COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

I have four tortoise sheds. Three of them are divided in half inside to hold two different species of tortoise, and all of the sheds have access to their own yard. Inside three of the sheds is a tort table built on one wall for smaller tortoises that aren't ready to live with the big guys yet.

So, this past week, I updated the SA leopard shed, rearranging all the electrical on one wall, and building a new tort table, bigger than the one that was already there. Then I worked in the Manouria/RF shed, fixing the electrical on one wall and cleaning out the tort table. Yesterday I finished the leopard/YF shed and its tort table, moving the little YF out to the table. So all I have left to winterize is Dudley's shed. All I have to do in there is re-set the timers and make sure all the lights/heat are working. Oh, and clean out the mountain of poop I've been neglecting.

So once I've finished with that, I can start moving plants into the greenhouse! It took me a long time to get my ambition back, but I've finally got it!

I am so glad you are feeling more your usual self Yvonne. It must be trying to think of snow that did it

Sounds like you have been very productive!

I like that rigid foam. The stuff we buy here is actually compressed styrofoam beads. Works ok, but makes a mess when you cut it.

Btw I think you forgot to mention the snow. [emoji23] [emoji23]

SNOW ???? Who mentioned snow ?
I hate snow and cold weather. I am much too old for sledging and I don`t like sleigh rides with my car. I get angry and frosty when I have to pull my car out of a big pile of snow that has fallen on it. My knees hurt when it`s cold and my temper gets bad.
I need no snow and I want no snow !
Snow is for children, not for me.

Good evening friends all over the world.
In Germany we have a wonderful Indian Summer these days. Nights are cold, a little bit frosty and foggy but today at highnoon the sun was shining warm. The trees lose their colorful leaves and the days are getting shorter and shorter. In the evening we have had a wonderful red sundown. The red warm sundown shows that tomorrow the weather will be warm again. Yaaaahhhhyyyy !!!!!
But autumn is here and soon it will be winter. I`ve said "Good bye" to the wonderful summer we have had with little tears in my eyes. Can`t wait for the next spring.....
My feelings are always the same when autumn comes: Sad that the warmth of summer is over and a little bit "fear" because of winter.
Can somebody understand me ?

Who can not like zinnias....one by one as singletons, or an entire bed full. Wonderful.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around snow, Christmas, sleigh bells, cold, snow, and did I mention snow? for you folks where it's summer in December.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!!

I want some of that ambition. You are amazing and I am so so impressed.
