It certainly is, with its mountains, valleys and coastline, although as with every country it also has its not so pretty industrial areas as well.
I suppose you're right, every country has it beautiful scenery and their ugly industrial portion.. I've always thought of Wales as a beautiful land lol I've never had the pleasure of visiting.

Too much things to read here!
Everything fine?
Here lot of work is coming...
Welcome to you also. I think I read some of your posts and you speak French. I enjoy the way different cultures communicate with each other. My brother is totally deaf but we find a way to talk.

You've entered our realm on the tail end of another new joiner, and I'm afraid your welcome may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Here's what Kristoff posted to that other new member. It applies to you to:

"You’re very welcome here! Grab an armadillo to sit on. One-Legged Pirate should be over shortly with a beverage of your choice. Unless he’s working overtime in our bar, The Drunken Penguin. Speaking of penguins, we have two — Silly and Willy. Be nice to them, because @Bee62 can be very protective of them. Don’t worry if you run into the Snow Leopard — she only eats carrots. The only scary thing around here is the Wool Spider (if she exists). But do try not to step on a hedgehog in the dark, and prod the jellyfish if you need more light. Btw, I'm Lena, as of now -- in Canada."

This is a great place to familiarize ourselves with other cultures and to see pictures (post cards) of other countries as our member travel around. Please feel free to join in the fun and share with us.
Hello friends. Was there someone calling my name ? Good evening @Yvonne G

My dear Bea. I think you mentioned that you like the song "You raise me up" from Josh Groban.
Please listen to my version that I sung for you. I am thinking of you, hoping you are fine. The actual calender sheet of the tortoise calender reminds me of you and Jaques. RIP little mud turtle soul.
Here is "You raise me up" for you Bea.:)

Trouble is it takes ages to dry up and even when dried it could get washed into the soil with rain.
Yes I've wondered about that too. I'm allowed by Ohio law to do that...and I've hammered nail holes in the lids of many old paint cans that were already here. They are still sitting here. I think California is more environmentally conscious though so...many times I base a decision I make on their laws not Ohio's. The chemicals are a whole different story. It's crazy that this planet keeps producing things that probably can't be thrown away. Even some of the newer lightbulbs if broken in your home could be hazardous...

Good evening friends. Summer is gone in Germany and fading slowly into autumn. Days are still sunny but nights are cold. 6,2 C means 43,52 F. That`s really cold.... Brrrrrrrr...
Tomorrow I will get fire wood for the next winter and oil for the central heating is ordered and will be delivered soon.
Where have all the days are gone ? All the weeks and months ? Time is running so fast. Too fast....
But when its cold and rainy outside I have more times to stay in the Cold Dark Room when you all still want me. ;) A "lost" roommate will come home like a stray dog.:oops:
I will be happy to come home.:)

Oh, Bee, BEE!!!!! That was so beautiful!!! It brought tears of joy to my eyes!!!:<3::<3::<3:
I especially needed to hear that lately- I have been very sick off and on since early June. My new problem is an uncommon type of asthma that is very difficult to control. I had so much trouble trying to breathe that I had to stay a day in the hospital; they've made lots of medication changes etc. i can breathe ok if I don't do a lot, but talking causes coughing and shortness of breath. I know this is very new, and my doctors will get it under control soon, but l get very down sometimes.
And I was very down today, but your WONDERFUL voice and your amazing voice control and expression in this song really did lift me up!!

Thank you, my friend- THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! :):<3::<3::<3:
(i will be listening to you sing this several more times!!!! What a truly beautiful voice!!!...But I think it just matches your beautiful HEART!!! :):<3: )

Speaking of those tree frogs, this morning I found one napping on our front porch on the wicker chair. Moved it to the fountain for a drink..
They also seem to adapt their coloration for their surroundings...

Maybe the good Lord dressed them up in the perfect camouflage to protect them from predators.

Good news, roommates! My Charlotte is back!

She strategically chose to be by the kitchen door now, clever girl. (Yeah, not having a pet sucks...)
Pretty soon you'll have a rescue and rehab center and no flies...they even build their own habitat. Just kidding...I don't kill them either if they don't bug me I won't bug them.

Speaking of donuts a Crispy Cream just opened up here in Cape Town and apparently the queue is insane. I just went on a healthy eating plan, so maybe by the time I can maybe try one, the queue won't be so long anymore..
If they have a good cherry cheese Danish I'll be over.!!! I can't find one anywhere here. Even Panera Bread and Tim Hortens stopped selling the good ones. If I'm hungry for a donut I want it sinfully delicious!
