Digging the Sand!

I have spent almost all of my daylight hours the past few days in the sand.....digging up sandspurs, wild lantana in bad locations and those awful thorny bamboo shoots. They all love this sandy mountain. The thorny bamboos are the worst of course, because they bite really hard with huge razor blade sharp thorns.
I have missed alot the past two days while I have been playing weed exterminator in the sand...and not turning on my computer or answering my phone continuously...I had rosy cheeks last night from the sun.:) I love the Sun too bad I don't have ninja skin....I can hear Granny's "Woooo Katie, you better cover your head, that old sun will ruin your skin." It's a fact red heads can't tan....

M.J. during the Alabama
Auburn game

Last night my daughter Lee Ann had to take her totally loved pet to the emergency Vet in Auburn. They kept M.J., said she was comfortable, and sent Lee Ann home and said to come back to see vet at 10:30. We almost lost M.J. last summer when she ate a toothpick. She had surgery and slowly recovered. I hope she's o.k. we all totally adore her. They were playing in the park and she started crying and just kept getting worse.  She is the smartest sweetest dog any of us have ever known. Lee Ann is totally devoted to her and she to Lee Ann.
Last week my cousin Cicely's daughter broke her arm and she commented on how hard it is to see your child suffer. It is the worst torment there is for a mother. Wish I could be there with them....
