COLD DARK ROOM

It sounds like it would definitely take some getting used to but I tend to drink or eat anything if I know it’s good for me.

It's sounds kind of like v8 without the tomato.

Luckily, my neighbor was deconstructing some hardscaping and was tossing a bunch away and asked if I could use some.
Yes please, so i lugged them over the fence and through the woods and Sully’s outdoor enclosure was made.

This Fall (early October) following our 40 months of flooding, I “deconstructed” the enclosure and Sully’s old house. I cut all the timbers in half or thirds to relocate them. Thats when we built the Sully-Ma-Hal and moved inside for Winter.

That’s really nice! I was going to ask if you had showed the finished project. Is that a deck box that you insulated? Sully stays in the garage for the winter?

I have a hamper full that needs to me matched. Thankfully a genius came up with the style of non matching socks. My kids have embraced it.

I would die of shock if I saw either of my girls in matching socks!!! Lol

Thank you!!! So you don’t have rebar in your blocks anchoring??

I’ve been known to put duck tape on the sole of a leaky shoe.

A woman after my own heart...er, feet!

Some of us are admiring your potted plants, too. My significant other and I are fond of succulents.

It dies! He hangs it on a knob and puts them in the bag instead of the dirty clothes basket. Just zip it and wash & dry it.

Great. I will be looking for a bag too then.

 

[CarolM]

Those things weigh a ton!!
I hate the whole process of buying them and lugging them to the yard!

It is a good workout at least.

 

[CarolM]

Good night, roommates! I might not be around much the next few days. Have a great Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday, everyone!

Awwww. Going to miss you. Have fun with whatever you are going to do.

I believe someone here said that they couldn’t draw a stick man.... well I can’t even draw half of a stick man so I won’t be painting anything for the world to see[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Lol. Get your kids to do it. They can then be graffiti artists.[emoji23]

That looks fantastic. You are so lucky that you have that kind of talent.

I’ve been eating paleo off and on for about six years. I have celiac disease so no gluten for me. Now that my blood sugar is out of whack I’ve been even more strict on what I eat. We started drinking bullet proof coffee years ago after the pioneer woman did it on her show. I have a friend that started a keto blog last month and she did a post about it last week and listed cocoa powder, turmeric, and stevia on it, so I started adding those in. It helps me miss my creamer less but not completely forget it. I really think I loved a hot cup of creamer in the morning instead of coffee. It’s been rough but I’ve started enjoying them more.
As to fasting, I don’t like to eat or drink anything except water after 6pm. So I fast until about 9am. I’ll sometimes skip supper entirely if I had a big, late lunch.

I do love making fruit smoothies. We have popsicle molds, and I’ll put the extras in there for the kids to eat after school. I have some moringa to put in it and bentonite clay. I don’t use them too often though, moringa more than clay.

What does the clay do?

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] also a good way to get around it.

Soooooooo

Many will remember last year’s trees that fell that took me forever and a day to cut up, then split, and burn.

We have two more leaners....usually spotted from our “room with a view”.

Yes...they SHOULD be vertical. It warmed up enough today for a nice backyard fire while we cut some stress relief cuts at the base of these trees. Tomorrow - 50 mph winds....

With all the falling trees you get, you could build Sully a palace.

I used cinder blocks, but I did when I was still renting. Now that I own my house, I’m not going to take it down. I’ve invested a lot of money in the blocks. I have heard planks are better..‍View attachment 263049View attachment 263050

Also a very good idea.

Good Thursday Everyone.
It is a sunny day here but the wind is blowing as well. Just my kind of day. I need the wind to relieve the heat.
Not long to go until the weekend. Thank goodness. We are not busy at work, so I get bored out of my mind. If I could watch tv or keep myself occupied with things that I need to do for home it would not be so bad. But unfortunately I can only twiddle my thumbs. When I am busy at work I enjoy it. It is the doing nothing which I cannot stand. I have decided to try and learn Japanese again to keep me busy.
Have a good one and where is Montgomery I would like some coffee.

 

[CarolM]

I am bored again.

Sooooo which one will you do?

 

[CarolM]

Who knew?
