COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Hmmmm.
I think Sunday dinner wins every day of the week!
I'm not very fond of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I like the one near me now and then. It's a great alternative to fast food burgers and fries in a pinch. Because of my forgetfulness we are having a cooked Sunday dinner instead.?

I still have bumble bees but haven't seen a honey bee for several years.?

That’s treally bad news on the biodiversity front

Good mornynooning, Roommates.
Tis a bit quiet in here today.
Never mind, I'm sure it'll liven up nicely when I reveal that today is National Golf Lover's Day.
Hmmm.
Well, that's not me.
Apart from Crazy Golf, of course.

I've played put put and failed miserably. I hated watching it on Sundays too as a child. Boring...I always thought I hated golf. Until I was watching over an elderly lady that played golf in her younger years. She enjoyed watching the Sunday games on TV so I shared that time with her. To my surprise, I found myself standing and cheering like I was at a football game. How do the fans stay so quiet????

wow, our garden is full of honey bees. This year i left a very large swath of the back lawn unmowed as part of the “no mow May” movement. Lots of clover, flowering weeds, etc that bees like. Of course there are the dandelions. Plenty of dandelion blooms too for the honeybees. ?

Yes. I still have other bees and wasps and such but no honey bees. The last I read, they're being attacked by a fungus. The last little honey bee I remember stung me but I don't remember seeing many since then anywhere near me. That was years ago.

Good good good! I have lots of dandelions, clover, etc too but still no honey bees. I don't spray weedkillers, bug killers, etc... but what do my neighbors do?

Busy today. We have a 15 ft by 20 ft wooden deck that we are going to now replace the decking. In Spring, before the grape vines grew, we replaced all the hand rails, steps, etc & stained. Now, it’s the decking. Hardest part is lifting up & removing the current planking. Old zinc nails don’t pull out easily.

Of course, wifey loves it when I use our kitchen island to lay out the cut pieces ....

 

[Chubbs the tegu]

We happen to have a good one here close to my grocery store. Because I forgot to stop by their drive thru I'm cooking ? Chicken, mashed potatoes, noodles and a veggie. Whatever...

Yeah it really depends on the individual KFC.. some are not as good

I expect they're all asleep.

Mine would be delighted.

Here is the thread for those who know about raising baby Sulcatas.

Deciding to get a baby Sulcata!

So I’ve already read Tom’s care sheet and I still have about a billion questions. I luckily have a month to do research and prepare as this was a special birthday request for my oldest. I’ve got all the enclosure stuff down except type of hydrometer and night heating element to use for the...
