Happy Friday all. Another very bright sunny warm start to our Friday. Going to get up into the 90s today, and reportedly all next week. We really could use some ????. Been very dry with just the occasional shower.

Started a new miniature decorative “bird/bee house”. I’ll probably straw thatch the roof on this one as well.

Started with a chunk of wood like pictured & rounded things off into a roof and slender structure for the “house”. Needs a few more steps & hollowing out before thatching.

Good morning/afternoon, all.
It's been wet and quite windy but the sun is battling hard against the clouds.
I have a very itchy hand today which is driving me mad, must be a reaction to something but goodness knows what. I have take an antihistamine tablet in the hope it will clam it down.
The old wives tale says that if the right hand itches then a lot of money could be coming your way. Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket. ;)
Hope everyone has a good Friday.

Yes Lyn!!!
That’s true (the old wives tale)….
If your right hand itches = $$&
If your LEFT hand itches= you’ll GIVE money…

Your right ear ringing = someone is talking good about you.
Your left ear ringing = someone is talking bad about you…
Sooooo……. Watch out everybody!

I have to share some extremely cute pictures from the rescue… neither of them mine, but they are so adorable!

This is one of 3 baby hedgehogs that came in extremely dehydrated. They’re being reared by a friend of mine and need feeding every 90 minutes day and night. They’re through the danger period now so hopefully they’ll be good to release before the winter.

And this is one of a litter of dormice being reared by another friend. These tiny mouse lookalikes are even cuter as babies! They’re getting hourly feeds day and night.

One doesn't get a feel for how tiny baby dormouse is until you realize he's hanging onto a FINGER!

My daughter, Emogene, took her favorite turkey on an adventure today. Bobert was silent the whole ride to the pet store. For a turkey, silence is very unusual. She just watched out the window. She ran into the pet store to get her a halter and came back out to find Bobert in the front seat. She laid a towel in the seat and Bobert is cruising around town. The halter leash didn’t work. Bobert wouldn’t be still long enough to get it around both wings. I told her maybe if she had help putting it on her, we could get it to work. They are headed to our local feed store/co-op to find some leg bands for the turkeys. I told her to just carry her.

So adorable. Both of them. Just goes to show you all babies are cute. But how in the world do you feed a tiny little dormouse?

That would be fun to get a turkey to walk with you on a leash. Maybe practice at home first so it isn't as much stimulation. It seems like Bobert was enjoying his ride and all the sightseeing.?

I've always loved taking pictures of wildlife and all the cameras that I have just don't do what I want. I finally broke down and bought a trail camera. I bought the Spypoint Link-Micro-lte. The more I read on hooking it up the more I know I'll probably be happy with it. I can control it from my phone and

With a very small amount of specialist milk and a small syringe… one drop at a time. It will soon be helping itself to seed, ?

Welcome to the wildlife camera club ?
I think it's going to work for what I want out of a camera. It's not real high tech but it's a cellular camera and I can move it easily if I want. Has an SD card, hooks to my phone thru an app. It's battery operated. I'm happy ?

Oh, and the app only takes 7.9mb on my phone which is another plus. I'm studying in the meantime before I activate and don't have problems later.
