Good Tuesday All.
For a change I have been busy. Which was nice. So this is the first opportunity that I have had to come online. I have 15 minutes to go before I have to leave to go home, then it is the normal daily routine of sorting out supper etc. My torts are still wary of their new top walkway. So far only Rue has gone up, that I know of and then she did not want to come down. Lol. Hopefully today when I get home I can see if they have used it some more. There are a few more tweaks that I will need to implement, and then I am hoping that the gang and I will all be happy.

It's not an old fashioned pump, but did you see the pond that one of our members in China recently put together? He used a small kiddy swimming pool, but the return water flows through a PVC pipe that is attached lengthwise along the rim of the pond, , capped on the end , with multiple holes drilled along its length. It looks pretty nice the way the water shoots out the holes.
Yup, Tony is still my resident meany. But he seems to be settling. Doesn't seem to want to fight as much. Still fights, but not as often.
Goodness. Stay cool. A lemonade? [emoji23]
Would love some pictures of the snowdrops next time you run into each other. Especially if they run into you [emoji33][emoji33]
I didn’t see it. I’ll look in the turtle section.
Me singing! Lol. That would be unheard of. [emoji23][emoji23] (I’d never do that to my roommates.)
Hope you return with some pictures.

We're supposed to have rain or showers for the next week or so. The reservoirs are mostly three quarters full and the snow pack (where we get our water from) is very good. So it looks like this will be a good summer as far as water is concerned.
@Maro2Bear your pictures are beautiful, and I would love to walk in those woods, but I'll take my mild winters anyday over your frozen ones. I don't like being cold (says she as she sheds clothing because the wood stove is cooking her).
I hope all you sickies are getting well. I wonder what's going on with @JoesMum . She said she's feeling better, then went silent.
Well, time for me to go prepare tortoise food. Later. . .

I found it. He did a great job!!
Happy Tuesday everyone! All the projects I’m seeing in here has inspired me... I had promised myself that I would have a permanent outdoor enclosure ready for Toretto by spring but I couldn’t make up my mind where it would be or what I would use for fencing, etc.... His growth rate has really pushed me into action (and the sale Lowe’s ran on treated lumber) .. so Yesterday I went and bought supplies. Got a few more things today in between clients.. I didn’t manage much actual work yesterday but unloading that dang trailer was plenty. I also got the poles cut and a whopping 2 holes dug [emoji23]... Anyway... it’s progress. I should end up with around 2500+ square feet. It’s not actually a square area so I don’t know how to get the right measurement.. I’ll post pics when I really get going.
Building pens has always been a lot of fun for me. Once I had them all built I was sort of at wits end wondering what I should be doing now.
Yay!! Sounds like a great project!!

I understand that.. I can’t be idle at all! I saw that you are not accepting any more tortoises this year. Have you many left to rehome still? I know that Dudley is “yours”... do you have others that are your pets? Did retiring leave a hole in your schedule? Sorry, I’m so nosy
