COLD DARK ROOM

Forget the word.....feel....in my post. ?
Yes it is my favorite meat also. I love the neck roast better than the tenderloin. My son Jim filets the meat off the neck and then we roll it up and tie with string. It melts in your mouth. Yum Yum?

I make a mean veggie soup with added barely, tomato and veggies. My version of beef barley veggie soup but it's deer instead.?

Yesterday I received a phone call from a gal I used to know in the local turtle club. She's made me a meat loaf and will be bringing me a care package today! That, and the many get well cards I received in the mail from fellow Forum members has lifted my spirits tremendously! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Yesterday they removed my Plaster of Paris splint and stitches, and I was given a fancy velcro wrist brace, and was told to baby my arm and come back and see them in 4 weeks.

As to the fractured patella, I'm still hopping along behind my walker on one leg with my other leg in a brace and my knee appointment is next week.

(@Ray--Opo - I have so much admiration and appreciation for you!!!)

Ok folks, more show n tell.

Went out to work on the deck and we found this little long legged guy hanging out on the window screen. Yep, a ”Walking Stick” - not the type @Tidgy's Dad uses, but a real live insect.

And, by special request @EllieMay a quick pix of the deck in progress.

I usually have praying mantis every year here. I look lazy because I won't clean up last year's vines until I see the babies.

When I was in 2nd grade (a century ago), one day we were outside for recess. I wandered up to a boy who was intently looking at something in his hands.

I looked and was horrified! He had a praying mantis and was pulling its wings off! Torture for the fun of it. I told him to stop, and he laughed at me. So I attacked him.

I landed a couple good punches on him, and the playground monitor caught us.

I explained what I had seen (the evidence was writhing on the ground). We both got a good lecture about how fighting wasn't a good way to resolve problems, and...blah, blah, blah.

Nothing else came of it. I think the monitor was on my side, but she had to say something.

Now, I suspect he'd pull a gun on me, shoot me and anyone else within range, and cause a giant media feeding frenzy over 7 year olds packing in school. What ever happened to a good 'ole fistfight where the argument died with a couple bloody noses?
