Good morning/afternoon all.
Bright, breezy and chilly here today.
I've was going to start tidying the garden, but there may still be bees and other insects hibernating in leaf litter and wood piles etc so I'm going to leave it for a few more weeks.
There's plenty of other things I can get on with though.
Hope you all have a good Thursday!
TTFN

You can't overload me on wood working. I love seeing beautiful wood turned into something nice. And other crafts also. I use pictures of crafts for inspiration when I want to do something myself.

Ok...I had a thought...I was talking to Y about my strange tulips, and she said I was supposed to dig up the bulbs and "{let them rest over winter, I have several other bulb types you are supposed to "let them rest over winter". We hibernate our tortoises to "let them rest over winter" somebody needs to invent a chamber that we can get in and the quick freeze us like in the old Flash Gordon series so people like me could "rest over winter" if plants and animals can do it...my third last ex-husband certainly would fit the criteria

You get some nice near freezingy temps out there in the PNW. No reason to dig up tulips/daffodils etc that pretty much require a good “chill period” to enable blooming. It’s only in those southern locations where they have to remove & chill bulbs to get them to bloom again.

➡️➡️ A chill hour is the amount of chilling received by a plant at 45 degrees F. The chilling requirement is the total number of hours required during the winter for a particular cultivar to induce the tree/bulb to break dormancy and produce flowers. Regions vary greatly in the amount of chilling they receive.

Ok, so help me remember. . .

I have to clean the leaves off my garage roo f - metal building, metal roof, metal+wet leaves= rusty roof. This means leaning a ladder up against the garage and climbing up about 10' in order to reach the top of the roof. This is not something I'm interested in doing at my age. So I want you all to help me remember what that device is called that painters use. It's got two support thingeys on either side spaced apart with a platform between them that you stand on. I need to know the name so I can ask my friend Amazon if they sell it. If not, I'm sure Harbor Freight probably does. What is it?

I think they're just called work platform ladders or combination ladders.

Maybe she just needs cleaned out. Kind of Like you would do for a prep before a colonoscopy only Tortoise digestive cleansing ways and. .i know how stupid that sounds but it actually helped me with the microscopic colitis that I have. Maybe she has microscopic issues from her past and flushing her system would get rid of a lot of that. Enough for her immunities to take over and win.
