I think you're right, us adults are far less easily pacified and distracted!They have headed back to Michigan. But the last few days here he only wore socks.
I wish I still was resilient. I guess as you get older you lose that![]()

It’s for the storage of photos or videos... I guess if you needed to go back and look at something that happened yesterday, you could with subscription... you could do that with the SD card as well but right now, I have neither and I still love it. I can only look live or screen shot my live view for photos though. About an hour ago, I’d had Toretto in the tub for his soak and poo, then I took him outside and put him down in the yard. I knew a storm was coming so I was debating on putting him in his box but he headed straight for his favorite patch of grass to graze... it was already raining lightly at this point but I decided to let him eat and I’d check on him in a bit. I came in and did some other chores and I was just about to go check on him when I got an alert on my phone that was a motion detection from my camera. So I opened up the app to see Toretto had already put himself back in the box. Now I don’t have to go back out in the rainView attachment 269207

Why not?..I liked it better 60 years ago with rain barrels and cisterns. Solar panels are amazing new/old technology. Some people want to live on the moon but I don't want to. I want both feet on earth. Right now I need rain collecting buckets for my plan. New fishy to watch.Just think if ALL homes, buildings, etc, were set up from the start with rain barrels or large cisterns and solar panels.!
Good afternoon! So the crawfish boil was a success! The weather was patchy but not near as bad as we expected and mostly held out. The worst came this morning. We had ALOT of people come and go and still had Three Families here this morning. We had corn, potatoes, mushrooms, eggs, shrimp & sausage in addition to the crawfish.. we had lots of cleanup but it’s finally done and the company’s gone... *breathe*. I could never do this more than once a year. All the food turned out good! View attachment 269193View attachment 269194View attachment 269195View attachment 269196
I’m not good at remembering to take photos. I’m always to busy hosting! I only got these few because I was thinking of my CDR friends [emoji16]... there was another canopy over a large picnic table, another round crawfish table and people scattered throughout and up into the pasture. We had also set up a bouncy house for the kids which did get some use I the sunny moments... some crazy people (NOT ME) actually jumped into the pool which is still REALLY cold! There was a tent setup under our shop this morning, a camper set up in the pasture and every room in the house was full plus a mattress on the living room floor.. we do this for many political/business reason but it’s also a personal thing for me and my hubby. He enjoys the spotlight and I enjoy seeing him loosen up once a yearthen I’m extremely glad it over [emoji12]
EVERYONE has it already. We just had to learn how to talk and listen to each other. That has helped me help stroke victims, talk with people that don't speak my language, play with animals,etc...Yes that's fantastic, it's like you created you own language that only you and your brother can understand!
Nice video/snap shots. If i were you, id get a bag or two of Cypress Mulch and put it inside Toretto’s house. I keep a few inches of this mulch in our Sullys house and she just loves to “dig in” and get settled. I spray it down a bit to keep things moist, but it also helps absorb any urine or other deposits.
I’ll have to take a pix to share Sully sleeping in her mulch pile.
That's what I thought too. Cute couple..and family and friends.Sounds like a great party!!!
You two are such a cute couple!!
Are the kids eating crawfish in the jacuzzi? I couldn’t make the pic bigger.
It's great to be able to look in on him.
Would the phone alert you in the night if a rat or something went into the box ?
I only ask because the vet thinks that one of the possible reasons why Lola has a missing foot could be that it was chewed off by a rat.
Not something I'll even know for sure unless he decides to tell me one day!

Oh me oh my. I do need some buckets full of rain water for my soon to be new betta pet but...we've had 100 year flooding this year. Who's going through a drought? that we can share some April showers with.I wish I could send you some of mine... we are getting flash flood stuff so I could have you set up in no time!
I love the idea of entertaining but then I get stressed about what to serve.
So we don’t do it often but when we do it’s actually really fun!
I plan on doing a couple of team soccer parties this summer.
Did one last season and just did a sandwich bar for lunch and the kids swam.
My 2 big dogs are another reason! They are a pain in the butt and will eat plates of food! They get locked in my room.
I hope you had a chance to relax today.
My husband is an old man now and only lets his hair down once a year too!! I make up for it though.
EllieMay what brand do you have now? The cam I have doesn't alert me when there's movement. With Opo outside now I would like that feature.It’s for the storage of photos or videos...

Why are they frustrated with the water? Now I'm really curious!I filled it with tap water. (Can't hardly wait) While the bacteria builds I'll be searching for better water for water changes. In pet smart today, I heard about the frustration aquarium owners in our city have with the tap water. I'll change the filter etc...I saw such a beautiful betta there the other day. Thankfully a pet smart associate bought him.
Great plan...if it ever rained! [emoji6]Ha. As long as it rains, you are good. I use a funnel lined with aquarium floss to strain the water of any particulates. Fill up a few gallon jugs, warm, then fill the aquarium. (Ps. I never test, all fishies are fine)
It's really hard even when you run it through a purifier. It ruins plumbing. It ruins humidifiers and the filters. It grows red algae. I think it's ok for my animals to drink since I run it through a purifier...but I don't want to put a little fish in it. I think Marco2bear is correct. Rain water would be nice to recycle with.Why are they frustrated with the water? Now I'm really curious!
