COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good afternooning all.

I have been been pretty the last week. Not least returning lost property found on my walks. A credit card on Friday and an earring yesterday.

The earring turned out to be a special fgift from the lady’s fiancé. She was practically in tears on my doorstep when I gave it back to her. This morning she dropped off a bunch of roses to say thank you

At the rescue it continues to be busy. Now we have finally pinned down who the aviary bully is (a Great T-it) he has been evicted and the birds in there are much happier.

I made a batch of face masks for my fellow volunteers and said they could have one in exchange for a donation to rescue funds. They’re reversible. Spots one side and hedgehog print the other. I raised just over £80!


We have four hedgehogs visiting our garden now. However, two of them aren’t getting on by the looks of this video!

More cooking. We’ve picked fresh large Muscadine grape leaves from our vines & have now blanched them. Next is pickling for a few days — then wifey is going to make stuffed grape leaves.

Good morning!!! I have already put in an hour for my “paying job” but I feel like being stingy with my time today. I picked out a few more pictures to share from the weekend...
our cabin was located at the end of a peninsula with an inter coastal canal on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.. driving in was this little Shanty that housed some goats and chickens.. the goats liked to gaze from the roof and we’re seen frequently grazing on the peninsula..
The next pic was the view from the kitchen window. The point that you can see across the water in the pic was where all the sea shell and cactus were.. the dolphins fed there daily also..
My son really enjoyed exploring and digging in the walls of the bluff there..
And lastly, you’ll see Cinder with her new best pal Harley.. Harley is my brother’s Olde English bulldog.. he’s just a pup and growing fast.. I had ordered Cinder a cooling vest that arrived the day before we left. She had previously been unable to spend much time outside due to the heat. The vest was worthy every penny!! She was able to go for pretty long walks with me with out even a hassle!

Screen shot. I'm so glad everybody got to have some fun.

That's funny and so cute. Saphire used to have a cat friend to warm up to. Sadly that cat died. I now have Dilly though. He's pretty good with my house bunny but I don't trust him with Saphire. Dilly might get scared and bat him with his claws.

That sounds sooo good. What are you stuffing them with?

How did Cinder get her name? With you being in Texas (where Rooster Teeth is located), I'm curious if there's a RWBY reference, by any chance. Or maybe I just confused some people...

Just made a post in General Discussion about losing Opo and finding him.
The name of the post is " Opo lost, Opo found! My hand is still shaking so I don't feel like posting the story again.

Also I ordered it from a seller on eBay named grammybrenda1 from Richmond, Virginia. I now highly recommend her stuff. I am going to order an extra battery or two for gp. But the camera and accessories are as if I bought it new. Now I have to learn something that's been on my bucket list since I was a child.?

Oh so sorry you had that happen. I'll read it. That's what happens to me if something like that happens to me with my animals. Glad to see the Opo found.

Red Lady in all of her glory. This was from a couple months ago, her first time outside (on the front porch), on a leash instead of in a container. A big world for a (not as little as she used to be) bearded dragon lady. She's a year old now.

Interesting holiday. I was looking at the Bolivar Peninsula on GoogleMaps to kind of figure out where you visited. Your references to seeing goats....and then I see Goat Island too.
