COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all.
We had a wet and cold day yesterday, today it's drier but temps are dropping and arctic winds are on the way, so we can expect frost and snow flurries over the next few days.

I spent a few hours having cwtches (cuddles) with my new great nephew yesterday; he is tiny but absolutely beautiful. I'm looking forward to meeting my new great niece from Las Vegas in August when they fly over so that we can all meet her.

Lola is very active at the moment and wouldn't go to bed last night - he was still wandering around his room at 10 pm, usually he's tucked up in his hide by 8.30. So I had to tell him that if he didn't go to bed he would be grounded! 'Big deal!' he said

Anyway I hope you all have a good Wednesday and I'll see you later.

Good morning my friends....
Overcast morning and we actually got .75" of rain on Sunday. they are saying that was the end of our Rain for the year, Sadly.
Tuesday Mornings are my Bird Cage cleaning days, But I had a Bird Dr. appt on the other side of the County @ 11 am, for my Jose a Yellow Naped Amazon who had severe scissor beak when I adopted him, and Roger a Goffin Cockatoo that needed a annual exam & Blood work. Was able out of there with a bill under $500.
I had lunch with a Friend, and stopped by at Tractor Supply for some Oyster shell/coral calcium for my flock.
I got 2 cages done before leaving & 5 cages done after I got home.
Got two cages left to clean this morn.
Have a Water Pump On my Ford Ranger to replace this week. Should be a relatively easy job.
Hope all the folks in Gulf Coast & East Coast weather the Coming storm safely....
And Good Ole Seymour has had his breakfast, Cactus pad and is wandering around getting his exercise....

So, My apologies to you all my friends, Rain has shown up this evening, I spent the last couple of days getting ready in the yard, and SEARCHING for that dang Seymour. As always. . . it is just happenstance.I have been looking as I Have been looking in the yard with NO LUCK. Then Saturday . . it was look here! God works in mysterious ways (pardon me all the atheist & agnostic's) BAM, I lifted a garbage can lid, and BAM! There he is. So he is back inside in comfort. BTW, I gave him a good soak today, and as usual he did his poop.(pee EW), well there was 1/3 of a Almond shell in his poop. Dodged that impaction bullet.
Thank you to
Cathy G,
Lyn W,
Ray-Opo,
and other's
for their concern over Seymour's disappearance...
Life is good!
Thank you, my Tort Loving friends

Yay!!!!!!!

Our animals certainly keep us busy don't they?
I bet Seymour is glad he's home.

Wow about your little neice and nephew. How's the other little puppy too? I always joke about watch out they multiply butt.... it's lovely when they do.

Morning all! A lovely 12:19 am here, or 00:19, can't sleep so thought I'd check in
Nice that you got to hold your great nephew @Lyn W !
Glad you found Seymour @MenagerieGrl !

Tilly the pup is great, but quite naughty and gets up to all sorts of things. She has a completely different personality to Fudge and although my sister and her hubby love her to bits I think they are finding her hard work. She may be coming to stay with me at the start of May while they are in Las Vegas, but my knee has really been painful this last couple of weeks so they are also looking at kennels. I'm sure my knee will settle down again soon though and she'd be fine with me.

You are just an hour ahead of me now.
What's keeping you awake?
Hope you are feeling better - did you have the covid test?

Oh yeah, you guys have day light savings over there.
It's just one of those nights, where you feel fine, sleepless almost, just awake. So I don't think I'll sleep tonight.
But if your an hour behind me... then your also up pretty late, what's keeping you up?
Thanks! We're feeling a bit better now. We eventually didn't go, we felt ok by then, so we didn't test, but still isolated. My mother feels the worst between us all, and went to test today, we should get the results today and then we'll have an idea

Glad to hear you feel better and hope your mum is on the mend soon.
I'm always up late and rarely get to bed much before midnight.
I'm just about to head up now and will probably read for a while before I feel sleepy.
One of the things I try if I can't sleep is to listen to relaxing music......doesn't always work but often helps.
Anyway I hope you do manage to get some sleep soon, Nos Da!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all,
It's bright and sunny but so cold here today thanks to strong arctic winds.
Lola did pop out of the door, but thought better of it and came straight back in.
I've not ventured far either.

I hope the weather is OK in your corner, and that the storms forecast for some states are easing now.

Here we are at the end of March - a third of the way through the year already!
I hope you all have a good Thursday, TTFN.

Well... I'ma hoping and praying your knee feels better quickly so you get to babysit the puppy

My grandson has a little baby son due on his birthday soon. I'm about to be a great little grandma that's what they all call me. Little grandma. Now they have to put great before little grandma

Big storm with high winds, rain, warming temps & possible tornados blowing through. Ive been working on another garden bench. Seven of the eight boards are done & stained - number 8 is getting a wee Celtic knot carved into it. The carving is a bit of a process ‘til it looks good to stain. Not quite there yet.

Nice I can't wait to see the finished project. And even when you're only halfway there. Hope and prayers your recovery is going smoothly also.

That's wonderful to see. Yeah I can't wait to see the bench in progress. And finished. Where are you planting it in your gardens?

Hey everyone, finally got a minute to stop in.
My oldest son is here with 2 of my granddaughters. They are from Michigan, it's been awhile since seeing them because of covid and my health hampering me traveling. Been having a great time!
Hope everyone is doing well.
