COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Brilliant pix of that Kingfisher! I’ve never ever been able to catch a good photo of one.

This one is impossible to take a bad photo of

The stick is his regular fishing perch and it’s about 8 yards from the window of the hide. As long as nobody is clattering about he is there fishing all day! It’s got to the stage where I recognise the stick now because I see photos of him from others so often

Wow, what a perfect day so far today. Based on the weather forecast, I planned to get out kayaking. Great decision...

Tons of geese, ducks, one wee fox, about five eagles, including one sitting on a nest now to hatch eggs.

Here’s one pix, before we head out to do some yard wo4k.

View attachment 284282 Two frilled dragons arrived at the RSPCA on Christmas Eve. I worked with them yesterday. Getting them out to clean their enclosures was... very interesting

What a pretty little flare up...trying to look scary.

[CarolM]

Merry Christmas Lyn. I was about to say the same to you. I hope you are feeling much better now.

I have been raising babies my whole life it seems... I am not going to be one of those grandparents that keeps kids all the time... if I ever get my son up n grown, people will not see much of me I think.
Now don’t get me wrong.... I love kids but at some point I think you should earn “time served” or something... lol

Oh I totally agree.

Our kids have fledged and now moan that we are never at home...

We told them that’s the general idea... we are doing what we can while we are young and fit enough to be able to!

From sunny days to rainy day blues... yucky out, cold and wet. The rainy day has provided me with some time to continue on my inside-out turning project...

Curiosity killed the cat..... but not me, I’m patiently waiting to see what beautiful item you’ve crafted now;-))
(Ok.. maybe not so patiently !!! Hahaaaa)

Geez..guess I haven’t missed much... Had to take Cinder for an unexpected vet visit.. she got very congested with fever and vomiting..she is on some meds and feeling fine now & other than hearing all the congestion, you would never know she had been sick.

Son & I ( and the dog) took a ride to Louisiana yesterday and spent the day with a good friend. It was stormy in the morning but cleared nicely so we were able to spend most of it outdoors. It was a nice change of scenery.

My time off is winding down... back to work Thursday:-(

Hello everyone! It's a cool morning here.
I'm sorry your pup was feeling under the weather Heather.
Our Grim has definitely made things livelier. His intelligence is absolutely amazing. He has been with us for less than 2weeks and will already sit on command, and walks on the leash well. His favorite game is to "Go get my shoes" where he grabs a sandal and runs around the house with it til I call him to bring it to me in return for a treat. Then I'll ask him to get me my other shoe, which he happily does for another treat... He does this so much I have to hide my sandals so he will stop for a bit.

It's hard to get a good picture of Grim when he is awake. He moves so much. I had to do some finger waving just to get this one.

You need to get Grim hooked on Jenga... look at this —->

I have taught my dogs to go to their room after they engage in innapropriate behavior. They usually already know and beat me to it!

Finished up a new little Snowman for the Snow Family... Big Daddy & Son in the foreground.

Cold, dark, rainy, overcast today.....depressing really. Ive already taken down most of our Christmas decorations! Leaving the exterior lights on for New Years Eve....but most everything else on their way down to the basement!

On the sunny side , ..i did look up some Winter kayaking locations.

It's been dark and overcast here for several days yet warm enough that even I don't need a jacket. What should be snow in Ohio in the winter is rain today and yesterday. It's supposed to turn cold but warm back up to the 50's by the weekend. As a child growing up Ohio had deep snows. I haven't seen one of those winters in decades.

That's funny. They probably like their room and misbehave on purpose. Razberri does the same with her cage/end table. If I need to go shopping, as soon as I put my shoes on she goes in...

LOL! Misty isn't crate trained (I don't have a crate big enough), but my bedroom is her 'safe' place. When I open the drawer to get my lipstick prior to going shopping Misty goes into the bedroom and lays down behind my recliner.
