well hes definatly feeling friskier this morning, was bouncing around and trying to head butt the cats, and took a full 2 ounce bottle in a single sitting (ive been having to give him an ounce then 1/2 an hour later give him another ounce...
hes much brighter eyed, and acting a little more like a baby goat with each pasing day.
hes got some nose goop (congestion) and im wondering if that combined with the pain of his ears threw him off, so the antibiotics will continue for another 4 days just to be aboslutly sure hes not got or going to get pneumonia...
but otherwise....
hes SUPER spoilt of course. lol.
ive also started work on the garden...
theres a wooden wishingwell planter that covers the well head in the backyard so yesterday that got planted with mint and lemon balm (which I know if well mulched will likely survive winter even in a planter lol) interspersed with some strawberries some marigolds and a couple of perenials that mum liked...ill probably pull the perenials in the fall and over winter them in a small cold frame or something then replant in the spring...
with that done I was "in the mood" so I started work on the first flower bed I want to tackle, its the big bed that runs along the back of the house where origioanlly there weres a mass of evergreen shrubs that while not in bad shape are home to lots of spiders are big, unrooly and just not pretty...
so I started working on that bed...
yesterday I started working on the 1/4 of the bed that had nothing but compacted dirt...its next to the patio...double dug mixed in some rabbit poop and used me little twisty tilly thing to mix...
then transplanted some very overbound hosta from one end of the bed to the other, move some little dafs that were also long due for division, mums rose, a dwarf blueberry and 2 red peony also whent in there, along with a couple of mums Gnomes, her gazingball/citronella lantern and the little ceramic owl light I got her for her birthday...
and my 55 gal rubber trough (the pond) got pride of place in a spot it can be listend to and enjoyed form the patio
still need a lot of plants...
since were having easter and amily Christmas next weekend im thinking of getting mum the other little ceramic light that was there its a little snail, and another rose, and mabe a small sheperds hook to hang a hummingbird feeder on neer the pond.
I figure ill work on it a section at a time...once that ones done theres a huge evergreen shrub to come out...that's NOT going to be fun, but that then reveals the section under the kitchen sink window...a spot I want to put 2 climbing roses, more floribunda/hybrid tea roses, mabe a hydrangea or lilac (or both) and lots of highly scented stuffs, ill probably bring some lavender and mints (in buried pots) since that area is full sun.
then the bed continues to a spot infront of the new oil tank got to figure out a way of working around it, need ot be able to easily get TO the tank but don't want to see it. so that's my challenge spot #2 and last is a small spot infront of the AC unit, another "need to hide it but still get to it" spot.
ive got a feeling this is going to be a season long project...and that's just the first...theres a big flower bed neer my door that's going to need plenty of TLC, then one up neer the barn that's large that I want to turn into an elderberry bed, and then one infront of the barn that currently ALL autumn joy sedum and rocks that I need to fix, ill probably dig some of the sedum out to bring down to the main bed too
in fishy news my tank is loking awesome hoping to add my angels nextmonth, got buns due at the beginning of may...going to set my bird cages up with nst boxes...need to candle my goose eggs, so def keeping busy.
and ive been relitivly pain free for the past week! YAY!
