COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

It’s hot & humid (again). Luckily, this weather is pretty good for our figs that are starting to ripen. Some should be ready tomorrow.

Hi all, thanks for checking! Life has been busy trying to get elementary-age kids to stop hugging, sharing juice boxes, and holding hands. It is so sad that they have to grow up like this. How is everyone?

I had a really wonderful experience today ?. The hummingbird that keeps coming to my feeder actually came to the window of my storm door. S/he displayed several times. I am blessed is all I can say. ? Even though I've not been able to get a picture yet. I'm working on it.

 

[Snoopy’s mom]

Thanks. We are all good and plodding along. Looks like itʻs been pretty lively here in the CDR as usual. I even learned a new phrase - the difference between chalk and cheese. I like that one.

 

[Cathie G]

The truth is it hasn't been busy in any of the chatty places here. ? Even though everyone is so busy they check in when they can. I'm happy to see you?. Having young children would be especially trying since they have so much love for each other that they can't help themselves. They just gotta spread all the love around.? Keep plodding along.?

She/he is probably thanking you for the food. ??
You are one of the good ones!

Soooo glad @Yvonne found you!
I thought you were never coming back!
I am happy to hear you have been busy with kids rather than being sick or something.
When you can….
could you drop in from time to time just so we know you have a heart beat still? ?
Miss you!!!!
Glad you are ok!

Yaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!
Lots of luck!
And post lots of pictures so Maggie can see him a few times..
You are a dear person for taking in this little one.
Happy days ahead my friend! ?????

Yes actually, Sally was a bit off kilter?
She had a straining problem all night and I was forced to sleep on the bathroom floor with her in the tub all night. Banging and thrashing like a tuna fresh out of the water!
It was awful and I was very scared for her.
My back was killing me today. Stupid floor.
I’m thinking of carpeting it? ?
Can you even do that?? Carpet a BATHROOM floor??? ?
I hope all is well with you , either way you are always in my prayers. ??

???! wow chef...even I wouldn't do that...on the floor? Why?

Great!

 

[Chefdenoel10]

???! wow chef...even I wouldn't do that...on the floor? Why?

Because she needed to soak and the wayer kept getting cold. You guys say warm water right? So every like two hours I had to change the water or she would go NUTS straining….
Update :
Next day two LARGE ? in morning
Then one large ? in afternoon.
I can see why she was straining!!??
Poor soul… at least it was in wayer to sooth her but area….?

Something ? I'm still kind of dumbfounded by all of it. Or maybe the word is in awe of it. But even my first sighting of her is kind of a mystery to me. I didn't have anything in my front yard to have a hummingbird start showing up. So I put up a feeder. I think she should say thanks by letting me get a good picture.?

Poor Chef - and poor Sally. I was wondering if it would be a good idea for you to have an inflatable air mattress handy in your bathroom, so you would have something to lie on, which wouldn't matter if it got wet, if Sally has this problem again. Also, of course, it could come in handy if you have another flood ! I'm sure Gary would enjoy a boat ride with you !

Get a cot or at least an air mattress. I stopped being able to sleep on the floor without padding 25 yrs You want to be able to walk, doncha?

Yep. He is relentless about escaping.

Finally got the opening bricked in and window installed. Had to reorder the window as it didn’t have the mullions the first time. Chose to match texture of brick instead of color since the color matching brick had a smooth surface. I will have to do a little antiquing and such to dial in the color but I am not worried! It has been FN hit here! Hope all y’all are doing well!

Wow, that looks great. Nice job.
