what friends are for and hopefully we can all get you through all this worry.
Greg and you have alot of people praying on your behalf.
I know its hard to stay positive, thats what the rest of us are for.
I wish Greg's surgery was early this morning instead of this afternoon, its torture to have to wait all day for someone you care about to go into surgery.
Remember, I am literally down the street from the hospital, walking distance.
You can come here and wait, I can come up and visit with you or bring you or Greg anything that you need.
He'll be in there a week so you may need somene nearby.
Let us know what you need, and stop feeling like you are on here complaining, thats not what you are doing.
You are sharing your extremely valid concerns with friends and we are offering you the support you need.
Thank you for trusting us enough to confide in, let us know how it goes today. Blessings,
Natalie
