COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

That is so sad!!! I feel it is due to the war on Mosquitos that is also killing butterflies due to same zone spraying. I have 5 purple butterfly bushes that host a ton of Monarchs every year as the migrate south. I am a huge Lepidoptera fan and welcome all with Monarchs and Tiger Swallow Tails as my favorites

I don't know everything they're doing in our city but most people don't like the environmental laws. I however love them. I've actually seen white pelicans, the six butterfly species, deer, etc. Hanging out in our city like they are citizens of the US. Maybe this little darling is one of my mosquito protection critters. He lived on my deck this past summer. The little critter let me shoot a closeup.

What's with this group? First a bunch of us are sick and now a bunch of us are travelling. It's like we're somehow connected. Well, cut the cord! I don 't want to travel!!!

Me neither! It sounds like too much work.

“Argh, we can just watch TV....” — and I’m not supposed to have senior moments yet! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Well then I must just be a spoiled child. I'll take that...

Next post should be from Oslo.

If that's a bloody Mary...yum.

The first people that saw our house made an offer for full asking price. It is contingent on them selling their house. We did accept. We had another showing today. They thought the house was amazing and really loved our backyard, especially our tortoises. Our realtor let them know they are not negotiable. We could hear from them tomorrow. Since we have a contingency, we are still able to show our house and entertain offers.

Yay!! I hope everything falls into place!!!

Yikes. I have friends from Colorado coming to see us in May. They think we have them just wandering around our neighborhood.

Kids found a lizard while pulling mustard greens out of a friend’s garden. They thought it was so cute.

Naples!

Love Naples!!

I love him!

I get a baby toad every year. Somehow I always find the little ones in my front yard flower bed. I move them to the back yard. This little guy stayed on my deck all 2018 summer. He's special.

OMG!!
My biggest scare since having these tortoises for 6yrs!
This morning I asked my daughter to open the heated houses and this evening I went out and saw the pen gate was open!!
My heart stopped!!
I looked around thinking maybe he stayed in the shed but nope he was gone!! Our backyard is about 1.5 acres and it’s now getting close to dark! Not to mention the dogs were outside almost all day!!
Yikes! My husband went left I went right towards that container in our yard!
2 minutes later my husband found him at the fence line trying to get thru the chain link!
He is safe now! Phew!!
She was warned to double check that the gate actually locked.
