One More Time

I don't know what is going on with Blogger but I guess it doesn't like this computer.  So, last blog was about the new puppy.  Got as far as putting up the picture and again with the "error on page," which btw, I am getting again.

New puppy came with the name "Pebbles" but it was quickly changed to "Minnie Mouse."  If she were a he it would have been changed to "Mighty Mouse."  She attacked our youngest Pitbull, Tyson.  And, I do mean "attacks!"  She grabs his throat and tries to shake him.  She bites him on the lips.  Nips his nose.  Jumps on his head if he lays down.  AND, when they play chase, IF she catches up to him she bites him on the hiney!

Did I mention she weighs about 4 pounds and he weighs 85 pounds?  Evil pitbulls, doncha know :)

So, on the homestead front I am repotting my marionberries and raspberries.  We are fixing the place up to sell.  We've found we aren't mountain people and the ocean is calling us.  We love fresh seafood and by the time it gets up here, well, who knows, if you know what I mean.  It has been a 10 year experiment but try as we might, it just isn't us.

I need to repot my roses.  I need to pot irises.  I need to slip the grapes and the blackberries.  I'm also going to pot some young strawberries to take with us.  Then I need to find some giant pots and dig up my redwood trees so we can take them back down to the coast with us.  In 10 years they have only grown a few inches.  At their age they should have grown a foot a year.  They aren't happy up here either.  Oh, and my lilac.  It has some shoots coming up and I'm going to dig them out and pot them also.

Shouldn't be hard finding a buyer since we are in the Emerald Triangle and we have "gold."  As in water.  A good well that doesn't run dry in the summer (the norm up here is running dry for two to three months each summer) and two creeks.  And, we're on a private road.  Not a lot of traffic which is nice for anybody.  Along with good hunting -- deer, rabbit, quail, wild turkeys, wild hogs, bear.  Hunters paradise!  3 lakes within 45 minutes to an hour.  Two rivers with great fishing.  And for folks into snow sports, Mt. Shasta is only 2 hours away.  The only thing it doesn't have is my ocean :)
