COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

You should think of making your pics public ( not only in the CDR ). They are so beautiful like postcards you can buy and the colors are so natural and clear. You are having a great hobby ( kayaking ).

I am envious looking at the calm, cold water on your pics. I want to swim...

Thanks! I try not to post tooooo many of any one outing. Try to capture the keel of the day’s paddle.

Rain.... we are finally getting rain here today! Calling for steady rain today, tomorrow, and for the rest of the week. We can use it.

Speaking of rain...i see that Sweden is experiencing worst drought in 74 years with fires too.

I think today is the 19th consecutive triple digit weather day (F, not C). The record here for consecutive days is 21 days. It's so hard to get anything done when it's that hot. Today I wanted to move the baby desert tortoises outside, then move a different indoor enclosure over to the spot cleared by that move. I got the CDTs set up outside, but moving things around in the house, even with the cooler turned on, caused me to sweat profusely. But I got it done. I'm not going to worry about cleaning up the mess I made until tomorrow morning when the house is cooler. I think today is a two shower day!

I will be travelling alone. It is 5 hours with breaks, I should be OK. If it takes longer because I need more breaks then so be it

That is a good plan. Lets hope it doesn't take too long.

Thank you! Most often it’s a pain I the &** to maintain but I’m proud to have the ability to get my kids outside and support my “zoo” habits. It wouldn’t bother me one bit to never leave my house and the older I get, the worse that gets.. If I ever make it to retirement, I could well become a hermit!

Lol. I'll come retire by you and help you run your zoo.[emoji6]

Good morning everyone! Beautiful morning here to get outside and have your coffee.. brother is coming to visit today so I’m going to try out the bread pudding recipes then maybe spend some time on the lake with the kids!

So...... I can’t ever just use a recipe.. I used 3 I’ll say it was a success though I’ve never had it before. My brother was also very approving! I made the bread pudding with a rum sauce.. then after I tried it, I added some peaches under my slice. I think I’ll cook it that way next time! Thank y’all much!!

 

[EllieMay]

Lovely ! Are these two horses yours ?
The house looks great too. Would you please post more pics ?

They are! Huge love of mine. The paint I have raised and trained from a colt and she was 11 this year. The palomino I rescued a couple years ago after my childhood mare passed on and he is MY baby now.. Yes mam I sure will. I’ll take a walk for you when I get my son down for nap. I have a 15 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son... lol .. and LOTS OF PREMATURE GRAYs!!!

......and PIX of the new plants for sure. Have fun buying plants.

I couldn't find a mulberry tree. But I bought myself a lemon tree and Almond tree. There is not very many leaves on the almond tree but it had lots if buds on it which is why i chose that one. Then i also bought new substrate for my torts.
