L...... some of the damage inflicted on our Banana Peppers by White Tailed deer.. On the Jalapeno peppers...they ate off all the tops, with flowers...

On the bright side of things, while i was taking this pix, a Ruby Throated Hummingbird visited our feeder..

I noticed that they left the jalapeno's. I wonder if the leaves have a hot flavour to them as well?

Good evening all. A very brief visit to electronic hug anyone who's around.... I'll leave a few extra hugs in corner 4 in vase anyone needs another :)

Mark the shed is looking great and I am very jealous about hummingbirds!

The next few days are kind of busy... somehow we need to find somewhere for Son to live when he starts his job. There's not much time and a lot happening; diaries need rearranging!

And I have an all day meeting on Thursday. I got about 40% of the paperwork done today, but must complete the rest tomorrow... it's data analysis and numbs the brain :(
Oh dear. Sounds like it is going to be hectic. Good luck as I think you are going to need it.

And just to add to the business, we are having a couple of days of high temper on my Moderator forum (@Yvonne G will know what it’s like)

I don’t know if it’s the weather, the impending football match, it being close to the summer holidays or what, but some are behaving worse than sulky teenagers!!!! * sigh *

Good morning Carol and everyone else!

Here’s a cute dormouse picture sent by daughter yesterday. Unusually, it’s actually awake. They’re very laid back and don’t mind being handled even though you need a licence to do so because they’re so scarce. Normally, they sleep through everything!

That little mouse is so cute.

And it is probably all of the above re the tempers. Pity you can't put them all in a time out in a dark corner. I am sure we can find a couple of corners here for sulky adultteens!! And they should be far enough away from each other that they cannot carry on fighting. We could even leave a note for the Woolspider (if she exits) to give them a good scare into behaving themselves.:D:D

Hmmm. What do you think the wool spider (if she exists) charges for cross forum disciplinaries ?! :D

Hey all, day off today and I really need it. Been doing 12hr days and on top of that my father is in the hospital. So it's been hectic lately, haven't had to much spare time. @CarolM Happy birthday! I haven't got to try the gelatin recipe yet, but I saw @Bambam1989 tortoise biscuit idea and I think there's a better shot at Murphy eating that then Jello so I may try that. I hope everyone has a good day today. I'm going to go watch the soccer game at the hospital with my dad and other than that it's just going to be a day to relax!

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope he recovers quickly.

And thank you for the tip off. The problem with birthday notifications is that they don’t show in the app!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROL!!!!! [emoji322][emoji512] [emoji253][emoji4]

Well, I spent a lot of time on the computer this a.m. looking at freezerless refrigerators, and that made me late fixing the tortoises' morning rations. Then I came back onto the forum because standing all that time preparing the food gave me a back ache and I needed to sit for a few minutes. This means it is now 10:22a (I usually feed about 7:30a or 8a), 89F (the 'F' stands for freaking) degrees and I really don't want to go outside. Besides that, I have an aching thumb. Don't know what's wrong with it - maybe carpel tunnel of the thumb from chop, chop, chopping up all those greens for baby tortoises? Can someone please give me some sympathy? :(
You have all my sympathy, even without hurting thumbs, everytime !:)

Best of luck too for you and your dad. Hope not too serious.
