Fall always makes me stop, breathe deep and begin contemplation of how cold my ass is going to get this winter. Can't help it, I am not a fan of cold, snow, wind, or freezin'. I am however, a huge fan of fire's, homemade cookin', wool, heavy blankets, sweaters, hot tea, loads of chocolate and endless cuddlin' on the couch, even if it's usually those damn mules that are glued to my sides, stealin the blankets and sippin' my tea. Damn Mules!

I tend to hibernate most of the winter, so if you want to see Queenie before the snow flies, you better invite me somewhere soon!

I promise to do better with postin' crap on here for any of you to read, friend or foe( I seem to be collectin' more of the former than the latter lately, whoo hoo!) and keep you updated on the going's on with Lucy and Stickers'. I am hopin' like hell we can rustle up a bunch of my favorite people to go skinny dippin' up in Montana before Christmas comes, and have a family Thanksgiving here at my zoo too! Any takers??

I do ask that any visitors bring tools, food, gravel, seeds to plant, heavy equipment or rail road ties for housewarming tid-bits...I need this crap...GET OFF ME!

May you're noses run long and fast, you're pockets be filled with fun-tickets, your Wagons be sure-footed, your mules obey, your nights be long, warm and filled with the scents of rich food, good spices,much love, new joys and plenty of firewood!

Queenie. Gearin' up for hibernation.

So I am posting in hopes of well wishes and healin' thoughts for Lucy. Took her to the Sawbones today and found out she has a potentially serious tumor on her hip. I scheduled her for surgery on Monday, and here's hoping we find out its benign, and that when they remove it, they get it all. The prognosis otherwise is such that I feel like pukin' wailin' and lockin' myself in a room full of wine and chocolate until my uterus falls out, and my heart explodes. For her part, she is takin' the news pretty well...the fact that she doesn't know squat about it helps a lot! It is complete crap that Mules get Cancer anyway. WTF!! They are only with us for such a short time in the first place, and as they are buckets of Love and affection( and a little shit-bit thrown in if yer Lucy) is just total B.S! I am so mad, and scared I could jest shoot someone. Problem is, who? So at 8am Monday, Luce will be gettin' cut up,stitched up, blood-work done and a slew of other t

This won't be one of my best posts', or really a funny one, but I feel as though I must be honest about some things in my life on here, and recently life has seriously kicked me in the face, trampled on my tender heart and left me in some difficult circumstances so I feel the need to spew. The Hubby, who got very very sick last Thanksgiving and continued to be ill and a medical mystery for the better part of a year, passed away at the young age of 61 on the 22nd of July, 2011. It was a stressful, shocking and altogether horrible event. Made worse for me by the previous deaths, also at very young ages' of both my parents...Dad in 2000, Mom in 2006. I had taken care of them both for rather long periods of time prior and it was no picnic to do the same for Steve. I would like to mention that for the most part,the Hubby stayed in what I consider to be pretty good spirits until close to the end. Then it was just hard for us both to cope. We were married for 9 years, and toge

Dog Gone....

A storm blew into Queenie's world recently, and I plumb went 'round the bend. I decided that with all the recent changes in my life( Ya'll know they haven't been good ones) that I needed to downsize in some area's I would normally NEVER consider. I decided to re-gift a Mule. Pause here for dramatic effect. I can hear you all gaspin' in disbelief, and frankly, I can't even blame you. I felt like my guts were bein' ripped out thru my heart! I convinced myself that I was doin' this for all the right reasons, and that it was necessary. So, the other day, after much heartache, despair(these are my babies people!) I loaded up food and treats, hitched Stickers to the Wagon and roared down the dirt road toward town... I immediately told her to bite these people, eat their house, chase their old dog, and to harass their freakin' cats. I am not proud of this behavior, but nobody that reads this, or who knows me, can say they are surprised by it, so Shut
