So is the move a good thing for you? I couldn’t tell your feelings from reading the post ?

Morning all. All last week our high temps were all in the 70’s (unseasonably warm), back to normal this week, with scattered showers & temps in the 60’s.
Grass & weeds & tortoise food all growing.
Happy Monday & start of the weekday.

That was actually 2 replies that somehow got merged. I'm having trouble w/the pop-up ads.
Both my in-laws died within 4 months of each other. It was a relief as neither one could understand that they were never going "home" because of their physical conditions & dementia & COVID kept us from seeing them in their facilities.
I will miss the mountains & foothills but I can no longer do the tough hikes & trail running anyway. Our neighbors all have non-stop barking dogs & 25 yrs. of this, along w/COVI, the population explosion & the political atmosphere, have sucked the joy out of living in Colorado.
So it's ironic that moving just 2 states away, draught is no longer a problem. There are lakes & big ponds, varieties of trees, lots of farms, more turtles, nicer people & fewer mask requirements. Home prices are less, & we're moving to a much nicer home on 2 acres where we can build an outdoor tort enclosure so I can get a tort.
2020 was hard on all of us. It was awful if your elderly family members were in the hospital or long-term care facilities or losing their independence; or like me, not being able to get medical care. So JoesMum, I know where you're coming from.

It’s been a day of surprises here
First off we woke to snow. I drove to the rescue in a blizzard and it looked very pretty for a couple of hours.
When I got home I checked our trail cameras and this happened
The creature is a European Badger. We have lived here for over 20 years and never seen one, or even found traces of one, here before. She is a lactating female so she has cubs somewhere. Those in the know tell me that she has probably moved out of the main sett to have her cubs somewhere quieter.
It is so unusual that I have recorded the sighting with the county mammal group and the county badger group. The latter is very excited about badgers in the middle of a town.
It isn’t all good news. Badgers are one of the few predators of hedgehogs. JoesDad and I have already hatched a plan to put a paving slab to stop her digging out the hedgehog hole again should she become a nuisance.

Fascinating!! These wildlife cameras sure catch stuff you didn't know was going on.
Holy cow! She's big!!
Poor you. But as much as you're able to be outside, I'm sure they will be able to be happy. Mr. Stucky was born from a rabbit owned by a butcher. I could tell from his actions that he knew it. Every time I brought him home from a vet visit he became more and more relaxed. He was a wonderful pet. I think Californians are better off outside anyway. Their hair can be a real problem.
That’s amazing!!! Your love for all Gods creatures is pretty rare and special. I love that you share this with us ?
Are you allowed to put some food out specifically for her? Just to help her out.
yes....ive seen all these ads.....

The lockdown finished off my favourite tearoom. It’s like losing a piece of myself | Emma Beddington
As the high street reopens, thousands of once-flourishing businesses remain shuttered. From huge department stores to tiny independents, they will be missed, writes Emma Beddington

Yavonne asked me to screen shot it and send it to Josh but I couldn't find the right button to tap. I'm not really good at that kind of stuff.
I always have trouble with posts and the pop up side thingys are driving me nuts ? I hope your move goes really smooth. And I understand why you would want to. ??
We could, but that has its snags too.
The things we might feed badgers are specifically not good for hedgehogs. Badgers adore mealworms and peanuts both of which cause MBD in hedgehogs
I think it’s probably better not to encourage her to come if at al possible
That’s a real shame. It is tiny though. It’s on Stonegate near the Minster and the Shambles, one oldest quaintest streets in York. They have a larger shop in St Helens Square which remains open. It doesn’t have half the character though.Devastating news in Yorkshire !

Good mornooning all.
It’s an important day today. I am getting a haircut for the first time since last December... HOORAY!!!!!!!!!! English hairdressers are finally allowed to trade again.
And tonight we are putting all our warm clothes on and going to a pub. They are only allowed to trade outdoors, so we will be in the beer garden at night in April and the temperature will be approximately 7C/44F... but who cares. We haven’t eaten out since last October!

My barber is very cool guy. For friends he was doing haircuts during lockdown. You had to text and go to the back door!
