COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Morning all I'm up and at em early this morning for one of my herping adventures. I've had a goal to observe a box turtle this year, and morning or after a good rain is the best time to find them. I see people finding them all the time on the forum but sadly I have not seen one here in GA in some time . Hope you all have a great day and good luck on your matches.

Good luck on your adventure. Hope it is successful. [emoji16]

Good luck on your herping adventure.... Is your plan to drive all around back woods roads, or actually go to an area where you think they might be. Good luck.

Thanks! I've got permission from several land owners out in the country and I usually search open fields next to woodlines, or near lakes and creeks. Today I'm actually on my way to Chattahoochie National Forest.

I have caught up to myself. Which normally means i have caught up [emoji16] It is a cold overcast day here today. And I wanted to take the torts out for some sun today. Well that is not going to happen today unless it clears up[emoji53]. Yesterday i did not do so well with the pain tablets as i woke up with a headache and i tried not taking anything. But it turned into a migraine which i really really cannot handle. So i gave in. Today we try again and see how it goes. At least I am at home and can ly down if i don't feel so good. My babies will need an extra long soak today as i couldn't soak them last night as i would normally do. ( sigh) but I am sure they are fine. Sounds like everyone is set to have an awesome weekend. I am planning to have a totally relaxed one with absolutely nothing that needs to be done. So ciao for now and not chat later.

Oh dear. I hope your head clears soon. This may be part of the caffeine detoxification that’s causing the headaches.

Enjoy your day

Bonjour from Calais - the closest port to the UK; it’s only 20 miles from Dover.


JoesDad and I have purchased “a little” wine and cheese and a few other essentials and are now enjoying a light lunch


The Brown Crab was amazing! One of the meatiest I’ve had.

Thought I'd share some postcard pics for you all of today's adventure. Yesterday someone told me to "Take a hike" so I did . The first two pics of the waterfall and river is one of the sites they filmed the movie "Deliverance" don't worry I didn't hear bangos! ( @Maro2Bear if you look on the rocks you can see some kayakers taking a break) This is Yonah mountain in North ga. Yonah is the Cherokee Indian word for "bear". There is an old tail about this place.
From wikipedia:
Yonah Mountain is the site of a Native American legend about a beautiful Cherokee maiden named Nacoochee who fell in love with the Chickasaw warrior Sautee. When their love was forbidden by the tribal elders, a war party followed the eloping lovers and threw Sautee off the mountain, with Nacoochee then jumping to her death, a Lover's Leap.

Very coolpix and your weather conditions look great . Very dark and overcast up here today, and soggy and wet....even unseasonably chilly too. Yes, saw the kayakers, very nice.

Thank you Lyn. And who is on No 2 and 3 ??????

Thanks Linda. The headache is gone today. Thank goodness. So we are back on track today.[emoji16] Hows the shopping going?

 

[Bee62]

Sounds like the perfect medicine for the two of you!!
But until that can be arranged I hope your treatments help relieve your health problems.

Thank you Lyn. Actually I have pain again and I can often hardly sit on a chair in front of my computer. It is annoying me much.

Good morning all. It's a tennis day today. It's been kne every day this week as I havebeen watching it on television, but today I am heading up to Queen's in west London to watch it live

@Bee62 Sabine your latest song was beautiful. I did have a think and 3 came to mind... Queen's "Love of my !ife", or "Who wants to live forever" and Elton John's "Your Song" ... I'll let you choose as I can't make my mind up

Dan I do hope your meds kkck in quickly and effectively. We do worry about you

@JoesMum
Hello Linda, it will take some time with your choose because these songs are not ones of my "daily" repertory but I will work on it .....

What an awesome hike. Love the postcards. Sooo did you find the turtle you were looking for?

Oh that’s not good

Electronic hugs Sabine; I hope you’re buzzing again soon. x

No not today just a few frogs, and storms are rolling in.

We've been in a pretty typical summer weather pattern here lately. Hot and steamy in the am, pop up thunderstorms in the pm.

That is not good Sabine. I hope you get better soon.

Pen pal? Visit old people in their old people's home? Volunteer at an animal shelter? See if there's a stable nearby where she can volunteer to help with the cleaning chores? Bake cookies together then make ice cream sandwiches? Visit the beach? Make a fort out of cardboard boxes? Make a list, then send her on a scavenger hunt? Make a safe fire in the backyard and roast hot dogs? Get a kiddie pool and fill it with water, then make paper boats and blow them on the water through a straw? Visit the fire station? Go rock collecting, then clean them up and paint them using poster paints? Bake cupcakes in ice cream cones then decorate them? Make bird feeders by covering pine cones in peanut butter and rolling in bird seed? If you have a Lowe's or Home Depot in your town, take a kid's workshop? Have her try to figure out what kinds of things she can do with a brown paper bag?

Woho ! So many ideas ! I loven them.
