COLD DARK ROOM

Not sure why this video popped up in my YT timeline, but here’s a quick video on the making/preparation of “organic” topsoil. It gives one a good idea of all the things getting combined to make garden topsoil…and why @Tom tells us all to not use it….

Interesting - makes me wonder if coco coir is as safe as we thought with all that salt.

Wow unbelievable the process to make the soil.

Hang in there Lyn! Hope all turns out well.

Thanks Ray, I can't wait for a nice quiet day without the wind howling around and down the chimneys ,and gusts crashing into the house and blowing stuff around outside, but you'll know all about that with your hurricane seasons.
The wind direction has changed so my conservatory is slightly more protected by the rest of the house, but maybe it's lulling me into a false sense of security!

Hi all, had my breathing tests done and the scarring in my lung has stayed the same. The results of the test were the same as a yr ago. So that's good that things are stable. The only bad thing is they have no answers why my oxygen saturation is low. They suggested since everything with the pulamary is the same. That I should go to my cardiologist and let them take a look. So I will be battling with Rose when that will be done. Rose wants to get moving on it yesterday. I am actually tired of seeing all these specialists. I am going to take a break from it all for awhile.

So pleased the lungs are stable Ray, but don't put off the heart tests, you have 2 lungs but only one heart!! Listen to Rose!!

Wow I tried to just lurk and couldn't.! Had to take the time to sign back into TFO and somehow got back on TFO. Just to..

That is such great news that your lungs are stable. Maybe you can just get a change in meds

I’m sure it is…..but needs to be 100% soaked just to be sure.

I already have a appointment scheduled for my cardiologist in 5 months. I will just wait till then. I have a fishing tournament in Michigan to attend with 2 of my son's in July. I am not missing it this time. Covid and blood clots in my leg. Stopped me from fishing this tournament. I am going to leave my schedule open before that. I start making appointments with the cardiologist and he orders test. I might be conflicting with the tournament. I need to get my way at least once.

Thanks Cathie,,I am hoping it might be a medication problem.

Hi all, have a good day!
(If you zoom in to the right of the last photo, you'll see a dolphin jumping out of the water. They don't call it the dolphin coast for nothing!)
@Lyn W , hopefuly those storms calm down soon, are you guys in any danger zone again?
@Ray--Opo , I'm glad that everything is stable, I'm sure you'll be in tip top shape soon!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all - still very windy here but at east it's dry.
The old conservatory is still standing but I do have a small hole in the roof where it was patched up years ago after a rather large icicle crashed through it. The wind has taken the patch off so I'll try and do it again from the inside just to keep the rain out until it's all taken down, but buckets at the ready for tomorrow!!
Happy Monday!!

Hi all! Hope you all are having as good of a day like these shield bug larva I foundView attachment 340696
Heavy thunder here by us. Nice and cool now. Torts are doing well, almost time for my trip to Durban, so that's nice!
Our great dane has gone into heat for the first time, and it's a mess. She's bleeding a lot. Two mattresses have already been stained. Poor thing, can't think it's nice. She is also... swolen, if you know what I mean. Normally we'd have our dogs neutered, but we have two girls now, so this is a first.
Anyway, have a good day!

I'd put a baby diaper on her

It is beautiful - I think that's called nacre or mother of pearl if you want to google it.
Goodnight to you too - sleep well.

You are a brat! And brats can have their way only sometimes I bet they'll be getting your tests done before July and just in time for your tournament especially since I'm gonna pray Rose gets her way

Great Spring-like day here today with temps in the very high 60s (19c). We got up early and drove to the Atlantic Ocean…and spent a few hours at Rehoboth Beach Delaware.


And were home in time for a nice sunset.
