Good morning CDR!!
Well, my husband left for China this morning for 23 days.
The contractor is done for now and I love my new walk in closet and our fireplace he did for us.
We had a nice family reunion Saturday and it was nice to see everyone. We smoked tri-tip and had a few sides.

Now, I need to get down to business and start thinking about my tortoise recipient gifts!

I’ll check in later!

I'd really love to see the finished fireplace.

I'm trying to catch up... and I'm also trying to locate a hatchling three-striped mud turtle (Bold) who decided to pull a Houdini on me, sometime after I left for work this morning. The other three-striped mud (Pinstripe) isn't talking. Then again, Pinstripe usually doesn't say much.

The yearling box turtle doesn't recall seeing the mud. I don't think she appreciated me digging her out from under her hide to ask her that question, either. She (Junior) doesn't care to be reminded that she is no longer an only turtle.

The cats don't seem aware of any 1.25"-ish moving rock. I asked the cats if they'd seen a turtle. I don't think they know what a turtle is. The turtles are supposed to stay in the bathroom where the cats aren't allowed. Unfortunately, a tiny turtle who's decided to go off-roading can fit under any door in the house. I have no idea where Bold ended up.

In some ways, it would be nice if the cats would all gather where the critter in question is, like they do with lizards, frogs, etc. Then it's pretty clear where I need to look. The cats aren't talking. Dragon got my hopes up earlier, but I think he was just practicing his singing.

Then cats are sneaky and loyal like that!!!

23 days without your hubby and a lovely brand new, empty, walk in closet... can you see my pattern of thought?

You have to go out shopping for TORTOISE and while you’re there... ;)

G’day All

Took advantage of a cracking Autumn day yesterday in our neck of the woods. Frosty start that quickly moved to big blue skies, puffy white clouds and #Sunshine all day long. I worked on dropping about a 60 ft high dead tree that was leaning precariously in our back garden. The top 1/3 was caught in among other trees so required many cuts to finally get it to drop.

Once dropped, cut up into splittable log wheels, moved to the wood shed for splitting. Yeah...

Happy Tuesday

Hey hey!!! That’s exactly what my hubby did too... except he managed to drop part of the tree on the new tractor.. thank goodness for insurance[emoji18] I am proud you men folk have been taking advantage of the cool weather for some upkeep chores:)

Good luck that you are able to find your little turtle. Even bigger tortoises can disappear outdoors in less than 5 minutes and are never seen again.:(
I've managed to lose my juvenile box turtle in her own indoor enclosure... too many times to count! It still happens occasionally, even though she's close to 3.5" now. Her enclosure is only a 55 gallon Rubbermaid tote... :oops: :rolleyes:

She's our Super Secret Special Ops Turtle!

I regularly lost Joe at 7lb and 10 inches in length. He just blended in with the background and was extremely difficult to find.
