So a large group of “blackbirds” flew into my front windows today... one of them
Lay stunned on the porch so I performed mild rescue before one of my other critters thought he was dinner... we are successful and he made it to the treetops after a short period.. beautiful bird.. it was an amazing feeling as he actually gripped my finger and gave me his trust..

the whole flock flew into your window? Silly birds. Some people who have that problem will put decals or something like that on the glass so birds can tell it's not a place to fly. Good job on 'fixing' the silly bird!

Goodmorning, nothing planned today for me. Maybe I should check off something on the honey do list!
Hope everyone has a good day!
My plan for the day is to go shopping, trying not to breathe in other people's germs, then come home and water the plants. If I still have energy after that maybe I'll bring a few plants out of the greenhouse.

Gray & overcast today, but warming. All of the flowering trees are now blooming. What are normally gray, green bla regular trees burst into colors along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Amazing what a few warm days, no heavy frosts, no snow can do.

Yesterday & today, ive moved my 20 plus fig trees back outside. They are budding & leafing out now, so, it’s time. Cute little fig leaves.

Might get to bring Sully out early this year ?

I have had some “singles” hit it over the years... and one time a hawk broke it trying to get to a squirrel that I was rehabbing.. his cage just happened to sit by the window as I was trying to ease him into the outside world.. first time a whole group hit it... scared the mess out of me at first.. I expected to see them all over my porch and was pretty surprised that there was only the one... tough little buggers I guess:) I don’t think decals will work because the whole wall facing the water is windows....?

Hi, gang, hope everyone's well and their torts and turtles are happy and healthy.
Look what turned up in the post yesterday.

Thanks, Carol!
The candy cane is rather squished and you can see on the envelope where it's been though the ink of a franking machine or something. Golly.
Talking of late, Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New Year.
Thanks to all of you who remembered me and sent a Christmas card, much appreciated.
This has all changed, new layout to the forum.
Feels uncomfortable, but I'm sure one would soon get used to it.
Anyway, I'm off out lemming hunting, wifey's practising her sleeping again and Tidgy's very proud having won a small prize as a runner up in an art competition where one had to draw something Megalodon related. Here is her effort.

Stay safe and take care all!
Lots of love and hugs,
Adam.

I moved a lot of my house plants back outside because all our trees and stuff were blooming...today the paper says we'll be in the high 20's for the next 5 days...My Sulcata won't even go out when I push him...guess I'll bring my cactus back in... :(
