COLD DARK ROOM

[EllieMay]

Well i have finally caught up. I have been busy with work and when not doing that I have been working on some cement projects. Now they are not finished yet and I will post pics again once they are done.
It is late and my eyes are closing on me. So I am going to sign off for now and will chat again later.

Oh how cool!!! Luv the little dragon!

Hay...joe just finished a dog painting for me. (And you). He's at the least getting inspired. He's got to be almost going thru cabin fever by now since he's been in lockdown by me. This is being a win win win! Dog lovers will love his paintings once he starts getting doggy cuteness again.View attachment 290450

OHHHH WE LOVE IT! My son is sitting right here with me and as soon as it popped up he starting telling me to print it! He loves them too... Tell Joe that we like that he dressed her up

Well she is our little Cinderella. You and I have unleashed a funny dog picture painter. Joe loved that you like it. Thanks. I remember some pen and ink drawings he did when he was really young. Only about 10. I will love seeing some of those in a painting. He may not remember them but I do...hehehe?s rule.

Wow, that is a very long time. I don't think they can do that here. As people will not be able to survive. As it is a lot of people have lost their jobs and income and are already struggling.

Most people can't survive here either. A lot of people haven't worked since all this started. Our government says it will help with all that, is trying, and probably will. But also the government needs to expedite that!. How do they do that with millions of phone calls and the paperwork too? They are another unsung hero through all this. Our shutdown started in early March. Now extended through April...I'm saying prayers for our people...and you and yours.?

Yeah had to go to grocery store yesterday.. they only let 50 ppl in at a time and there was a line outside waiting to get in... i should have started sneezing lol

Oh me oh my! Don't do that! They'll either take you to jail or you'll get at the least tackled and muzzled.?

We now can't even buy seeds or garden plants, here in Michigan, but it's still to early anyway, but starting seeds indoors would be a good way to kill the broadem,

I am so board here in Michigan, most of the weather here is still to cold and wet with a few nice warm sunny days, I been looking at all this stuff online I started, a scrap garden, or aka trash garden, it's really cool, you take parts of leftover veggies and put in water or soil depending on what the veggies are, and they produce for veggies, I hope it works, I like to regrow mushrooms, and pineapple, etc anyone else try this yet

I like to grow date palms from the seeds you get from dates if you can find them with seeds. They're really beautiful but you better have a giant flower pot. You'll have to give them away after you find your favorite sprout. I haven't tried a pineapple yet but read how to.☺

I did read up on pineapple, but haven't done it yet either, but next time I buy one I am going to try, but I think it needs to be non GMO, so it will work, I am trying lettuce at the moment, and a mushroom, just a few things right now, so we see how it goes, why not we been locked down for a while now, late March, now to April 30th, and this includes my job, so I really am running out of things to do, you can only clean so much, I redid my pumpkin's encloser twice, lol, poor girl, I redecorated it, she probably thinks I lost my mind, lol and redid my kitchen cabinets as well, my storage cabinets, lol

I'm retired and always try to get out of going anywhere. But it's bugging me tooo! I am behaving myself somewhat. I'm used to going to the store when I choose to. Who in the world would come up with the 7am hours for elderly shopping? I can't see in the dark. I'm not even up and kicking at that hour!?maybe having coffee though...really though when I read how, it was just cut off the top and grow it. GMO wasn't even a term used. Why in the heck would someone genetically modify something anyway? I always heard if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Right, totally agree, but they do for color, size, and favor, but it also stops seeds from being able to reproduce, bottom line greed,

I mostly finished today.. but I don’t want to post pictures because it looks like a desert at the moment... I transplanted a few things and planted a mix of fescue, annual rye, dandelions, pansies and zinnias... all seeds of course.. it’s the smallest yard of the three but not by much... I believe it will sustain one sully.... I hope.. I have plenty of acreage but I didn’t want to move Toretto or build a new box... I put a soak pool in. I believe that Pickles will get this yard since it borders Toretto and is a duplex box... I am afraid that Crusher might be a female and I don’t want her anywhere near the males if that is the case... That yard is on the other side of the house with the single night box...

Good thinking re Crusher.

Yeah I hear you. And the same from me. I just wonder how long before things go haywire because people have no money for food etc.

Good Morning Everyone.

It is cloudy here today.

Don't have much else to say, other than have an awesome saturday everyone.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Oh no. Glad you are feeling better.

Thanks Carol feeling better today.

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning! Although morning is half way gone now.. I slept in.. Until just after 8... that is crazy and unheard of for me! I guess with all the physical labor and a lingering sinus infection, I may have been pushing myself.... I feel like I spent a week in the gym... All I have to do today is water the new yard and my garden... Think rain and storms are coming in tonight.. I’m going to sit still for a little bit longer and have my second cup of coffee;-)

Very nice. Turned cold here for two days now, not much outside work. Good luck on the new pads for your sullys. You will have to show/demo your soaking pool for @Ray--Opo . - hes going to build one for Mr Opo.

Enjoy! I think I’ll plant sunflowers, zinnias & marigold seeds today. Temps are cold today, but warming. It’s about time to get seeds in the ground. Sprouting in 2 weeks....should be nice then.

Exactly, whether you agree with GMO or not, it really does help farmers produce tons & tons of disease resistant crops, grains for our consumption.
