Yay!!!!! Let me check for the tickets! Oh, THAT much??? Oh dear
If I do manage to come someday, Yvonne, please don’t clean the house or the tort yard on my account. But you could make a pie or something for the tea. Would never say no to that!

And back from a morning”s paddle. Lots of Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks, large flocks of I think Buffle Heads, and two small flocks and some single pairs of Tundra Swans. These swans have massive wingspans, and require a long runway to get airborne.
Here’s one pix...

Well, I suppose you could fly to the East Coast of the U.S., and we could make a road trip from there...stop in Louisiana, Texas, and Arizona on the way...Yay!!!!! Let me check for the tickets! Oh, THAT much??? Oh dear

I get the feeling you might have to fly up north first... Pick up a few more regulars...
Yes Tidgys dad is still sticking his head out now and then. Even when he doesn't have enough time. Your tortoise count is the first thing I see when I open the tortoise forum thing on my home screen. I'm so happy to have found this place because it's really helping me understand what I'm doing right. But more important what I'm doing wrong. I read every question from new members because the messages from older members helps me just as much as it does them....and the cold dark room can get really interesting...Ahhh, you meant the thread about all tortoises we have on TFO. That was me who started the thread and yes, it seems that some people are unwilling to count ....
Brumating is the right word for what Tidgys dad did now.

I don't think I've heard the story behind the penguins... @Bee62 Sabine, how did Silly and Willy come about?
Now, I do have a tuxedo cat (the one Loki's offspring adopted and trained) named Whoosh. It's possible he's that dark blur chasing after the Wool Spider (if she exists). If she does exist, I think he wants more cat toys...

The CDR is a great place to hang out... We span the globe, so there's almost always someone awake and online.

Now don't give the geese any ideas about drinking... Especially during nesting season. They're not allowed to take up outside our bar...
The interesting thing about kayaking the same general areas time and time again is that, like with many things, it’s always changing. Sun, rain, wind, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. High tide, low tide. Lots of birds or none. Clouds a plenty or none. People on boats or none or some. Tomorrow brings high winds coupled with arctic temps, we won’t know what’s around the bend.
Speaking of bends. This big old log recently floated here and is now stuck on this little peninsula. There are even markings every few feet where beavers have made an attempt to chew this thing up.

I think that's why no one wants to count. Sorry Sabine. I don't know if I can count that high and I'm hoping and praying I can't.
I think flying lessons and renting a plane might be the cheapest way to go. Looking forward to our visit!Well, I suppose you could fly to the East Coast of the U.S., and we could make a road trip from there...stop in Louisiana, Texas, and Arizona on the way...

Cool. If you have a warm day the turtles have diving board.

Oh, that reminds me... Loki's first litter (of four) all have the same baby daddy, and she picked out the most gorgeous tomcat in the neighborhood. Big, fluffy, blue eyes, flame point... Looks like the Great Abominable Snow Kitty...who lives in Florida, no less!
Back then, Loki was a feral outside cat, and we put food out on the front porch for her. Her suitor would occasionally drop by to share some of the cat food on the porch. There was one opossum that liked to come up onto the porch after dark for the cat food. It was big enough that most cats gave it a wide berth. Until one evening...
When Loki's great big fluffy Behemoth Casanova of a tomcat..... made the opossum back down. At night. From the food. From the porch. He did the unthinkable, and he didn't have to use his claws or teeth to do it, either.
This would be the sire of Dragon, Cattley, Wampa, and Pixie.
Yea it could get really slippery from snow and ice...and all the other crap. Canadian geese have decided they love Ohio...even in the winter.Now don't give the geese any ideas about drinking... Especially during nesting season. They're not allowed to take up outside our bar...
Yes. I think Yvonne G's cats just like her. And when the cats are away the opossum will eat the leftovers. Along with the raccoons etc...

Apparently we DO have beavers in North Florida, but I've never seen one, myself. Not sure if I'd believe the person who told me, except it was a wildlife rehab veterinarian, and the reported beaver was road kill, so I'm confident she got the identification right.
