COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Since it's the first day of spring, I thought I'd share a little house rabbit story. I have this little mini lop that is an unfixed girl ?. Razberri is driving me nuts cause she's in the mood for love ? She's hanging around my feet, doing funny things to my legs, and rushing past me into areas of the house... and she ain't allowed to be there. What's worse is, she knows it. So she runs as fast as she can to get into everything she can before I catch her.?

And it all went horribly wrong ☹ Now just have to hope France doesn’t get enough points against Scotland

I can't believe it!
The team must be devastated - most of Wales is!
Never mind Scotland have been playing well this year too - they've just gained a country full of supporters!!!

I'm glad I'm not young anymore. It's by God's grace I survived it. See I knew you were nice.?

I agree, only by God's grace!

OMG! The dog has her own stroller! Sheesh!! I love that picture.

she’s too fat to walk far ?

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. ??????

little Boys are so much more fun to take on trips.. I’m not sure that I didn’t enjoy the dinos as much as he did!!

All I've filmed the last few nights is next door's cat who seems to be spending all night in my garden showing an interest in the shrub where the birds are roosting.
I'm going to have to look at some deterrent - maybe an action motivated sprinkler.

Good morning all,
It's more of the same weather wise here.
Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

That should be a 'motion activated sprinkler!?
I wish I felt action motivated I might get more done!!

Happy Sunday all. Another cold, bright start to our day here. Frost on the vehicles. Glad that I brought the banana trees in....they would have got a bit of a nip on the greens. Big warm up coming....

And, look what else arrives in a few months! Can’t wait.

That is cool! Is that a pet or are they wild there?

He looks huge!!! Ours here ( pet sales, not native) are so much smaller..

Our hedgehogs are wild and endangered.
I don't know of anyone who keeps them as pets but many of us do try to help them with feeding stations and houses for them in our gardens and hedgehog highways (holes in fences) to help them wander from garden to garden.

Ok, he looked pretty fat and healthy .

Good morning everyone, cold and cloudy here today. Opo's still all the way in the back of his nightbox. Don't think I will see him today.
Got my first video pop up this morning. It happened when I tried to enlarge a photo on another post. ?

My sister has been caring for 3 sick hedgehogs over winter and they've all done well - one of them looks like a bowling ball when he curls up now.
They'll soon be released but will go out into a supported feeding area for a while, then fingers crossed they'll be OK.
They really are in trouble here owing to loss of habitat, traffic, pesticides and things like gardens being covered over with concrete and that awful artificial grass. They need all the help they can get.

Sounds similar to here. The sun is trying to break through but it's too chilly to sit out.
Lola's the same - peeping out like a nosey neighbour but staying put.

These are Cicadas. The larvae stay dormant under ground for years, often 17 years, more or less. This Summer will be the next major bloom....17 year old grubs rise up, crawl up trees, shed their exoskeletons fly about & mate. They HUM day and night to attract one another to mate. They mate, crawl back down & deposit eggs....and come back in 17 years.....

I could imagine the obstacles that put stress on the population. I imagine there are predators that are a problem also.
