COLD DARK ROOM

And good morning. Going to be another hot (near 90) and humid day. Sully is already up awake and out enjoying breakfast. A bowl of Mazuri, a bunch of fresh dandelion greens, topped with a head of Romaine.

The temperature inside Sullys house registering just fine - RHP in the roof, coupled with a Kane heat mat on the floor.

Good morning all, I guess 1 small frangipani flower doesn't affect Opo. At least not yet. Hope everyone is good. Going to my monthly doctor's app. To get my prescription that helps me make it thru life

Good morning, all! Still cloudy and overcast here. I was hoping for some sunshine. Oh well. My package is still in Stockton. I doubt it will be delivered today.

Good morning!!
We have had rain since yesterday and should continue until Wednesday!
This really slows my project down and we tore out the old tort enclosure except for the sully.
It’s not gonna be fun trying to contain them with cold wet weather.

But, I guess it’s hard to complain about rain. Keeps everything green and growing.

With our temps now close to 90, probably the end of our wonderful rhododenderons as well.

Gorgeous!!
We had them when we lived in Seattle. They loved the weather!

As much as I love all the weeds, the fire danger this year will be scary.

I’m glad there is no repercussions from the flower eating;-) I hope your day is good and the prescription does awesome things for you !!

Yes. I’m sure every outside tortoise has accidentally nibbled or eaten or munched on a NO NO PLANT. The key is don’t deliberately feed, and restrict access to toxic plants.

It’s hot here in Md. Sully is taking a break under our picnic table.

When I say it's beddy bye time, she usually heads for it and doesn't mind being in it. I don't know about the neat part though. I don't know which one of us makes the biggest mess of it.

Lol. A mess in a home is just a lived in home.

So a few weeks ago I re-did an old, empty brick planter - added some dirt and planted a few cacti in it. The dirt was scavenged from a pile just outside my fence. I can't remember where it came from originally, but it was dirt I dug out from someplace here and piled up outside the fence. So squash and tomato volunteers sprouted up all inside the planted from that old dirt. At least, I THOUGHT it was squash. Today those plants are blooming and instead of large yellow squash blossoms, it's tiny yellow blossoms. So I guess it's wild gourd or melon. I won't know until it sets fruit. I've been harvesting the leaves to feed my tortoises. I hope it's not toxic.

I hope so too.

Eggs of unknown origin always makes me think of the movie, Aliens

Just don’t paint your nails and — OUCH! — toenails in any edible-looking color.

About turtles, are you sure you didn’t want one of these?

It’s hot here too! I think we are getting more tornado weather tomorrow. I bought a couple more pampas grass plants this morning and Toretto happily followed me around while planting . I think he’s secretly thinking that I should get the heck out of his yard. He would come over to my newly dug holes and throw dirt with his front feet.. His yard is starting to look pretty green

What do you’ve against being photographed with cute little chicks [emoji213]???? You might have saved one from lots more little grubby hands . During the photograph, You could have been the two seconds of peace that it needed to keep it chirping... or that photo might have been it one claim to fame?? Ever think about that?? Huh? huh?? Well do ya, punk???
