Blooger Blackout of 2011. Did you Survive?

So did you survive the Blogger Blackout of 2011.

I did....barely, lol.

I love my blog, I also love checking on my blogs and I felt so lost. I can't tell you how many times I kept checking to see if it was back up.

I was so upset that I lost my blog post from yesterday, then poof, thankfully it is back. I was going to re-post it..but how to get the comments back. I thought I was going to copy the comments from my e-mails and then re-post them....is that a little obsessive? LOL.

Yesterday a truck pulled in front of our house and a man came to the door. I realized it was a friend of Ashley's dad. Cory (Ashley's friend) and Ashley have been really close friends all through College and now that they are both done, have remained close friends.

Well Cory's dad comes to the door and gives me a CD and tells me that its for Ashley. Then he hands me this beautiful hanging basket and tells me that this is for me.

Me? Why?

He said that he heard about my appointment the other day and Barbara (his wife) asked him to give me this. How sweet is this. I think a Thank You card is in order. I can't believe that they are so thoughtful. I have been smiling all day looking at them.

 I think we have a critter....hopefully its only one.
I think it may be a skunk. Groan. It is living under my work shop. I looked under the shed aka My Work Shop, and it looks like there may be a nest of some type. But I didn't see any glowing eyes.
I told hubby at night to put the spike boards in the hole so they don't go back in there. He put the board in before dark, so I am hoping they didn't get locked in. That is all we need a decaying stinky skunk under there. I want it out of there before it has babies.

 Here is more evidence.
It has been digging under the fence to get in the backyard. Hubby keeps putting rocks and some chunks of concrete to block the holes it made, where he found the chunks  of concrete is beyond me.

 Do you have these mutant squirrels where you live. He might look small, but he is the size of a small to medium sized cat.
I love all animals really I do (OK except for crows) but these guys scare me. Plus I have noticed we don't have any normal red squirrels around. And I can't tell you the last time I have seen a chipmunk around our area.
I think these bullies have scared them all away.

Thankful Thursday:
1. That I have such sweet and thoughtful people in my life.
2. Naps...always thankful for naps :)
3. Got me some creative time in
4. That spring is finally here :)
5. That blogger is finally up and running.

What are you thankful for today?
