You spend your entire time in the CDR talking about drought... and now you want it to stop raining ? ?Now if we can only get it to stop raining for a decent length of time.

It’s actually illegal to plant that in the UK because it’s invasive. exist plants don’t have to be grubbed up, so you do see them from time to time. They do get huge@CarolM I have a plant called a Giant African Rhubarb, and my thought is before they leafs start to drop, I'm gonna take the biggest one and coat it with cement. The leafs are thick as hell....

The verb “pay,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary, means “to render, bestow, or give,” and what’s bestowed can be attention.I was thinking of this this a.m.-where did the expression "pay attention" come from? Seems strange to me. Why 'pay' I wonder?

Google points out you can “pay your respects,” “pay a compliment,” “pay heed” to advice, and “pay a visit.”

Well...it's gonna be bananas in a little bit.?Just HOT HOT HOT and HUMID these days. Makes it yucky to work in, but Sully & our lawn seem to enjoy. We‘ve been lucky this year, still getting some good rain every few days. Rain barrel is full.
Banana tree(s) now have one big flower bud, i can see some little bitty bananas. I need to get a pix.
If Joe doesn't pay attention he'll have to pay me. So he tries real hard.?I was thinking of this this a.m.-where did the expression "pay attention" come from? Seems strange to me. Why 'pay' I wonder?
We are all doing great!!! Hubby just left today for a couple weeks, kids are wild n free... we have been going hard the past couple weeks so now it’s my relax time... besides work of course.. tortoises, chameleon, cats, dogs all good.. I have actually sent my two older horses to a friends for retirement... they don’t want to be separated and I can’t ride two... Jess is too busy and my younger children can’t handle them so while it was a hard decision. I think it was best for me and the horses.... SO then, that allowed me to take a rescue horse... he came to me quite abused and underweight.. had obviously never had a treat in his life but is extremely well mannered. Perfect for my son to learn on. Me to spoil and use on relaxed trail rides... he will look like a new horse in a few weeks.. vet comes Tuesday to make sure he’s all ok and up to date on vaccinations and coggins... he doesn’t realize yet that he’s just been handed his easy ticket but he’s figuring it out quick!oooh, I would love to see your succulent tortoises. Mine is still getting established. So I am waiting for them to take and grow roots. Which means that it is not quite complete as yet. But I suppose I just need some patience. I am sure that yours will grow and spread. If they don't just take the little babies and poke a hole where there is a gap and insert the baby there. Eventually you will have a full one. I plan on making a very big one for the front of our complex. So happy days for me. Now that I am back at work (in the office) I don't have as much free time to do it. And I promise to try and not stay away so long. How are all of your torts, horses, chameleons and dogs doing? And how are the kids and hubby? All safe and sound hopefully.
Welcome hoggy family!!!! Traditional southern stuff there?Some hedgehog updates
These two have been circiling each other every night around 10pm... it looks like romance is getting serious

Meanwhile, Patchy turns up around 3am most nights and tries to send everyone else away
Yes i know. I should really do it again. Okay I will try it again.
Well it didn’t look easy but I’m pretty incompetent in that departmentGood Morning All and Everyone. (Just in case you did not understand ALL )
The weather is overcast today with scattered showers expected at some point. So it is a little bit Brrrrr today. I am waiting for a week where the weather is sunny for the whole week so that I can finish my pond. I need to make some waterproof cement and cement the inside of the pond where the wine bottle spouts are. When I tested the pond there were quite a few leaks there. so the plan is to put a waterproof cement (By adding a powedered waterproofing additive to the cement mixture) and filling the wall up until just before the end of each bottle, then I will lay a plastic sheet over that and put another layer of the waterproof cement. Which should then solve all the leakage problems that the currently has. Once I can do that after it has dried for at least 7 days I should then be able to fill it with water and put some fish into the pond.
I am telling you this project started months ago and was supposed to be a cheap DIY project and it has turned out to be one big expensive and learning DIY project. But I am stubborn enough that I will not give up and I will defeat this pond before it defeats me.
How is everybody else doing? Anything interesting going on?
