COLD DARK ROOM

Good morning
Have a Good day

Good morning, Dipa. How are you?

These are mainly grown as ornamental flowering trees, not as fruit producers.

The Yoshino Cherry Tree (Prunus x yedoensis) is so beautiful and graceful that it’s the star of The Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. Every year thousands of people converge on our nation’s capital to see the hundreds of Yoshino Cherry Trees in bloom.

Your Yoshino Cherry Tree bursts into bloom in spring and the flowering will last for several weeks. The young blooms are a pale pink that matures to white with a slight pink hue. The clusters of flowers are so bright they almost glow.

A nice bonus to the stunning flowers is the wonderful, almond-like smell they give off. Light spring breezes will carry the scent throughout your yard.

As summer swings in and the flowers disappear, green leaves and shiny black decorative fruit take their place. Then, when summer gives way to fall, the glossy dark green foliage turns a deep golden-orange.

Yoshino Cherry Tree performs best in full sun in any well drained soil.

Very interesting.

Hey everyone. How's it going?

Good and you?

Well, Jacques is not so great.
She stopped eating about a week ago, won't climb up on her basking platform, and doesn't come up front to watch and interact with us.
All she wants to do is hang out in the dark area in the back of her tank and float bask near her heater. This is very much the behaviors she had when she was developing the pneumonia. I fear it may have come back.
We have an appointment next Tuesday (the 10th) with the specialist vet, but they've agreed to call me if anyone cancels before then so I can get her in sooner.
We cannot afford another 3- week hospital treatment for her.
I hope my fears are wrong.
But SOMETHING is the matter with her, and it sure looks like it did before.
hugs to all.

I commented on your other thread. I am so so sorry this is happening. I really hope that it is nothing. Thinking of you all. [emoji8] [emoji8] [emoji8] [emoji8] [emoji8]

I missed the other thread. Should come out of the dark more often.

Good morning, roommates!
Beautiful day here today.
Facebook reminded me of a street cat we had a while ago. I loved him. He tolerated my daughter very well.


I never named him, knowing he’s a street cat and likely to die young, but when he got ran over by a car while we were away on holiday, it came as a shock. Still miss him.

Oh shame. That is sad. He looks like he was quite a cool cat.

 

[Dipa]

Good morning, Dipa. How are you?

Good just exhausted

 

[Kristoff]

Thank you. I thought if I didn’t give him a name, I wouldn’t get attached. So naive. Well, over at the rainbow bridge I might have quite a company. [emoji173]️

Half way through the week.

Good morning all.

I finally caught up with myself this morning.

So, so sorry to read Bea’s sad news about Jacques. [emoji22] I’ll offer electronic hugs in here too. x

We had a great time in Devon even if the weather was mostly dreadful. We spent Easter Sunday consuming chocolate and playing board games.

Adam emailed me yesterday and he, wifey, Tidgy and SPLAT are doing fine. Tidgy’s really got back into her basketball now the winter is over

In the nest box, Mrs bluet-it continues to bring in nesting material and is now forming a nest cup in the back left corner. It’s taken just over 3 weeks so far.


I haven’t seen Mr bluet-it in the box since before we went away. Hopefully he is still around. The birds aren’t roosting in the box at night.

Love to you all [emoji217][emoji177]

Shame Dipa, I hope you feel better soon. Or at least get some good rest.

 

[CarolM]

You and me both. I will have to walk with caution over the bridge otherwise I will be bowled over by all my lost friends.

I was just wondering what had happened to you. Glad you are back all in one piece. So happy to see good news from Adam. Hmmm the birdies are very thorough and are obviously making sure that the job is done correctly. I hope Mr Birdie hasn't dissappeared, because if he has there goes our baby bird watching.

That is such a pity. I love Cherries.
