COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good mornooning, roommates! It’s sunny here, but with a promise of rain in the afternoon. We have a super-busy weekend ahead: two trips to Copenhagen, a play date, a kiddie birthday party... This is why I love Mondays! [emoji85]

Should be fun !
Except the kid stuff.
Which I guess is pretty much all of it.

 

[EllieMay]

Oh wow!! You didn’t waste any time!!
I’m so excited !!

I am wishing you the best of luck.. but also warning you.... it seems that when or if I even touch ANY kind of plant, it dies. I tend to heart beats & hubby does the foliage. (He’s gone right now or I would have got him to cut the pieces).. but it will make me feel really great if you can get one to root for you. I’ve boxed them up and will send out UPS later today.

I thought blind baking was wearing a blindfold and using your sense of smell (to tell whether you'd burnt your cakes/pies etc or not,) and your sense of hearing (for the smoke alarm)!

Don't be silly.
It's the bit of baking that occurs after you've peeled half a dozen onions and wiped your eyes with fingers covered in chili powder.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning Adam!

Good morning, Heather!

Good luck with the rooting process. Like torts, the right moisture and humidity is needed. Too much, they rot - too little they dry up! Fingers crossed.

Happy Friday all..

Almost jumped in the truck and went out kayaking again....but not since I have an all day trip scheduled for Saturday. Looks like everyone is busy singing, feeding squirrels, getting kids off to school, drinking heavily or wanting to, dreaming of fossils and stocking up.

Not sure how widely spread this “tree” grows.... but I’m sure many don’t see this type of fruit on their trees.. like the size of American softballs..

Any guesses? I’ll send the ID later... ogh....very humid here already...temps to climb to 93 ish.

Good morning, Mark!
Happy Friday.
That's an Osage Orange, I think.

 

[EllieMay]

Heather, I shared one of your pictures with an acquaintance of mine. Hope that’s OK. They have a baby Russian tortoise, and I was trying to explain how to soak him. You had a perfect illustration of that...
Proud if your girl too! Those baby squirrels didn’t look promising earlier. Just the fact that they’re still alive means she’s doing an outstanding job. [emoji173]️

Thanks Lena! Of course it’s ok. Glad to know something I did was helpful[emoji23]. Your weekend sounds like mine.. I have kiddie play date one day and teenager bday party the next. Sometimes I crave quite time so bad, I sneak off from work to see a movie all by myself!

Your weekend sounds terrifying.

Well done to your daughter!
She and they are doing well!

Good morning Lyn. Happy Friday to you!

I have those on my pasture! We call them horse apples but I don’t know the scientific name for them.
Love all your pics. Be safe tomorrow!

Good morning Lyn. Happy Friday to you!

Hi Heather - wishing you a fabulous Friday too!
Try to have a quiet day before the hectic weekend you have ahead.

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon one and all.
A very quiet day here for me today, just off for a walk later.
Lola still in bed so off to drag him from his pit for a soak.
Not see you later
TTFN

I thought blind baking was wearing a blindfold and using your sense of smell (to tell whether you'd burnt your cakes/pies etc or not,) and your sense of hearing (for the smoke alarm)!

And I couldn’t do blind baking. My sense of smell is much weaker than my sense of hearing in this case

 

[Kristoff]

HyperMarket time !!!!!

Drive through shopping?

Sure, I recognize it! It’s a ball stuck in the branches. Points?

Which is why I love Mondays. Or have I said that already?

Hope you don’t tell that to your boss...
Your weekend does sound very similar!
