Those walks are are so inspirational!
Hugs to you and your husband.

Ps. The t-shirts are cute!

Thanks! A friend made them for us. We always nickname our babies because we don’t like finding out what we are having. My husband and I had settled on Peanut before telling our daughters. Three of them liked Peanut, the four year old insisted on Milk. So, our beloved babe will forever be known as Peanut Milk.

That’s cool. We don’t get tree frogs over here!

My daughter picked up my interest in wildlife and is now an Ecologist. She gets paid to work with wildlife. After she graduated from university, she spent three months in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan working on a prairie dog research project.

Did she enjoy her time in Can?

You have such a good attitude (and quite a sense of humor)>

(I've been told I have two LEFT feet, so even though they're not my size, they won't work anyway. Darn it)

Okay. I’m back and it’s hot out today!
That wasn’t horrible but I when I have to stop and pull the dumb string on the weed eater.
Now I need new waterers. They cracked.

Here’s just one pen before

I’m not sure if my big guy knows he has food on his face.


One of my reds getting the spa treatment today. She loves the water dripping on her head.

Get yourself a battery powered string trimmer. I have a Black and Decker. It feeds the line automatically. And when you buy the spools that are threaded at the factory, they don't hang up. You never have to pull the string. And it's every bit as strong as the motor or electric powered ones.

That's the beauty of making your yards big enough to drive the mower through. I only have to use the weed wacker around the perimeter. I was able to finish the leopard yard before my battery and my back gave out.

I wonder why the stinging nettles don't sting the tortoises. It really is good tortoise food.

They're way too cute to consider them a plague. And not all of them make it to adulthood. I have a light on over my back door that comes on automatically when it gets dark and the toads gather around under that light. There are also many, many baby tree frogs that hang out on the side wall of the house under the light. Not nearly as many of them, but quite a few. I'll try to remember to take some pictures later in the Spring after they emerge from being pollywogs.

Pollywogs? I have never heard that before... [emoji16]
We have lots of toads and tree frogs here to. I don’t ever go out early or later and not see them in the warmer months..I never thought of a toad house either but I think I may have to put a couple out now..

 

[JoesMum]

Did she enjoy her time in Can?

Loved it! It was very remote where she was; no internet. But she had amazing scenery and wildlife all around her.

Daughter has itchy feet she spent three months in Tanzania (East Africa) before going to Canada ... and that was even more remote. No electric or running water and the opposite end of the temperature scale!

She has got a proper job now... but it allows her to travel a lot in the UK.

The mice in our garden are “yellow necked mice”. They’re not interested in moving in the house with us. I find them interesting. I have never seen a house mouse here.

If you have plenty of obvious shelter in your yard, the toads will use it. Our house is in a more modern estate and there’s not so much junk around for them.

I have been trying to garden wildlife friendly in the last few years, so I plant for the pollinators and the birds. And encouraging other wildlife like toads and hedgehogs too. It seems to be paying off. The garden is so busy today with insects and birds. I frightened a mouse from our hedgehog house this morning... the hedgehogs are only just out of hibernation, so hopefully one will arrive back in the garden soon.

How amazing to me that hedge hogs are common wildlife for you!!! Do please take a picture when they wake))

 

[Yvonne G]

Maybe you know them as tadpoles?

Son takes 14... but has both legs.

Someone ought to run up a shoe matching website. There must be loads of veterans and people who have had accidents or illness who could buddy up and share.

That sounds like a really cool job, but I HATE the plane...If I ever take it again it will be to stay there for a long time.

That’s so cool I have never seen a wild hedgehog...

 

[Reptilony]

Speaking of toads here’s a pic I also took in the pool of a cool toad.

 

[Momof4]

I know right?!?

Well yes I do))

Almost all black moors with age become lighter, some become grey some become even orange! What’s fun with bettas is you can setup a cool planted tank with lots of plant and wood and put a couple of female and they will usually live in harmony, it also works with one male with them but if your condition are good he will often make buble nests and it’s only once there’s eggs in the nest that he will become aggressive to the females as with bettas the male is the best dad in the world and even picks up every single falling eggs, the females don’t care, some even try to eat the eggs.

How do you tell a male from a female? And can 2 females have a happy fun life together without a male? I wouldn't want to breed them.

How cute!!! I think their noses look a little different than the pets they sell here... but if so, not much! What are their natural habits? Are they pests in any way?
