COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Oh check this out...I'm standing in my bedroom window looking at the brown color out there thinking that I can see about 10 birds in that dead stuff, then there's flocks of tiny Goldfinches hitting my feeders, then literally wave after wave of California quail popping out from under the blackberry bramble...I lost track at about 25. I don't get to see those very shy quail often, Then to cap it all off a big fuzzy bunny came over to eat on the growing day lillies. Picture all that wildlife in my yard. at the same time. It is not as cool in the telling...it was really cool for me...

I'd much rather watch wildlife than spend time with people.

No I think your Goodwill shops are what we call charity shops.
Fly tipping is very antisocial and anti environment dumping of waste.

Charity shop as in second hand store or thrift shop?

Yup!

Makes me mad and has been much worse during lockdown with the tips either starting a booking system or making people queue to get in. All because the council wouldn't allow more than one person at a time on the site - yet the chances of catching covid in a supermarket are much higher. Ridiculous!!!! I could rant on for ages about it!!!!

I got it at the grocery store so rant on! I know that because I hadn't been out of my house and know the last day I was out. It did take around 10 days for me to start getting really sick.

Oh then I misunderstood the tip. I didn't think the tip was taking it to the dump.

Everything is fine today, no arm soreness. ?

As you all know, I'm quite old. My memory is bad. I'm watching 'The Closer,' 'Major Crimes,' and 'Rizzoli and Isles' and it's like I'm seeing them for the first time.

So yesterday after I had done all my morning chores I got ready to go do my usual Friday errands - Post Office for mail, grocery shopping, maybe gas station, if needed. And I'm expecting out of town company for the week end, so extra things to eat.

My guest hadn't arrived by the time I was ready for bed so I opened the gate, left the door unlocked and went to bed.

This morning I emailed my guest wondering why they didn't come, were they in a car crash? And their response was that unless there's something wrong with their calendar, they are scheduled to arrive tonight!

It was Friday all day yesterday. When one is retired, and only watches re-runs on TV, there's nothing going on to remind one what day it is.

I'm going to have to pay closer attention when my computer first boots up, when it tells me the time and day!

I have the date on my phone & I forget to look to see what day of the month it is. I pretty much know which day of the week it is, but then I can only count to six unless I have all my toes out for counting.

Good morning ! Jayden and I woke up yesterday and hit the road early headed for Dinosaur world in Grapevine Tx. It was pretty neat. Paved walkways wound their way through the wounds where you would walk upon scenes and exhibits with life size dinosaurs.. it was a beautiful brisk day and really perfect for this excursion.

The town of Glen Rose is a beautiful “not so big” place that seemed To be built along the Paluxy River. It was heavy with Rock Shops and mining activities.. Lots of “bone yards” for fossil excavation as well.. We left the souvenir shop with a polished onyx Dino egg ( I actually have a collection of stone eggs that started about 20 years ago) and one Gorgeous hunk of Amethyst ( my birthstone) that my son actually found and fell in love with.

And for the last leg of our adventure, we went just a few miles down the way to Big Rock State Park.. This was an amazing Park with Giant Boulders on the banks of the Paluxy River. We climbed and jumped rocks for a couple hours and took in the views of clear shallow river.. The photos here did not do this place Justice. I think we may have to go back and get one of the cabins for rent on the river front and stay awhile.

We also met a group of U-tubers called 149 RC worx.. they travel all over the US setting their self built RC vehicles on very difficult terrains.. and then they record these and post them. My Son went through a phase where he watched them non stop for a year.. it was fun watching them navigate these giant boulders With the tiny RC rock crawlers.

What do you call a one eyed dinosaur?

It's a Doyouthinkhesawus !

Good morning/afternoon all.
An overcast day here again but not as chilly I don't think.
Happy Saturday!

Are you missing some fingers? I only ask because I am missing my right hand.

G’day all. Dropped below freezing last night, we decided to lug our banana tree back in for a few more days. Sunny, cold start to our day. Can’t complain when the ??? is shining brightly.

Happy first day of Spring. ??????

One of my grandsons loves dinosaurs. When they came to visit me, my son told him I lost my leg and arm by fighting with a T-Rex. ??????
