COLD DARK ROOM

[EllieMay]

Good morning all.. wet & dreary in East Tx this morning but I think it’s moving out. I’ve got a lot of work to pack into the next 4 hours and then I’m checking my kids out of school and heading for the big lake.. I anticipate cold water and sunshine Big Brother is coming to house sit for me and tend the farm.. I’ll try for some good scenery pics.. Arkansas is always beautiful!

Reminds me of trying to get into a brand new too-small girdle. You make the holes too small on purpose or so they'll chew their way in & never leave?

I hate it when I buy a girdle that's to small!?

Are you going to do any fishing?

That's great - I hope you all have a fun weekend at the lake.

It's just gone 1 a.m. here but I can't sleep because of the strong winds.
Gusts of over 50mph are set to last through the night and all day tomorrow.
We've not had such strong winds for such a prolonged period for a long time.
I bet there'll be trees down and quite a few baby birds lost in this.

Anyway I'm whiling the night away here.

Busy morning at the rescue. Lots of admissions thanks to the wind. One of those days where I have been feeding two day old robins the size of the end of my thumb, rooks the size of a large gull and everything in between. All babies, but very different!

This little cutie is a Nuthatch who will grow to about the size of a sparrow.

And it’s very windy here still. Lots of trees down.

Which lake? Hubby is fetching our boat this weekend. Can't wait to go boating!!

 

[EllieMay]

Probably not.. more boating and sight seeing.. we have friends going also some some cooking and drinking may be on the agenda..

Lake Greason.. we always put in at Kirby marina.. some of our close friends keep house boats there.. Hubby’s been making comments about that but I’m so not interested in The Maintenaince of a house boat!!

Can definitely understand that. Been there & done that @LakePowell. We later got into camping & day trips which has its own problems.

But a day on the water beats the "H" out of a day at work. That formula applies in all kinds of decent weather.. geez, have a very, very good weekend!!

Just back from a great morning of kayaking. We were on the water when it was relatively cooler, but bright & sunny with a refreshingly cool breeze.

The interesting thing about today’s paddle is that as we approached shallow muddy areas, there were 100s of monster Carp in there i guess breeding away. All over the place, flopping about in the very s(allow spots. Some easily two feet long. Never experienced this before...very cool. Big fat carp!

I am just sooo glad YOU are safe!!!
Crazy weather all over the world..
My husband keeps telling me that god is still mad at us for ruining his earth...?
That’s why covid has lasted soooo long.
Crazy? Or true? You tell me....?

I think I agree with your husband but covid-19 actually helped the earth in a few ways. If it helped the earth it also helped us ☺️

Gorgeous, Maro2Bear!!

BTW, the neighbor's house across the street went for $1.7 million, 2900 sq ft. The buyers are moving from Napa Valley.

Never been there. One of the days, i'll catch you on the flip side. Be safe, have lotsa fun!!

Let's don't get into political conversations, ok?

It’s Friday night here in the UK and it’s blowing a hooley outside.

Tomorrow we are going to a wildlife conservation centre that specialises in UK wildlife… both those that we currently have and some species that have become extinct in the UK.

We shall be getting close to the European Brown Bears and seeing European Beavers. This is a much postponed trip … so we are hoping the weather improves a bit by the morning!

Ok. So sorry to everyone I offended, including you, Cathy G.

That sounds lovely, I hope you have a good day.
The wind and rain eased here this afternoon so hopefully it will have done the same on your side of the country by now or very soon. I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight!

Well people had to stay home for a while so the animals got to have a bit of fun ?. Less cars on the roads meant some people had a view of what the earth looks like instead of hazy clouds. That kind of stuff.? Other than that stuff getting it was ruff.
