Say you collect turtles. The older they get the more expensive they are. You will earn many astonished people faces.Over the weekend some soccer moms some how got on the subject of pets and I told them I had 5 tortoises and I got all the silly questions!
Why?
What do you do with them? What do they do?
How long have you liked “turtles?” They are not turtles[emoji51]
Etc!!
Glad someone changed the subject !
Fixed that for you

Your banana tree looks great and the color of the hibiscus too.Hot and humid , yes again, like a broken record. Like Germany and the UK, grasses and flowers and fields are browning out.. no water, baked by the daily sun and high temps.
But...thanks to my five gallon bucket, our banana trees are loving the heat. Note the relatively small container i keep them in.
Each Fall, i lug this pot back into our garage to keep from freezing.

What is the vlei ? A kind of lake or swamp ? I can hear birds in your video. Beautiful sundown btw.Went for a walk and took some pics of the vlei. Sorry couldn't get close up of the birds. But also took a video so hopefully you can hear them.

There will be no money left for painting the house green after the lettuce runs I have to do.....Nah. As long as you don’t paint your house the color of lettuce...
I am sorry for you to read your bad news about your daddy. Often after one stroke there follow another ones. That is sad.He's not doing to great. He had another stroke while in the hospital a few days ago. He's pretty much bed bound now. Physical therapy has to get him up to walk and even with help he can only manage a few steps. We are trying to get him placed in a good rehab but since he's thru the Veterans Association there's limited options. We're hoping he can walk and be somewhat mobile on his own again after some rehab. Most likely not going to be able to live by himself again. Me and my brother have been super busy trying to take care of things.
Love that pic !Here's a better pic of me and Murphy.View attachment 245414
The Rondevlei is not by me. And we definitly do not have any hippotomuses. This would be more applicable to the area where I stay:What is the vlei ? A kind of lake or swamp ? I can hear birds in your video. Beautiful sundown btw.
Ahh, I found the answer to my question:

What a nightmare !Ya sometimes he scares me. One time I woke up in the middle of the night and he was standing at the foot of my bed holding a picture of a banana with the words "Or else" written underneath it
Yes, but slow. It takes a long time to heal. Nasty virus don`t want to give up...Thank you for asking and thinking of me.Any progress with the cure, Bee?
I understood.You normally pick up verrucas in damp places like the bathroom, so the water infected the lawn...
Oh never mind. The humour or the language doesn't translate across borders
Can imagine that this steel mesh wasn`t strong enough for a big cat.OK, New update on the Jaguar escape episode.
Zoo officials released a photo of where Valerio bit through steel mesh, creating an 8 inch by 10 inch hole (20 x 25 cm), squeezed through, exited onto the roof of the enclosure then jumped down onto the ground. The animals' enclosures are inspected EVERY NIGHT, so it turns out, he DID d this in one go. The Jaguar exhibit is closed and will remain closed until they can get newer, stronger mesh with smaller holes to use for the enclosure.
He was first spotted roaming at large by a keeper bringing food to another enclosure at 7:00 am Saturday. By 7:20, the zoo staff had surrounded him; some were armed with dart guns, others with rifles having live ammunition. He was hit with a dart at 7:26 and shortly afterwards appeared to be feeling the effects, so he was shot with a second dart. After the 2nd dart, he lay down and went to sleep around 7:43am. They were able to move him to a secure location. After removing him, they started finding the dead and injured animals. While he was sedated, he was fully and carefully examined by the zoo vet to make sure he had not sustained injury.
He's being kept in isolation for now.
The second image below is from a slide show of the escape to the press and local authorities. The actual hole is much smaller than it appears on the screen behind the zookeeper.

Thanks Bee and everyone else for your kind words and support. I have the day off and am at the hospital again with him right now. We did manage to get him into the best rehab facility the VA offers. He's supposed to be moved today so I'm staying till that happens. He doesn't seem depressed about the situation but honestly he's not quite there mentally like he was before yet. I'm not to sure he is aware of the totality of the situation. He keeps talking about things he's needs to do when he goes home today and we keep having to remind him he's not going home as of yet.I am sorry for you to read your bad news about your daddy. Often after one stroke there follow another ones. That is sad.
I can imagine that he is depressed from this situation.
Is there a good rest home where you live ? Would the Veterans Association pay for such a home for your daddy?
I send you a big electronic hug and another for your daddy. It seems you have to make some difficult decisions soon.
They look really dangerous !Ever since the jaguar incident, my husband has been trying to convince me our cats are plotting against us! When one of them walks in the room he'll say, in a stage whisper, "Don't turn your back!!!"
Yeah, like they look soooooo dangerous!!!! (Monty is the grey one and Julio is ginger)

Good luck, Todd. Hopefully the strokes haven`t affected his brain because he talks of coming home. The rehab will be good for him me thinks.Thanks Bee and everyone else for your kind words and support. I have the day off and am at the hospital again with him right now.
