Don't EVER give up!!! That's the main thing that's wrong with your generation 'Quitters' I don't give up; even tho I can no longer remember what I was guessing on, hahaha

We have 4 species of T it visit our garden... Blue, Coal, Long Tailed and Great.

Marsh T its are common at the rescue. They’re pretty little birds

I'll have to look those up again. It's an interesting subject to me. Our yard has gold finches, hummingbirds, and many other visitors. I just enjoy watching them and trying to figure out what they are. Knowing that enables me to help them if needed.

Amen to that.

Found this little guy crossing the back garden this morning. Could even see the long path through the grass where she crawled to our back garden. (Ahem.....much better than Chipmunks!!)

Maybe you'll get a permanent once in a while visitor. That would be fun to watch.

Nagh, too many neighbors & houses and cars & dogs & ppl. We have a big back forested area...but Boxies like to travel.

How beautiful! How can you resist keeping him? I realize it's probably illegal for you.

They don't travel as far as the other shelled critters. At least that's what I read. That's one of the reasons why it's so cruel to release one anywhere except where they were taken. I've read their territory is only a few miles around 5. I could be wrong.?

I hope all of you had a wonderful day! And especially, to all of you Dads out there!

I know 6.30am on a Sunday is an odd time to be baking, but I just made Some of these. I put the recipe together for my kids when they were at university

Easy Microwave Chocolate Brownies

You will need a suitable microwaveable dish for this.

I have 20cm (8”) square silicon tray which doesn’t need greasing.

If using a ceramic or glass dish it MUST be greased thoroughly before use!

If using a round dish it should be approximately 22cm (8.5”) diameter ideally. However, it doesn’t matter that much

You all have scales in grammes to weigh your tortoises don’t you? Plain flour is All Purpose flour in the US.

I seem to remember reading a 2 mile radius!!! I had torturous nightmares over all of the ones I picked up to “play with” before I knew any better :-(
