Well it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. So I guess the leprechaun figured he paid me in full. I was on a highway in the desert in the US. I have to say I agree with him. I've never seen a rainbows end since. Oh the things you see when you don't have a camera...
Very true.

I’m so sorry to read this... don’t let it get your mentality down because that’s half the battle... a very good friend of mine who is elderly, diabetic and high risk got it and he is fine now... you will get through this ! And I know that Maggie secretly sent you good vibes too ?.
It has to be an inspiration to know some survivers personally. The news focuses on all the bad. They rarely talk about the people that have recovered. I can't even imagine the consequences of the fear they are spreading.

Check out the free malware bug zapper called comodo. It was recommended to me during a cyber course a few years ago. Seems to work. They have a free version & an upgraded version (fee). We use the free version. No issues, no bugs or viruses.

Seriously, Malwarebytes is worth the investment. There’s a free version too, but for what Yvonne needs I would pay

I tried some chicken broth. Could eat much.
fell back to sleep for an hour.
mom just watching some Netflix and doing. Well trying to do some diamond painting.
fever 38.8. Gone back up
At least you tried so,mthing. It’s a shame you don’t have someone to run round for you.:( If there anyone who can leave meals/snacks at your door then do take them up on it. Even if it’s just cake that you can chew on when you fancy it

I’ve had to tell kids they can’t come home for couple week due to me being unwell. I’ve had Chloe in tears. But I’ve reassured her no matter what she’s home in couple week.
I glad I have you all too. And I can’t thank you enough ??
Hugs! That’s not easy news to deliver to children :(

So the buff Cochin rooster has a new home with 19 pullets so they can mature together. This is our Blue Copper Maran/deathlayer Mix. She is probably days away from laying. All the chickens were roaming the yard today and a bunch of fat flying beetles cam through at intervals with only a few getting through!

I did order Diet Mountain Dew, and i doubt that the One-Legged Pirate is guilty of stealing non-alcohol.
Are there still Leprechauns about?
The Leprechaun has been confined to a jellyfish tank for some time. He sneaks out periodically, but the wool spider (if she exists) is doing a grand job of getting him back :D

Out kayaking a marshy creek area just south of Baltimore this morning. Our group of three paddled to the very end (beginning) of this marshy swamp. We hit it right at high tide so the area was flooded and we were able to paddle deep into some pretty remote areas, FULL of wild plants all in bloom. Many types of Rose Mallow, Rose of Sharon, Cardinal Plants, Joe-Pye and more.

Good evening all. I have been back at the rescue for the third time this week.

This young Song Thrush graduated from Nursery to a pre release aviary today, but not before she managed a record 10 mealworms in her beak :D

Tomorrow JoesDad and I are taking two Kestrels ( small birds of prey) from the rescue to the Hawk Conservancy Trust in Hampshire. It’s a long drive in the heatwave we have currently, it’s been 35C/95F today, but the car is air conditioned. We have decided to make a day out of the trip :)

Yes. It's sad that I could have a neighbor across the street going through so much and I wouldn't know. Even though I know them they might feel bad asking for help. We're all maybe too afraid of offending each other when it comes to that kind of thing.

We have a Whatsapp group for our street. When we were confined due to daughter’s illness, I asked for help and got it. I was able to cook for usall, but I couldn’t shop for groceries. We were very lucky

I keep meaning to post this website for “growers” but they have a great variety of grow tents, lights & more.

That's actually a good idea. Our own little block but we'd have to include the next block also. We have a two block area that kinda keep an eye on each other but maybe not close enough.

Well you'll have a choir at 3:30 am soon. I always like to hear the young ones. It's hilarious listening to the practice sessions.?
