I just noticed Bold basking on the artificial log in the mud turtle enclosure. I would try to get a picture, but I'm pretty sure Bold would just take to the water as soon as I made a move.
Schleich makes some lovely pieces. I have some of their animals and a handful of fairy /elf related figures around here... I had miniature gardening in mind when I got them. That was before the turtles...Good mornooning, roommates! A lovely, cold, sunny day here by the looks of it.
I’m meeting with someone to pick up some Schleich elves as a surprise for daughter; then we’ll do the Last Day of the winter break.
Have a couple of great ideas for our activity of the day.
For example, she could sit in front of the TV and I could nap??
I don't recall seeing any mimosa trees in the UK, but there could be a few someplace. I always loved the pink cherry blossom petals in early spring... Followed soon by long, hanging yellow laburnum flowers. Cherry trees don't read their potential in the southern U.S., and laburnum is toxic. Oh, but the trees lining some of the streets around Leeds were absolutely gorgeous!I don't know of any mimosas in the area but will look out for them.
I just googled them and in the US they are on a 'do not grow list' because they have become 'an aggressive invader'.
I don't know if that makes them illegal or not though.
I keep telling myself the Schleich figurines will be discovered at some point, when someone wants to do a photography project around here...How’s your boy today?
She’s not into Schleich yet, but she liked cheaper ELC figurines, so I think she’ll love the higher quality product. And if not, I’ll play with them instead! [emoji85][emoji23]
Well, THAT should just about COVER it!
It is, as long as the cats let you sleep in a comfortable position.
I still haven't caught up from earlier this week, but has anyone heard from @Ray--Opo lately? Isn't he supposed to be having surgery today?
Owls are my favorite bird.Here are a few pics of the Short-eared owls that my cousin who I have never met took.
He was in the Shawagunk National Grasslands a prime place to photograph them. Which I think is in New York.

Too true! Each pod (and there are thousands on one tree) contains about 6 seeds and every single one of them sprouts. I have mimosa trees coming up all over my property!I don't know about legality, but in some places, mimosa trees are known to be invasive. Definitely invasive in some parts of Florida.
Owls are one of my favorites, too.Owls are my favorite bird.
Or the bodies.Is that all in the back for the luggage?? [emoji50]
Some of us would really like that. They're beautiful pieces to begin with, but they mean more when you know the artist.Thanks.... i should build up a small inventory of a few things and create an Etsy page. Secret discounts too!
So we went for a picnic. Parts of me that shouldn’t be mentioned in polite company got pretty much frozen off. And then we fed some of those animals that really use fowl language if you try to get close.

We fed them the good stuff, not bread!

Yup - although the taxi wasn't needed in the end because she managed to get hold of her son who fortunately had taken a key with him (for a change) so he was able to go home from work to let her in.Seriously?
Lovely! Do they usually hunt by day?Here are a few pics of the Short-eared owls that my cousin who I have never met took.

Some of our trees are covered with blossom already in my town, very pretty but a wee bit early I think!I don't recall seeing any mimosa trees in the UK, but there could be a few someplace.
