Wow! Cooking can be FUN!? ?
That's never been my experience!!
Stressful is the adjective I would use.

I made breakfast for my son yesterday (my husband does all the cooking but wasn’t home) and my son said wow mom! You made this by yourself with the basic ingredients found in most homes? That little s**t head

 

[Snoopy’s mom]

Yep, kitty ? snawsages . . they ?are even getting into the goose Poop. . .like they don't get fed. . . SMH

Sounds like an all you can eat buffet is happening at you place ????

If any of you can access BBC programmes, look out for David Attenborough's 'The Green Planet' series. I've just watched the latest on deserts and it is absolutely incredible. The Time lapse camera work on cacti and succulents and other plants that survive there is brilliant.

I really enjoy that series, the scenery is almost as stunning as his accent ?

Someone found a new place to chill out during his outside time

 

[Snoopy’s mom]

Yup that's a popular one here too, except we say 'dragged' through a hedge backwards, which sounds a bit more of a violent act!!! Usually a good way to describe how my hair usually looks!!!?

I tell my son it looks like he combed his hair with an egg beater

Lola wouldn't come out of his hide today. He moved himself so that he could see if anything was going on in his room, but refused to come out even for his food. We had a battle of wills until 3 pm when I gave in and put the food in with him. He pounced on it, then took himself back into his dark, cosy corner for a snooze. ?

I love DA -even at 95 he is still so interesting and such an important voice for nature and environmental issues. Our biggest national treasure!

When I was a child I watched him on Zoo Quest, and desperately wanted to be his assistant when I grew up. That didn't work out, but I think I have watched every programme he has ever made - and he is still as bright and interesting as he has always been. He has also been a major influence on the development of television in the BBC generally, not just nature programmes - I hope he goes on for a long time yet.

First thing I did when I left work on Friday was to stop at the liquor store. I don’t drink any more…?
Then again… I don’t drink any less either! ??

We only got somewhere between 5-8”
Those poor people in Long Island got a whopping 2 FEET!!! ???
Thanks for the heads up Maro2bear!!!
I am sorry for not answering sooner but I am not getting an email when someone posts a chat on “cold dark room”?
I am “watching” this thread so I don’t understand it???????

That happens to me also. So sometimes I have to go to the little lightening flash to see what's going on on my phone.?

They soon settle in and take over don't they ?Ruler of the roost ?

My life definitely revolves around Lola!
My family think I'm nuts!!!

It's not a very nice night here - wet and very windy - but that's nothing compared to what they are expecting in Scotland and the North of England. They are going to be hit by Storm Corrie only a couple of days after Storm Malik which did a lot of serious damage. Some places will have winds of up to 80mph tonight - terrifying! I hope everyone stays safe.

Yep. I'm the odd ball here. Thank the good Lord ?

Thank Gawd we had hair spray back in the days when you paid to have your hair look like you came thru the hedge backwards. Remember teasing your hair back in the day, ladies?

Good morning/afternoon and Happy Monday on this last day of January.
Mixed weather here today, but there's a very cold wind.
There are lots of trees down and damage to property in the north of UK but thankfully no loss of life has been reported with this last storm.

I'm not doing anything special today, I'm just going to stay warm.

See you later.

Good morning my friends...
Well, this is a cr*ppy situ.....I'm NOT a big Football Fan, but
Dang 9er's choked in the 4th quarter. Ram's read their plays, like it was handed to them. The Rams, are the better team right now.
Would have been interesting if The 9er's had won, it would be the second time the 9er's & Cincinnati played in the Super Bowl, last time was in 89' when SF beat the Bengals 20 to 16. . . . kinda like yesterdays score . . 20 to 17 .? My brother in law is HAPPY right now as he was from Cincinnati and a Bengals fan. I would have had to put down a lil wager if the two teams had played, you know . . . just to make it interesting.
Oh, well they tried and were given lil hope at the beginning of the season...
That AND . . . Still NO sight of Rain . . . ?
Think this is gonna be another Drought year. Jan & Feb are supposed to be the rainiest Months and we got squat for January.
Starting my Veggie & Flower seedlings for spring time. Will have to figure out what plant's I can give up by not watering, to keep the ones that I want....my lil farm is gonna take a hit this year....sad?
As Lyn says. . . TTFN?

As to your rain comment - We've had quite a bit more rain than normal for our area, but now, for the past month or so, nothing. The day after our last rain event I broadcast a bunch of pasture grass seed over the back yard tortoises' yards, and now, after a month, I can still see plain old seed sitting on top of the bare spots in the yard! I wonder if I should sprinkle water over it.
