We had a slight downpour last night. Definitely not enough water to help. Hopefully the afternoon showers will start soon. Your flowers look wonderful.
People in Oregon don't tan...we rust. If we didn't go out in the rain...we wouldn't go out ever. It rains some daily...Here's Mary Knobbins a couple of days ago...raining and she sat in this puddle for a few hours! With her eyes closed...hahaha it ws 70 degrees

Good afternooning all. I have been doing duties as a Wildlife Transportation driver today.

We had 2 ducklings that needed to go to a rescue which specialises in waterfowl.

The roads were a nightmare, but with something as cute as this peeping away next to you it doesn’t feel so bad

Aw he is gorgeous! Hope they go on to have nice lives somewhere.
I've just had a word with some builders who are demolishing a shed and fencing in some new neighbour's garden to ask them to check for hedgehogs under it. I don't know if I trust them to do it - they have been burning all the old wet wood for hours in the garden rather than dispose of it properly so that don't make me confident that they would care.:( I hope I'm wrong.

I have a rose bush that gets very big blooms, one at a time. Never more then one bloom at a time

Good morning/afternoon
It's hard to believe that summer starts next week as it 's quite autumnal here this morning - showery, and chilly with some short lived spells of sunshine. It is gradually drying up with temps rising though and we should reach the dizzy heights of 63F by the bank holiday weekend! (but still cloudy).

Hope you all have a good Tuesday.
I've just realised it's Monday not Tuesday - I'm a day ahead of myself!

Hey all....remember when we did this for World Cup? Anyone want to set up a CDR team.

EURO 2021 - Rome

We've not seen you on Superbru since the heady days of FIFA World Cup 2018, but we hope you'll remember just how much fun it was predicting the scores with us!

Euro 2020, postponed from 2020 due to Covid, kicks off on June 11th in Rome.

Just like the World Cup, you can make score predictions for each and every match of this summer’s tournament in our Euros game. Once you've joined and you're all set to start predicting, the way in which to enjoy Superbru most is by taking on friends or colleagues in a private pool.

Naughty torty Lola almost gave me a heart attack today.
When I went to get him out for a soak he wasn't in his hide.
I hadn't seen him coming out in to the garden and I hadn't put the barrier in place to keep him in his own area,
My garden isn't big but there was no sign of him anywhere. I was beginning to panic thinking that he must have escaped through the hedgehog gateway I made in the fence. Even though I knew realistically he wouldn't fit through it I couldn't think of where else he could be. I ran up the lane and checked the street but no sign. I was really worrying by now. I checked the house in case he'd sneaked out of his room but the gate was shut so that was unlikely. Fearing the worst I stood still in the middle of the garden and eventually I heard a rustling in the middle of my tall crocosmia plants and there he was! Dripping wet from the long leaves and probably as pleased to see me as I was to see him. Lesson learnt - always put the barrier of his enclosure in place !
Goodness me. That must've been a nightmare.

I was thinking about you only the other day. I hope all is well with you and Ollie x :)
Hi. We're fine thanks, as the weather is getting gradually warmer.

How are you? And how is Joe? Hope you're well.

Really? No honey bees in Ohio? If you have a lawn & have clover or dandelions, check them out. We have plenty. Not far up the road, the US Dept of Agriculture have many test fields. Along the edges, many many bee hives set out. ??
We used to have tons of them and my yard is full of clover and dandelions. I don't know where they have gone. I've read that there is a fungas that is killing them.?
