All caught up. Was busy this weekend as well. Did gardening in prep for summer on saturday. And Sunday was spent cloths shopping for Jarrod. The shops have nothing for boys. Either that or my youngest is extremely fussy. Actually it was a combination of both. Sigh. I do not do well shopping. Anyway. It was a good weekend.

G’day all

Just catching up on postings since I was out most of Sunday - yep, kayaking at one of our new favorite spots. This new access provides access to the Chesapeake Bay north of Annapolis, but also provides easy access to some smaller more protected creeks that enter the Bay. Calm waters, nice houses, lots of wild and birdlife, not much motorboat traffic, etc.

We also paddled by one of my favorite “cute” houses with a nice garden, teak bench, and it’s on the water.

And here’s a nice old tree laying in the water...right at the start of our paddle.

We started out in very cloudy, wet, overcast conditions.....but the SUN did come out, warmed things up and it turned into a very great day on the water.

Have a great day... back to reading up and watching snails and prepping the house and garden for the remnants of Hurricane Florence that arrives a bit later today.

Hi Mark. Florence will reach you today ? Good luck and stay safe. Hopefully Florence is not so bad.

Hi All, I know I don't post on here a lot but I do read everything so I know what's going on with you all!! I think you all know that last week I had the pleasure of meeting Adam and his wonderful wife. I was in Fes as part of a tour of Morocco so was able to meet up with him. He really is an amazing person and we had such a good, fun evening. I feel very lucky to have been able to meet up with him and am honoured to have him as a friend. If any of you should find yourselves in Fes he is quite easy to track down!! I hope you all have a good Monday!

Yes. The bands of rain that SOAKED North and South Carolina are on the outskirts of Maryland now...should be arriving soon. Just lots of rain for two hours - then mid 80’s and SUNSHINE.

Hey TFO friends. My dad has suffered some setbacks and he's being moved to hospice today. If y'all could send some good thoughts and prayers for my family I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Your tortoise garden is beautiful. I like the white fence around the enclosures.:)

Thank you Sabine! I just did that last week. I ordered those panels off of eBay pretty cheap. They are meant to push in the ground but I screwed them to the enclosure for stability. It also just looked better:)
