Heather, I'm impressed that you can manage coffee + treadmill in the morning!
Me too!

Check them out on the net. They are very much real!!! We have rescued a few of them and rehabbed them back into the "wild" around where we live in Coopers Hill. They make the most extraordinary kind of noise too, apart from their hilarious appearance! Kind of like a cross between a squawk and a belch.
Wind is still howling, trees crashing to the ground all over the place. Hopefully, power stays on and we get through this wind storm in the next few hours.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
I can’t figure out if I think they’re cute or not!

Japanese magnolia put out a couple blossoms that opened today.

Elsewhere in the front yard (garden, for you Brits), there are a couple blooms on one of the azaleas. Pretty flowers, but firmly on the Do Not Feed to tortoises list.
Any time you get camellias and azaleas blooming at the same time, you know Mother Nature is a bit confused.

Oh, and this is a bunch of weeding I didn't get to this weekend because I was sick. I'm going to pot up the young ferns and replace the old ones (from last year) in the box turtle's indoor enclosure.
There's plenty more to put in Junior's future outdoor enclosure, and in pots for porch decorations, and... Well, you get the idea.

I don’t think I saw it but sometimes pics or videos won’t load at home because of my metal roof[emoji35]..

Wonderful! We are a good month or more away from Azalea bloom time..
Stay safe my friend [emoji50]
Thanks.

There are small native violets on one side of my front yard. They're too sweet and pretty to consider them weeds.

The azaleas jumped the gun (again) this year. They really should have waited a few more weeks.
I have them blooming here too!!!
I was watching Inside Eddition tonight and they had a story on there about a tortoise. This tortoise somehow trapped a German Shepherd in its burro. Inside Edition said the tortoise uses the burro to hybernate in the winter! This is a 80 lb Sulcata . Evidently, the owners and the show did not know they don’t hybernate. This was based out of Ca. They had to call the fire department to get the tortoise to come out of the burro and let the dog out. I thought it was interesting that they said it hibernates in the winter.
Today during our on-going big windstorm I removed “the bowl” from the lathe, removed the metal faceplate, and sanded down the very bottom glue block (how one attaches the chunk of wood to the lathe). Applied a few coats of stain and will be waxed up one last time tomorrow.
In the meantime, our postman delivered a box with four nice black cherry chunks that might be the next Bowl project x 4.
And, while waiting for the stain to set, I started to work on a little project to hold some tools at hand.
Probably enough for one day..
