COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Our Spring-like temps are ending. Dark and overcast. Calling for high winds...rain....and more snow by Sunday night.

Hmmmmm. Indoor projects i guess

We have had a terrible week here with gales and rain, it's supposed to be quieter next week.

That's always been a worry of mine (falling in the shower). Sorry to hear you're still not up to snuff. Hope you get feeling better soon.

I have a stool to sit on in my shower at the moment as I can't stand, and it's an absolute godsend.
Getting in and out of a raised shower tray needs some thought but with the help of a chair to kneel on I manage OK

Progress today

I have two tricky gate areas to finish and the soak hole... then it’s just cultivating. I am making one of the gates myself.. got an idea off of Etsy and it’s way cheaper for me to make than buy. I’m saving that for the grand reveal

That looks so good you are a very clever lady Heather!

Much better to deal with tree trimming and removal in February, before the trees leaf out, and the leaves hide all the signs of damage and danger. It's easier to do maintenance on trees without the leaves in the way.

......and doesn't disturb any nesting birds!

There's a reptile shoe in Bakersfield today and I'm riding along with a couple of acquaintances to go take a look. I'll try to remember to take my camera.

Hope you are having/had a good day Yvonne.

I was gone for a few days because I found that leprechaun that owned me 20 bucks.
He didn't have a 20 so he lent me a horse.
So I have been thru the desert on a horse with no name.
I think it was a desert it was hot and dark. I hope that was sand hitting my face.

I love that song!

Yes....one massive sully soaking in the spa.

We FINALLY weighed The Sully Monster - 70.5 lbs with the box. So, a solid 70 pounds of Sulcata. This May Sully will be 5 years old.

If they came with handles, 70 lbs would be pretty easy to lift in and out of places. Hhhmmmmmm, I’m seeing a Sully Transporter invention on the horizon. I have the perfect audience to pitch and sell to. Discount of course for card carrying CDR officers.

You could call it a tort lift truck!

I slept in until 8:15!! I woke up before sunrise but made myself go back to sleep!

Yesterday my husband came home early and we put the top cap on the pond.

That looks great!

The screws attach the plate holding the bone together. They will stay with me forever now so I'll be setting off the metal detectors at airports if I travel.
Yes I've seen those - we call them knee scooters here and was thinking of hiring one but think a wheelchair will be easier for me just so I can get between the rooms at home and carry things on my lap, I can also use it for getting to appointments over the next month. My left foot is feeling the strain of all this hopping.

Sounds like you got a game plan.
Take care and heal fast.

Hello
I'm still around every now and then.
Nothing personal
In fact some of my very favorite members seldom leave the CDR.
The pond isnt very fancy. But what I had before was smaller and completely overgrown. I revamped it after @Pearly visited me because I was embarrassed about it.
I'm sure the fish appreciated it.

I'm sure they do like it, I'd be happy to have a pond like that for the frogs that moved into my garden.

Thanks Ray and I hope all goes well with your op on the 22nd too.

 

[Lyn W]

Well I'm (literally) just going to crawl up the stairs to bed now, so I hope to catch you all tomorrow.
The good thing about being stuck at home is that I'll have more time to pop in to the CDR.
So Nos Da for now and take care.

Sweet! Thanks!!!

The horse acted fine. He lost a rear leg after the infection set in from stepping on a rabid hedgehog. So I fastened on my prosthetic leg to the horse and we kept going. Good thing the horse was like 12 hands and my prosthetic leg is fairly long. It was a perfect fit

It was lonely and raining.
So it felt good to be out of the rain, in the desert you can't remember your name. Because there ain't no one for to give you a name.

I also came across a strip club. To my surprise it was ladies night and there was male dancers
I didn't stay but on my way out. I asked the bouncer what my name was
He said for 20 bucks he would tell me. I asked him if he was related to a leprechaun and got back on the horse with no name and rode away.​

See @Lyn W this is what happens to your mind when you're laid up in bed for to long

 

[EllieMay]

It looks great!

Thanks Lyn .. I sure miss all your posts.. I hope time flies for you until your recovery!

I think he wants to know what kind of accident you had.

She was hit by a car Ray.

 

[EllieMay]

Looks like he fancies his fish on crackers!

That's lovely and a good idea, although I suspect that my neighbours would go ahead and spray anyway if I put a sign like that up just to spite me.
It has all been quiet on the western front lately though, though I've yet to check the garden without both legs.

I wondered if you’d gotten lucky and they moved.. it’s been so quiet but with the ordeal your going through, they probably don’t have an opportunity to be donkeys.... I wish I was closer to you...

Hey Lyn, what was the reason for 6 screws? If you don't mind telling. I had 2 screws in my foot from the bottom up to fuse my ankle from rocking side to side. Have you ever seen the kneeling carts they have? You just rest your knee on it and grab the handle bars and scoot around pushing with your other leg.

She was crossing the street and a driver, not paying attention, hit her with his car.
