COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

Good afternoon everyone, got a phone message and a text from the pharmacy saying the meds were ready. I have been sitting in the van at the pharmacy. Waiting for Rose for 40 minutes. ?????

So you're waiting outside the pharmacy waiting to be notified you can come in and get your meds and now there's no one there to go get them?

Sunny, bright, but cooler here today in Maryland. It’s actually a pretty refreshing day. Not too hot or cold, not windy.

We moved our banana tree back outside. It had been mostly dormant all Winter long sitting in our garage with an occasional watering. I gave it a semi good drink two days ago & it has sprung up a good six inches. We also moved four large pots of Spring flower bulbs that I planted up back in October with all kinds of tulips, crocus & daffodils. These were in the back garden potting shed area just waiting to grow. They’re really sprouting so today out on the front porch & a good watering.

I’m hoping to move the fig trees back out (from the garage) to the garden. Maybe some deck rail painting & touch ups before dusk.

Ohh no! Is she sick? Poor baby):

No it is my wife Rose and my monthly meds.

No, Rose was inside waiting and I was in the van. It's just that they called and said the meds were ready. When Rose got back in the van, she said not all the meds were ready. ?

It’s that time of the year! EagleWatch cameras are up and running!


The eagle’s at this location in Shepherdstown WV have recently laid two eggs. They’re predicting the first will hatch on or about 3/18.

I didn't put my leg on, so I was stuck in my chair in the van. Probably a good thing I wasn't in there.

My naughty torty made a dash for it today while I was cleaning his room and forgot to shut his gate behind me - I found him in the living room watching a gardening programme on the tv. Wish I'd had a camera - he looked as if he was enjoying it! Must have been the colours or maybe he thought it was a food programme, Short lived though and he was soon safely back in his own room.

That's hilarious. Sapphire will sit and watch stuff too. His little head stuck out just watching maybe for an hour or more then he makes up his mind and strolls on...

 

[Cathie G]

I can barely say it once!!!

Hahaha you tried it too ?

 

[Cathie G]

Well hello there! So nice to know someone is in here and I’m not all alone. For you Montgomery May I get a vanilla bean latte with a double shot of espresso, I’ll be needing it to not trip on the hedgehogs in all of this gloom.

Not guilty - our wind is still here and making its presence felt.
We've also had hailstones and sleet this afternoon - very lively weather!
How long have you had Gary?

Glad your still ok.
Our weather has stopped quite literally.
But could be expecting SNOW on Tuesday?
I have had Little Gary now for about two years this June.
That makes me sad because I hear they only live for two years...??
I only have him because he was found in a giant head of lettuce I was purchasing for my tortoise!
He just fell out and looked up at me as if to say... “Are YOU my new mommy?”
Either that or he was sayin’
“THIS doesn’t look like China?” ??
Never the less .... he is HOME now. With his 10gallon tank - one smaller for change -
AND a travel cage! (We used the other day to go to the vet for the big tortoise..?
He LOVED it! He was all over the place!
Even sat up on the DASHBOARD OF THE CAR!!?? ?
All went well and we (three) had a lovely 70degree day.
Found out my Sulcata is egg bound AND has anywhere from 40-60 eggs stashed in her!!! ?
Thank god it’s NOT because of a “boy”.
But still .... she has eggs..???

(Gary just became my FAVORITE now.)??

Maybe THIS year he will help you garden??
Now that he knows HOW ....??

Maybe Gary will have a longer life because he is so well looked after.

What kinda snail is he/she? That's interesting because I used to find apple snail shells in Florida. Every one said they were extinct but you could tell the shell was fresh and some raccoon ate it... what are they going to do to help the egg bound problem with your tortoise???

Poor Rose and poor you. I hope they apologized profusely at least.? But to tell the truth if something similar happens more than once there's always another store needing to stay in business.

So he’s not a lazy fellow, just too classy for the outdoors!

I have to just let her burrow and let nature take it’s course...
And thank you for that about Gary.
He is a character....
Anyone who says animals or insects are dumb are just stupid themselves..
