Hello hello...missed chatting with you.?At least in the UK, you don't have to worry about such visitors having rabies...
Thanks! I've missed you, too!
Yes and I've been happy hearing on the news that your states doing really good with the pandemic. We have so many precious members there.
Cooler heads have prevailed here, for the most part. I think there's been some luck involved, too... but we'll take it. It's nice for this state to be in the news not royally screwing stuff up.
Thanks for thinking of me! ?❤️
Yes, it looks like we’re due for a lot of rain this weekend, but flooding shouldn't be a big problem where we are. This morning we (and by “we” I mean 90% hubby and 10% me ?) cleaned out our gutters in anticipation.
altho not a lot of wind is expected, I’ll still bring Elsa inside- I like to keep her with us for big storms in case limbs come down on her enclosure.
Hope y’all stay dry, too!
By the way: how are Bold and Pinstripe doing these days? ?
Very true. Our wildlife is all very low risk. None of it wants to kill you or carries disease that might (well not since the bubonic plague was eradicated anyway!)At least in the UK, you don't have to worry about such visitors having rabies...
The only country place like that I have been to is New Zealand. New Zealand only has one native mammal species, a small bat, all the mammals you see there were introduced by settlers. The plants didn’t need to evolve to warn off mammls so even they’re safe! It’s quite a difference from Australie where everything seems to want to kill you
It takes a while to get over it once.... Three times.... ?View attachment 296543My boys!!
If you don’t see the other threads, I found out today for sure that all three are males
Sorry to hear you’re feeling low. I am sure a few cuddles with Montgomery will help. We are always here to chat if you need us. Big electronic hug and welcome back
Good morning all! Hope that a pleasant Saturday is in store for all...I’ve got to go drop off the new windows 10 program to the people who are fixing my computer.. turned out that my hard drive failed so i had to replace that and all of my operating software.. it was outdated anyway but the expense of fixing it could have come at a better time. I also have to swing by Lowe’s for some more 10x10 boards to finish Crushers fence before my trip...
I have several short trips on the horizon that I’ve been stockpiling for. The first is coming up next weekend. Dad, brother, myself and children will be staying in a cabin off bolivar peninsula ( just outside galveston). Fishing directly off the back deck...crabbing below the docks, dolphin watching....maybe even kayaking over the manatees.. this trip is really important to me. I’ve been taking my dad to some specialist for testing. They found quite a bit of nastiness on a routine chest X-ray. We had a biopsy done Thursday so I am praying for some good news. They report from his first CT showed moderately extensive emphysema and probable pulmonary malignancy...any extra prayers are appreciated...
Anyway, after this trip, my sister and I are taking a road trip to Pensacola . ( I wonder if I have already told y’all this?)
And then a couple weeks later is the annual kayaking \ canoe trip on the buffalo river...
I seem to be very repetitive lately. I think my brain is struggling to keep up with everything so I apologize for the ramble.. what I really wanted to say was just Happy Saturday all!

Great! Lots of trips on the horizon & more pix & kayaking too! That lil Bolivar Peninsula cabin trip sounds wonderful. Once this pandemic inconvenience is “over” wifey and I need a trip!
Hope you don’t get too much rain from this next big storm.
Hey all,
a friend in Maryland found this little guy out in his back garden this morning after our rains. Looks like a type of box turtle, but doesnt have any of those bright colors I usually see on boxies. Does have that standard hinge...

Beautiful! Definitely a boxie. It can take a long time for more color to develop (if ever) on younger ones.
Good morning! Happy Saturday!
That visit to Pensacola gets you into the right state, but it's still "so close, but so far away..." I haven't gotten over to that far western part of the panhandle in decades...
Join the club. I barely have a grip on what day of the week it is , let alone anything else. I have my fingers crossed for good news about your Dad.
And as for rambling, that is the entire purpose of the CDR.Nothing is supposed to make sense in here, so it’s a really good place to get things off your chest even if you have said it multiple times before
Good evenooning all. It has been a very soggy afternoon here. Under the new lockdown rules my son arranged to meet a couple of mates outdoors this evening. He has gone, but they’re going to be pretty wet. It is such a shame. We have had lovely weather through lockdown and son and his friends have stuck to it complete. The first weekend they can meet, albeit out of doors and keeping 2 metres apart, the weather turns terrible
My trail camera decided to misbehave last night. The batteries were getting low so that was the obvious first thing to deal with. Unfortunately, the battery tray wouldn’t eject and I thought it was done for. JoesDad finally managed to extract it about an hour ago so it has gone back out with new batteries and we’ll see if that was the problem or something else. Fingers crossed for it working properly this evening. I need my hedgehog videos!

Hot, muggy, sticky & water logged garden. Sully is loving the rain. During a massive heavy thundershower last evening, we checked outside & there was Sully, big old large paws & head soaking up the rain. Even yawned a fee times during the downpour (maybe an easy way to drink).
Well...it is the sunshine state with salty air. At first the news was going on and on about spring break being a catastrophic thing. They've had to change their tune.?
That sounds so cute. I always worry about Saphire in a rain storm and check on him. Usually, he's just sitting there enjoying a soak.
