Goooooooood Morning C D R

Looks to be a calm day here in Maryland, no wind, some sunshine. Going to hit the water for a few hours once the sunshine warms the air. It’s 18F here at the moment (minus 7 C) so a tad cold to get things lashed up to the truck.

The birdies are all up and singing and visiting the feeders.

Enjoy the day - and for those sick or healing. Get well.

It was lonely and raining.
So it felt good to be out of the rain, in the desert you can't remember your name. Because there ain't no one for to give you a name.
I also came across a strip club. To my surprise it was ladies night and there was male dancers :(
I didn't stay but on my way out. I asked the bouncer what my name was
He said for 20 bucks he would tell me. I asked him if he was related to a leprechaun and got back on the horse with no name and rode away.​
Whahaha. I love your stories. I cannot wait for the next part. Is your name rumplestiltskin?

The horse acted fine. He lost a rear leg after the infection set in from stepping on a rabid hedgehog. So I fastened on my prosthetic leg to the horse and we kept going. Good thing the horse was like 12 hands and my prosthetic leg is fairly long. It was a perfect fit
Sounds like he should meet up with the one legged pirate. They seem to lots in common.

Hello
I'm still around every now and then.
Nothing personal
In fact some of my very favorite members seldom leave the CDR.
The pond isnt very fancy. But what I had before was smaller and completely overgrown. I revamped it after @Pearly visited me because I was embarrassed about it.
I'm sure the fish appreciated it.
Oh that is a gorgeous pond.

Good evening all hope you are all well, I see have a few posts to catch up on!
I didn't make it home on Tuesday - my sister wouldn't drive me home and thought I should stay longer.
I finally persuaded her I would be OK yesterday, because my b-in-law wasn't happy about the heating for Lola at night and said that even deserts and tropics have cold nights, and I overheard my sister saying that she turned the heating off in the night, so I think it was time I came home. Their house is so cold even I was struggling! I appreciate everything they have done and will continue to do for me but Lola needs to be kept warm.
I was back at hospital yesterday to have some stitches removed from a cut on top of my foot and it is infected, so now on antibiotics but an xray showed the plate in my leg has stayed in place so that was good news. The very bad news is I can't use it for at least another 4 weeks!!! I was hoping I would be walking on it in 2 so not happy about that.
Anyway enough of my woes, time for me to see what everyone has been up to since Tues.
Oh Lyn,

I am so sorry this is happening to you. I really hope it gets better soon.

Thanks Carol. yes I'm glad to be home and Lola had a good long bask under his uvb today and ate more than he's eaten all week so he's obviously happy to be home even though he's not in his usual spot.
Being home is always the best. You'll see, you will heal better and Lola might even start behaving.

Wow, it was a little busy over the last few hours. Looks like everyone has been having a good time. My Sunday is almost over. But had a productive weekend. So all good. Worked in the garden, did some shopping and now I get to watch a little bit of tv or at least I will when the internet comes back on again. Until later everyone.

Well now that you mention that . Come to find out. I stopped for a rest and when I dismounted the horse with no name. I could hear a distress coming from the horse with no name. I couldn't see what was wrong. Being dark and no jellyfish. I went over to the horse with no name and found my prosthetic was coming off the horse with no name. I removed my prosthetic and felt that the horse with no name was growing a new leg. ( I guess horses here in the CDR grow limbs like lizards grow tails). Anyways I found myself in a perdicament. The prosthesis wont fit the horse with no name. So I will have to stay where I was until the horse with no names leg fully grew. This might have taken 2 hrs or 2 days. You never know being tired and delusional in a hot, dark, desert in the rain. (I think it was rain it had a smell to it). Being delusional in the dark kinda reminds me of my younger days eating sugar cubes. ( different story different time)
Anyways I could tell the horse with no name and I were getting hungry. So not being able to see without jellyfish. I used my survival skills I learned in the Prussian war and got on my hands and knee. If you noticed I said knee not knees. I felt around with my nose to the ground and came across some clumps that were small piles. I smelled them. The smell kinda reminded me of Opo's soaking water. (at this time I had forgotten my sullies name, but with the smell I remember).
Anyways my thumb is tired because I only have one and I am on my smartphone.
To be continued.
