Just got home from Animal Eye Care of Richmond. Our chow Arabella got a double eye tuck to keep her eyelashes from rubbing her eye! I can see her eyes again! Dr. Michael Blair is an unbelievable animal eye surgeon!
Great news.
Gotta love Arabella. :<3:
And being able to see is pretty good.

And the winner of the Gold Medal for August is............
Drum roll........................

What's a drum roll? Bread shape like a drum, I suppose.
Yum.

Anyway, it's Cathie @Cathie G with a whopping 51 points.

I think she must have cheated.

Congratulations, Cathie, you obviously said enough nice things about me to win the month.

Good afternooning all. Today we explored Berry Pomeroy Castle which is owned by the Seymour family whose most famous ancestor is probably Jane, 3rd wife of King Henry VIII.

It‘s a ruin now, but we enjoyed exploring it and then went for a walk in the woodland around the castle.

This helped to build up an appetite for a traditional Devonshire cream tea. I had to lift this photo from their website because I forgot to take one before we tucked into scones, jam and clotted cream accompanied by a pot of tea.

The weather has been so good here, but we finally had rain this afternoon while we were having our tea.
Mesmerizing! I’m would have loved to tag along on that trip. Thank you for sharing!

Buried bodies would be archaeology.
I'm a palaeontologist so the location of buried modern hominids is not in my sphere of interest. View attachment 305030
My DIL, is the same, sorta, she runs the bone department at OSU, Native American bones, and she'd be real mad right now if I'm not quite such just how important she is, or thinks she is.
I'd like to say how delighted I am that this thread always gets stronger and stronger when I am on one of my, erm, sabbaticals.
Thanks to everyone who loves it here and contributes to this thread. :<3:
It's was great last month to come back and catch up with old friends and meet and learn about new ones.
But the points are in for August.

Thanks for your contributions, but please try to post a bit more, I don't not see enough of you in here. ;)
Some of you I'd like to know better, the others I miss seeing you around the Cold place. :tort:

We are going into Autumn here.
Have a lovely Spring.
Glad you got a bit of rain, please send it our way when you're done.
I can certainly send you some! I finally got a couple hours in the saddle while it was cool and got Rained out ?. It’s superfluous here! After Laura came through, everything was sufficiently watered... then the light rain and sporadic showers and everything was saturated... now it’s in our forecast daily the rest of the week! Me thinks we’ll be swimming! And to top it all off, I had to spend one of my free hours cleaning and oiling my saddle!!!!

But we haven't heard from Chubbs since Aug 2nd. Now I know things change and people change, but frankly I thought there was genuine affection happening there. Besides he wouldn't be who he was without me. I was the Laurel to his Hardy. I actually do kinda wonder about him

We haven’t had any rain here, I’ve been riding every day. Well, not really the kids ride and I scoop poop. I’m trying to get it all done now before it does rain, it’s so heavy when it’s wet.

Just now I saw a squirrel take off with one of the only apples on our apple trees. What a little minx! We haven’t had much this year, I usually have enough to make at least 3 apple pies. The bad thing is what the squirrels don’t get, the birds do. ?
I know EXACTLY how you feel! I have a gorgeous fig tree that produces an exponential amount of figs... only I never get to harvest any because the squirrels get them all just before they are fully ripe... I don’t know how to deter the little bastards!
