Monday Photo Shoot/Natural Spring Photos!~

Dear Journal,

Decided I would participate in Scalzi's photo shoot this week.  I used to do it each week before I started working again.

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Show off your refrigerator magnets.

I have two views of my fridge magnets.  The second one I took without the glare, but the first view with the glare actually shows the magnets better.  The ones along the bottom we got while we lived in Colorado on different excursions.  The one in the middle says Susan's Kitchen.  There are a few that hold family photos.  One holds a picture of the mustang my son used to own (his ex got it in the divorce) and his best friend's mustang.  The paint jobs on both change colors.  The rest are just miscellaneous.  A couple were given to me by close friends.  Last but not least, are my Holstein cow magnets.

The rest of the photos show the natural spring that winds through our yard.  We have been clearing the brush that goes down to the spring.  We have plans to put in a fountain and lay rock so that the water cascades over the rocks.  Before we can even attempt that, the brush has to be cleared down to the spring.  You can tell by photos posted how much we still have to do.

The spring is what feeds and fills the pond.  Hard to believe that little bit of water fills a whole pond (there are pics of the pond in the last entry).

We are expecting severe weather here in the Heart of Dixie today, so guess March is coming in like a lion here in the deep south!  Guess we will find out if the work we did on the foundation is going to work or not, as when we get heavy rains, the basement usually floods.  ::big sigh::

I feel I have had a productive week this week.  It started with the yardwork last weekend and getting our very eroded driveway fixed.  It gave us such a feeling of accomplishment to see the beautiful results.  Now I cannot wait to do more!~

I got my dining room/kitchen mopped and cleaned.  I did some rearranging and love the results.  I got the living room floor mopped.  The hardwood floor needs refinishing so badly, it didn't look much different, but at least I know it is clean.  The floor is over 100 years old. It is pine and in dire need of refinishing.  If I had my way, it would be totally replaced with new hardwood!~

I hope to get the living room deep cleaned today and get it more organized.  I have to start work at 1:00 so guess I had better hurry.

I heard on the news where Anna Nicole Smith is finally going to be buried in the Bahamas next to her son.  I am so glad her wishes are going to be carried out in light of the fact she did not have such a great relationship with her mother.

I kind of hope Howard Stern is the father of Dannielynn for the simple fact that she has already lost her mother and I would hate to see her lose the only father she has ever known.

Must get busy if I am to accomplish all I want to do before I have to start work.  Of course, if the weather gets too bad, the computer is the last place I want to be.  My station that I get my dictation on is connected to the phone lines.  I wear headphones and have been shocked before during a t-storm where lightening came in on the phone line and through my headphones.  I hope my daughter gets in from school before it gets too bad.  Right now, the bad weather is on the west side of Alabama.

Must run!  Will write more later!~

Happy Thursday!~
