Hey Guys!
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Another two inches of RAIN overnight here, with massive amounts of rolling thunder & lightning. Three hours worth of storms from 2300-0200 this morning.... grass is green, plants growing. We planted a few 100 sunflower seeds yesterday afternoon, I’m hoping the rains soaked them in nicely & will jump start them.
Luffas (pix below) about ready to plant outside. I just wish it would get back to “normal” temps. We’ve been below normal all of April.

Wonderful Sabine, thank you so much!
There are 2 songs that brings a tear to my eyes.
Amazing Grace and the National Anthem.
You performed it great!
Hope you are staying safe.
Thanks again ?
Hello good morning!

That's Arrow sitting on his new betta leaf sofa.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Should I share pix of our first Knockout Rose bloom, first Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) or the pretty much just completed Thatched Cottage Bee Lodge? Voting is now open.
I enjoyed it a lot. It so fits. I've had little miracles during this pandemic. One was your post urging me to take Echinacea which I knew I should but I was being a bit lax. Another is Arrow, my little betta, actually finally got well. And many other things to be grateful for such as my friends here on TFO. It's those "little things" that are amazing grace for me.?
All of thee above! Please
I'm thinking a type of gourd but...
It's always the afternoon by the time I manage to get to chat. That's just due to critters, daily chores, and sitting on my butt when I get a chance. It was beautiful and hope yours was too and your evening even better.☺
Do you have more cold weather coming by the end of the week?
I know some parts of Michigan are going to get snow.
Goodmorning everyone, wow almost 6 hrs since the last post and that was me.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Hope everyone has a good day!
Yes.....we are now wetter & colder! Averaging about 10 degrees below our normal. Sun is up now, but more ??? by the afternoon. ?
Ok....
So it was a good gardening day yesterday with all kinds of things popping out of the ground. It’s been cool, but plants blooming.
Our first Knockout Rose of the Year - plenty more to open
Last month we found a bleeding heart growing all by itself back in the woods. I dug it out and transplanted to our perennial bed in the front of our house. Bloomed yesterday morning.
Common bleeding heart plants (Lamprocapnos spectabilis, aka Dicentra spectabilis)
Our nice large very pink peonies are so eager to bloom! They usually open right for US Mothers Day. I guess they are on schedule.
Last but not least, I pretty much finished up Bee Lodge No 3 with a proper straw thatched roof. It took some figuring out how to get the straw to stay put while getting it all completed. Rubber bands to the rescue.
Sorry for the over load of pictures. Enjoy the day, stay safe!
No such thing as overload in here!
Cool breezy and light rain in east Texas... great morning .
Happy Tuesday all.

Thank you. Those flowers are as beautiful in your pictures as they would be if I could smell them myself. And the bee houses are an inviting new housing addition for our friends with wings.
It's afternoon for me. I always feel like it's a good day when I wake up another day. Sorry you didn't get your 8 hours. Are we too addictive???
Good evenooning all.
I am busy with school governor meetings this week. All held online of course.
Here in the UK, students sit public exams aged 16 which shape their future career choices. They are likely to sit more public exams aged 18 or may do a vocational qualification instead. However, with public exams cancelled this summer, each school has to submit projected grades to the exam boards with evidence to justify the grade. It’s a complete nightmare; we only have about 300 students across our schools affected which is relatively few compared to some. It’s so important that we do it right.
We ae also trying to plan for unknowns like when will the students be allowed back... and when they come back what will be the conditions surrounding distancing, cleaning, next year’s exams, etc. There are so many variables. And we have to try to ensure the young people aren’t affected for the rest of their lives by events beyond anyone’s control.
In other news, I have been asked if I am willing to go back to the wildlife rescue to volunteer again. They have come up with ways for a small number of us to work in isolation and have been choosey about who they have asked in as we will need to work unsupported and not need direction. So, from Monday, I shall be in weekly feeding baby birds. Apparently they’re inundated again. I am so looking forward to being back there, I have missed it, and will post pictures if I get chance to take them.
