[Cathie G]

I said it once before and I’ll say it once AGAIN…..

YOUR POOR WIFE!!!!!!!!!

You would be sleeping in the garage if that were me!!!!!
And your tarantulas WOULD BE COUNTED and sleeping with YOU in THE GARAGE each night!

Have you ever seen her smile oh my garsh I'm sure she's got it all in control.

Smile???!…..
WITH TARANTULAS IN HER HOUSE???….
Oooohhhh nnoooooooo….
I highly doubt it.
Her smile is just a “poker face” she puts on before she asks him to buy her something nice ..

My little zebra finches start going to their nests as soon as I start (I guess it's spring cleaning time) and all these little strips of paper start floating to the floor of the cage. I no sooner think I'm done sweeping then I gotta sweep again. They have great fun lining their nests with clean paper. They tear it in long strips and line their nests with it. I'm surprised at the length of the strips those tiny little birds can manage to get situated into their nests. They're so cute

Yes, Making a mess, is my kids ONLY job! A busy bird is a Happy Bird...

Good morning all, half way through another week.
It's quite a grey day here but warmish.
From watching Lola this week I think he has learnt to tell the time.
He seems to know that on sunny days the sun doesn't hit his favourite spot until about midday and that's when he wants to be outside. Before that he just gets up has some breakfast and then goes back to bed for a while.
What a lovely life he has!!
I hope you have a good Wednesday and I'll see you later.

Yesterday we made a quick trip to Sam's Club where I received my COVID-19 booster shot & also got the Whooping Cough vaccine. Didnt have to wait for anything…. Now…do ppl still get whooping cough.

Cold, bright & windy here. Some gardening things to do, cut some grass for our Sully, some wood working (going to try something new), finish up painting a second wooden Easter Bunny egg.

Friday looking much nicer…frost tonight = seedlings inside.

Yes, whooping cough is still going around, just not very prevalent, and it's important if your around young children, as it can really affect them if they catch it from you.
Looking forward to the new wood project!

I kept an aviary of orange chin parakeets (Brotogeris jugularis) for many years. I loved watching them tear paper for the nest box. She would tear a long strip, bite, bite, bite along the edge, then tuck it under the feathers on her back. When she felt she had enough strips back there she'd fly to the box and start decorating. Quite interesting and fun to watch.

I have 2 Goffin Cockatoo's that will break off pieces of wood from toy's in their cage and then do a balancing act with the pieces on their heads, grabing it with a foot and twirl it around, drop it and pick it up again, to repeat the game. They will do this for 10 to 15 min at a time...Funny to watch

Hay does anyone just like a simple spaghetti and sauce at times. Well... I found a sauce that's better then homemade. Especially, since I don't have to cook it but it's actually better than mine and I found it cheap

I'm quite fond of Traditional style Ragu. I add sauteed onions and ground beef and "Bob's your uncle!!"

Sometimes they change to corn syrup in stuff I love. Ragu used to be my favorite go to and they did it. I can't do corn. Then I found Classico with the canning jars for free included I still have some and always keep the jars. But Tantillo was half price at $3 so I decided to just try it. I will use it as much as possible from now on.

My brother loved your other half cracked bunny egg and me too. I can't wait to see the other one and I really can't wait to see what your new project is and yes virus do keep making their rounds. Bacteria too. It's been windy here and cold even though my WiFi weather stations said it was 90f in the sun in the backyard. It would have been warm enough for Sapphire in the front yard except the wind was blowing.. I'd have to have more than my little walking rock in my pocket to keep me down so he didn't get to go out

My grandparents love the bosveld!
I forgot to add this photoView attachment 343645
There is no fencing, so you sleep on a cleared area in the veld. So wildlife, and lions, walk just past where you're sleeping. My grandparents fenced themself in with a windscreen and their cars
(My grandfather has a friend that camped alone in the bushfield. It was night time and he sat by a fire. He then suddenly smelled something vile, indescribably putrid. He got a bad feeling and jumped into his bakkie, when he closed the door a lion emerged from the darkness and walked past... He smelled it's breath!)
*Bakkie means little bowl. It also means truck/pickup truck

*Correction, this was in the Botswana area of the camp. The Botswana part has no fences.
Just found out the rule of the park is that you have a pass which you get when you go in and give back when you leave. If your car breaks down you DON'T get out. The rule is that you wait for help, there is no signal as well. If a car sees you're broken down, they report to head office and then they come and find you. Someone didn't return their pass, so they had to search for them at night time, but it was the night my grandparents left, so thet don't know what happened

Did you actually do those on your lathe? Or what? They are amazing in the wood working it took to do them.
