Nope...I missed national leprechaun day. I thought the news said today and come to find out it's May 13th. I already found his pot of gold anyway... And my wabbit is another story. She's sassy and tells me off with her ears.

Good Wednesday everyone. It looks like the CDR is starting to liven up a little bit. Nice!!! Another grey and overcast day today, but not much rain. At least it is the middle of the week so almost Friday. And since I have to live vicariously through you guys as far as adventures go, I cannot wait for the next one. Until later all, not see you soon.

Since we've talked about charity shops, here's a 3-minute tour of my house. :) Pretty much everything came from charity shops. And we have a lot of open space; had even more of it before the piano. Which will be most difficult thing to get rid of in June...

Thank you! I'm beginning to wonder if he picks up some of his expressions from the cats...:rolleyes: He's our first bearded dragon. I think he makes a good beardie ambassador to the rest of the family (he's everyone else's first beardie, too). His light coloration and expressiveness, coupled with his typically calm demeanor, make him more easily perceived as non-threatening.

We bought him from his breeder at the expo in Daytona last year. I knew we were getting a GREAT beardie because everything about his breeder FELT right. She's the type who worries every single time she ships one of her dragons, until they arrive safely with their new family at the other end. Her dragons weren't prepackaged in small containers, either. They were in big, deep, open top bins where they could move around, eat their greens, and make beardie poop on the paper towels on the floor of the bin (easy to replace and change that way). :)

That makes all the difference in the world!

Good mornooning, roommates! Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday from sunny(!) Denmark.

One thing I know I’m going to miss in North America are the old brick buildings of considerable age.

This is the Roskilde Cloister, currently a foundation providing housing to members of the Danish national church (i.e. Lutheran). A priory of Dominican friars stood here from the 13th century until the Reformation. Then it was torn down; the land became the Crown’s property. Later, a 1560 manor built here was converted into a monastery for unmarried Danish noblewomen, which became part of the building we can see today.

Also, this weekend we had a small music festival (the big one, the Roskilde Festival, is the largest music event in Northern Europe and takes place in July). In addition to regular stages scattered around the city, we had these:

Oh what fun. I would love to hear them play... I’m not aware of many musical festivals in theses parts... it’s a shame really.....

G’day all. Quick update on my Black Cherry Bowl Project.

Recap from a previous episode - started working on a nice piece of 6x6x3” Black Cherry with the aim of producing a nice wooden bowl. A little kayaking trip to North Carolina, coupled with a ton of Spring gardening chores, helped delay the project. Recent rain and cold temps provided a perfect opportunity to pick up the remains.

Today’s Episode - finished up hollowing out the bowl, multiple grits of sand paper, and a wee bit of cherry stain to enhance the grain. Future episodes include a buffing and light coat of protective bees wax.
