I love the look of thistle too. I had one pop up in my leopard yard a few months ago and I left it there so I could see the pretty flowers, but when it went to seed I quickly clipped the heads off so it wouldn't re-seed itself. Man, those things are lethal!
Yep they're as bad as dandelions but dandelions aren't lethal. I use to collect a few when I was out trying to find wild things for basketweaving. They dry just as pretty and you can tape some of the stem to a better stem. I'm just older now and don't have that kind of energy or time.

Good morning everyone. Went to a feeding, petting zoo. They had a redfoot,5 sulcata's and some turtles. Also a 50lb snapping turtle. The sullies were rescued but are not being cared for properly there. I had a few stern words with the manager. We looked over the area and I gave some suggestions on how to make the enclosures bigger. (But not much bigger). Suggested a different substrate, landscape and a sprinkler system. They have everything there. I also told them I would pay for it. They were feeding them at 2:30 but we had plans so I couldn't be there.

It's wonderful that you could make a difference for the animals and most likely in the knowledge of the owners. They listened so I'm halfway sure they'll be members soon.

You guys crack me up. Have a good saturday everyone. Here is my three enjoying some bath time after a nice day out in their outside enclosure. View attachment 276482

My favorite beauties ! ( besides my own of course)
Do their vivid shell colors fade as they get older or do some just look differently?

Good afternoon/evening all.
Good to see everyone seems to be OK but hope Tricia and anyone else in Louisiana is coping with the hurricane.
Isn't Bea (Moozillion) down that way too?

Going back to work certainly interferes with my TFO time!
A full week next week but then 6 weeks holiday so normal service will be resumed for a while.
It's not too bad at this time of year as we have a lot of time for fun things going on as we wind down to the summer.
I'm still waiting to see an orthopedic specialist about my left knee but hopefully I'll be fitter by the time we go back in September.

I still have some pages to read from the beginning of the week so I'll take a peep at them now.
Hi Lyn. Good to not see you in the dark. Hoping all the best for your knee.:) Walking slow but steady like Lola ?:D
