Good afternooning all.
It’s been rather chilly here for the last couple of days... we even had frost this morning. It warmed up pretty quickly today so our designated exercise was a bit more comfortable.
Not much to report really. Life ticks on.
There’s someone on Facebook called Aliyu Fahat who wants to join the CDR group, but hasn’t given a posting name. Aliyu if you read this, please message me through TFO so I can see your posting name. Thank you
No posting name = no entry to the CDR on Facebook

Still too cold (and snow in parts there) to plant seeds outside, but, yes, you could be sowing some things inside. Watched your Governor this AM .... lots of virus spreading uncontrollably there. Damned if you do, or don’t.
Hang in there...
Yep....it will clear up a lot of things! Even COVID-19 !

Lol. I think there are a lot of words which are of British influence.
Overnight visitor in my watering can.. Gray Tree Frog.
Ok Carol, here are a few snaps. We actually had fun making our containers. We rounded up various plasticy things we had & went to down. A thick paste of “stuff” works best, not too soupy. You have to think reverse image a bit to get patterns. When complete & dry, I drilled drainage holes. (These are about 5 years old now)
For the bird bath, I used one we have and used it as the form. Turned it upside down, covered with a plastic bag, formed the hypertufa over top. I pushed some chicken wire into the material about half way through the process to provide some rigidity. Then finished it up with additional HT.

Well honestly, I only now one person who had, it and I don't know him well, and both our national guard hospitals are empty, it's mostly in Detroit, Michigan is huge, btw our governor, numbers don't add up, she telling us, that 14%, of our population is African American, okay, but 40%of the people who have died our African American, and have a higher rate of dying, I am no math wiss, but that's less than half, so who are the other 60%who are drying, I have issues with this being turned into a race issue, when 10%are listed as other, and 50%our white, this is why Michigan people are having issues with the governor, one of her press conference.the screen showing the federal numbers was was way to bright to see, but her numbers the screen was turned blue and the lights dimmed, as soon as she went back to the fed number it was super bright again, she's not being honest with the people here,
