More garden, lawn and tree work today. I still need to go in the back garden and strim the edges where I cut grass.
I used up additional time today working on the second downed pine tree.
  • Need to make hay while the Sun dhines = cut the largest trees first with the new sharp chainsaw blade.
Oh me oh my! No wonder you'd love to move to Florida. Where I was there wasn't much yardwork in the winter...and in the summer it was flooded. So at least not much mowing. Just an occasional hurricane that might down a tree or 2. But really not quite as bad as what goes on further north. Tornadoes...what I loved about Florida was the blue sky! The swamp noises in the summer. The simplicity of the people. The wildlife. The somewhat isolation because of the small numbers of people in the area that I lived in. You can drive for miles and not see another car. It was hard to get used to even with my background but I grew to love it.

Just food coloring... I bought a purple duck and a green duck when my daughter was younger. They were just white ducks all grown up.. I think more and more states are getting away from it because people worry about the animals safety.
I can imagine. But still very surreal for me, as I had no clue you could do that. I have never seen it done before.

You sure are industrious.

Yes it is however the hunters pretend they are trail hunting but buy fox urine from abroad and deliberately lay the scent in areas where they know there are foxes and then they say that they can't stop the dogs. They also have thugs who go and dig out a fox den so that any parents and cubs get killed by the dogs.
The police know it is going on but rarely prosecute and some police forces side with the hunters. There are lots of groups called saboteurs who try to disrupt the hunts in a peaceful way.
That is so sad.

A late hello from me to everyone in the CDR.
Happy Weds to those still in the middle of it and Happy Thursday to those of us who have just started a new day.
Lola has ventured out further into the garden and for longer today.
He stopped to eat some clover but wouldn't lie down and bask. He preferred to wander in and out of his room, so he has had a lot of exercise and spent quite a bit of time in the sun today.
I've learnt its best to leave him to his own devices because if I put him out he just panics and rushes straight in - silly tort!
Oh Well done Lola.

Thanks Lyn!! Hope Lola is well and getting more courageous by the day for you! You getting around even better now? Think you’ll be ready for the school year?
Hi Heather, I would be better if I had at least 1 good leg, but I am getting around and trying to do more walking.
All being well I hope to start back to school on a phased return in a couple of weeks - that's where I do one day to start then build up to a full week. Outdoor activities are a no no for the rest of this school year :( Still waiting on my knee xray results though.

Good morning all - another week has flown by.
It's a beautiful morning here so hopefully Lola will venture out again for a blast of uvb even if he is doing the hokey cokey and going 'in out, in out, and shaking it all about it about' !!!
Hope everyone has a good day - not long till the weekend:)

Well the phased return sounds great! I’m sure you miss teaching and hopefully that will give you a good uplifting feeling! I’m keeping my hopes up for good X-ray results for you!
