Oohh. We want pictures of the finished look.
If you need any help while hubby is away. Just ask. [emoji6]
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...
Well spotted, Linda! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I’ve dumped the crickets. Should I try to get them out of the trash can?

I think you'd miss the snow.
I went 10 years without it in Turkey! [emoji23][emoji23]
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...
She's our Super Secret Special Ops Turtle!
Shall I send you a magnifying glass — if you’re my TORTOISE recipient? [emoji23]

Nice.This is the temporary setup. No greenery for Bold to climb out on. I feel bad that Pinstripe is having to live in Spartan accommodations right now, even though it isn't his fault.

My Elsa once escaped into the neighbor’s garden AND dug herself in. Took me a while to finish that game of hide-and-seek.

My babies blend in so perfectly with the bark in the outside enclosure I often have to search high and low to try and find them.

Yes, they are! I even let Dragon accompany me into the bathroom after a couple hours searching for our escapee, so he could double check where I had already searched. He confirmed that I hadn't missed anything.
Dragon is one of the least dangerous cats to allow in the bathroom (supervised, of course). He's a big cat, but he seems well aware of his actual size. He isn't one to chew on plants, and he rarely knocks anything over by accident. Sure, he can be a brat and a bad boy, but he's a mama's Dragon.

Actually, that would be really cool! If you were my secret Santa...
And my Elsa, at 8 inches long, can go into Stealth Ninja Mode, too! Amazing hw they can seem to disappear right under our noses!
Here’s a portion of the log I worked on yesterday. All lined up for splitting and burning up.
Hello Lena. I am fine. Its getting colder in Germany too. Night temps are 1,7 C brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... Day temps around 7 C brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.Thank you. I know, the temps are not what I describe as “lovely”. But could have been worse... and will be!
How are you, my friend?
Better safe and spartanic than lost ....This is the temporary setup. No greenery for Bold to climb out on. I feel bad that Pinstripe is having to live in Spartan accommodations right now, even though it isn't his fault.

Okay I put it in your parcel---.... Upps, in a parcel, I meant.
Glad you got her back. In my childhood I had a tortoises that escaped out of my parents garden. Neighbors found her and brought her back to me. The neighbors owned tortoises too. My tortoise has crawled through 3 properties before she was found. Greek tortoises are very fast and active in summer !
