I can just make out his nose.

Natrah
The little white thingys are what happens to his ears for now. They flip backwards when he's running around like a little tornado. Then he just flops like a dust mop wornout. 😁He's maturing enough now though that he can hold up one ear or the other or both. It depends on how loud he needs his hearing aides.😜 I'm trying to get a picture of that.😊

I used to punt footballs...........so everything was rated on whether it could be punted or not. Mr Fre.....well.....LOL...just teasing, he's cute as heck!

Opy on the other hand, would break my foot, and leg, and hip, an.....

I screwed up last night. Been up all night more or less. I was on the phone with Kerry last night at 7pm and decided a cup of coffee would be good so I made some while we talked. We said goodnight(I'm over at the other house) and I went to play a new VR game. At 10:48 I took off the headset.....wound up because I had been flying fighters in combat for 3 solid hours. LOL I'm a dummy sometimes.
You are wound up from the activities and caffeine but are worn out by the day....= a yucky night!

Just waiting here for Amazon deliveries today....might mow the front yard. The remaining robot doesn't seem to want to "go" so I might do it with the mower and deal with the petulant robot later. I've got some "jack-in-the-beanstalk" grass going on since Kerry accidently doubled the application rate of my Super-sauce for the grass that I cooked up to make the lawn look good for sale. Speaking of sales...there are FIVE homes now for sale within 1 block of one another, 2 blocks from my home!!! All listed in the past month or 45 days.....I wonder, WHOM is the BAD NEIGHBOR that everyone is trying to escape from! LMAO

maybe it's me?

Good afternoon/evening all.
Weather still fine and dry here with some sunny spells so Lola has enjoyed being outdoors in his sheltered sunny spot.
I've just been pottering in the garden and enjoying my birds who haven't been put off by the neighbours contraptions which they have continued to add to - any more windmills and their fence will take off 😁.
My hedgehog is still visiting and spending most of the night feeding in my garden, my wildlife camera filmed him climbing up against the side of his feeding box to nab a snail near the top, which surprised me - I thought they only went for things they found on the ground. They have a better sense of smell than I thought - bit gruesome to watch though 🤢 (I fast forwarded).
Nothing else very exciting happening at the moment.
I hope you're all having a good week, see you soon.
Nos Da

Sapphire is starting to get to go outside. It's finally getting warm enough so he got outside today. It's his second day out. I've had him out in earlier years before May but this year is acting more normal. It's supposed to be no mow May but our planet hasn't caught up yet. I wish people could read.

WHAT? You mean I mowed 1/3rd acre with the push mower and I didn't have to?

LOL
Yep but I had to have our yard mowed also . 🤔 cause the grass grew like a a hay field. We narrowly missed a citation. Somehow that doesn't seem fair because it's only the 10th and our city is supposedly conservationists 😉

Good morning/afternoon all,
We've had a beautiful few days here but warnings are out for thunderstorms tomorrow and Monday look like a complete wash out - never mind the plants need it. The temps are set to drop by 11 degrees next week too - it's about 75F in my garden at the moment so it will feel quite chilly again - can't put my winter woolies away yet. Lola won't be happy.

I'm really fed up that one of dental crowns/caps broke right off this morning so there's no hope of fixing it. I think I'll see if I can have an implant to replace it. It's on the bottom so can't really be seen but it feels strange. When I'm stressed I tend to grind my teeth which is why I needed a crown in the first place, so I think I must have fractured what was left of the original tooth again. Never mind, thankfully there's no pain.
I'm an NHS patient so treated as a second class citizen by dentists in the UK and usually have to wait months for an appointment, but if I mention the magic word 'implant' which are only available as private treatment prices, I'm sure they'll see pound signs and get me on asap.

The birds continue to visit. There's a lot of newly fledged starlings about. They can feed themselves but if any adults are around they demand to be fed and are very noisy about it. They'll soon be off though.

I hope your weather is being kind to you and you're having a good weekend - the weeks are flying by!!
TTFN

Did anyone happened to see this fri night. My son lives in Michigan and took these. With the naked eye you could barely see color. But when he took a picture you could really see the different colors.

Wow that 's fantastic! Much of the UK could see the northern lights too and I was out late looking for them but no luck. They said on TV that you'd see more through a camera lens.

Good morning/afternoon all. It's uncomfortably hot here but no sign of any thunder yet.
I've hardly seen Lola today. He's been outside for hours. I can't get over how much he's enjoying grazing on the grass this year. He developed a taste for it last summer, after not being at all interested in it for years before, but he's really tucking into it now. A leopard may not be able to change his spots but he's certainly changed his taste.

I hope everyone is having a peaceful Sunday.
