Good morning!!

I wanted to share my new love!! Grandson #2, Julian Gray.

It’s been very emotionally draining around here.
We’ve attended 3 funerals in the past 3 weeks and I’m done!!
My husband is recovering from his back surgery and just started back to work this week.

My kids are back in school and my oldest has his driving permit and had his first driving lesson with a really nice lady.
I remember grumpy old men teaching us!

Both my kids are taller than me and I’m 5’7.

Trying to read here but haven’t participated [emoji20]

Aaaawwww, Julian is adorable. Congratulations Kathy.
Wowwee, shame you really have had a tough time. A very big Electronic Hug.
Here is too hoping that things improve considerably for you.

Thanks Yvonne !

I really miss you all too!! This is my second home !!

My tortoises are doing great and love their new enclosure. I just can’t grow anything in this summer heat! It’s hard starting from scratch.
I can’t wait for winter when I can plant some grazing seeds.
Don't worry winter is just around the corner.

Hello everyone haven't been on for a few days. It's bad when my painkillers don't give me relief. Now I need to get a few things ready for the hurricane. As of now one of the tracks take it right over us.
Not sure if I will leave and go to Georgia or stay and ride it out.
What ever I do Opo will be stressed because he will be out of his element.
Oh dear. Everything okay now? Or are you in the middle of it?

Good evenooning all.

I have been at the Rescue feeding birds today. The number of wood pigeons and collared doves has increased dramatically - they breed year round. The number of other baby birds is much smaller because their breeding season is coming to an end.

We have to new adult bird admissions... this Tawny Owl who goes fierce like this every time you approach and then turns into a softy as soon as she realises you have food

And this Common Buzzard who isn’t feeling too good at the moment, but now we have treated for a heavy parasite load he’s started eating too and will hopefully pick up quickly.

I’m certain Marge is a girl, her tail is very short and has a puckered cloaca unlike Patty and Selma who have a longer slit instead. Margo is a confirmed female.

Selma ermm .... seems to be in a romantic relationship with a certain rock in his enclosure..... my sister called the rock “Judy”

Now when I’m out I get text messages from my mum saying “ Selma is on a date with Judy” and you can guess what Selma is doing to that poor poor rock:eek:

Here’s a pic of Judy the rock. I personally don’t know what Selma sees in her. I’m going to wash my hands now:D
:D:D:D That is hilarious!!

This week Lola has decided he is only going to eat off one particular 'plate' in one particular place.
He has a variety of 'plates' and I like to spread them around his room so that he has to move around for it , but he has been ignoring all of it except for the pile I leave on what is an old chopping board.
When I move food to his current favourite spot he heads for it straight away and eats as if he is starving, but he will walk past all the other stuff.
Strange tort!!
Oh Lola, Lola, Lola!!!!!
