She is beautiful. I would live pics as you go along. I like to see what other people do in the hopes I can steal a few good ideas.I love the glimpse I get into everyone's lives here in the CDR. I wonder if that's what Adam means by "the CDR is too much like FB." That's what I like about CDR. . . the personal stuff. I don't like FB at all. I only belong to the tortoise classified FB page, and I belong to FB under an assumed name so no one who knows me will want to 'friend' me. I'm antisocial.
So, on the "personal" note, and keeping up with our sharing theme, I'm working on building a tort table in the leopard shed. There's already one in there, but it's only about 1.5 x 3' and the little leopard that has to live in there over the winter is too big for that space. So I'm making a new one all across the short side of the shed. It will be 2'x6'. I'll take pictures as I go. I received the little leopard from one of our members in SoCal. Her name is Kim, but I can't remember her username. She rescued the tortoise from very poor conditions then sent it to me. Here's pictures from when I first got it:

And here's Little Kim today, two years later:

I wish I could remember the username of the gal who sent her to me so I can show her how nicely Little Kim is doing. She's quite heavy. Of course, the pyramiding will never go away, but that's beside the point. I don't care about that. She's just about doubled in size in the two years I've had her.
So, time to go get tortoise food ready and get on with my day.
So does it bother you guys when I share pics of my dog or my kids?
I miss Adam.
No not at all. I love them.So does it bother you guys when I share pics of my dog or my kids?
I miss Adam.
I was wondering about that. And I would like to join this year please.Good afternoon all. Sorry for my absence. I have been working. Given that Adam, created the CDR and said that anything goes and encouraged our friendship, I really don't understand why he doesn't like the chat. We are friends and we share our news, act silly and dust off Montgomery when he gets to cobwebby.
Given that we don't appear to have him back for his birthday, it leaves me concerned for TORTOISE and the card exvhange.
@Yvonne G could you set up the message threads again please?. I will message you a list of last year's participants
Newbies, we will explain once we get started, but give us a couple of weeks to find out if Adam is going to lead as we would all prefer.

Good day alll
A few things going on as we close out September and move into Autumn.. lots to do in the garden. Been trimming our massive hybrid poplars (started as mere twigs a few years ago and are now trees) and shredding the trimmings, cleaning out the perennial beds, cleaning water fountains, leaf trimming on banana trees.
Then there is perfect kayaking weather..cool morning temps just reaching low 80’s, some sunshine, big skies, but water still warm enough to swim..
Always tons of things in, on,around the house...gutter cleaning, mulching, trimming hedges, painting (if rain stops), cleaning out years of accumulated things...
And, working on a new fully insulated “night box” for our Sully and prepping indoor quarters. No small feat. Going to try and use a modified version of Tom’s Sulcata night box. Pix along the way hopefully.
Pix of the eagle I spotted the other day...

Peaceful, relaxing and satisfying was for me when I took a long ride with my two horses and see wonderful nature together with two animals that are so strong but had been so relieable and calm. A life assurance on 8 legs. I saw a lot of wild animals from the back of my horses. It was a wonderful time and sometimes I miss it.I had horses, but they were mainly for my piece of mind. Cleaning the paddock was like going on a fishing trip. . . very peaceful, relaxing and satisfying.
I can`t understand Adam neither. Maybe he has too much problems with himself that he isn`t able to see "the forest for the trees", that the CDR is not like Facebook.I love the glimpse I get into everyone's lives here in the CDR.

No, it don`t bother me at all when someone shares pics of children, dogs, cats, nature, buildings, cars, houses, museums .......So does it bother you guys when I share pics of my dog or my kids?

Hello Linda. I could e-mail Adam and ask him about TORTOISE and the Christmas Card exchange when you want.Good afternoon all. Sorry for my absence. I have been working.

Yip my favorite day of the work week. I will be working a little bit in the garden this weekend. Fixing up the outside enclosure so that it is nice and cosy for Whitey and she will be happy.
Tonight I get to go out for dinner - we are trying a new chinese restuarant in our area. So hopefully it will be very yummy.
I planted all the dandelion seeds that Lena sent me in the outside enclosure. So hopefully they grow into nice big dandelions for the torts.
Anyway - Have an awesome Friday everyone. I hope you are looking forward to your weekend - I know that I am.
