What the heck are you testing??

@Pearl testing the image issue sonya had reported, i think... either that or our collective gag reflex.

I'm so happy i don't have to deal with this crap every year, 5 winters were enough, especially buffalo. One year i dug a path for my mailman to my porch. By christmas i could barely see the top of his head above the snow pack.

One year a block or two away from me, was a household of young men. They didn't shovel snow at all, and it was a snowy year. Our mail carrier told me that they were no longer going to get mail delivered to their door, because the snow was so deep. I don't know what happened after that. This particular group of young men had lots of parties, so shoveling snow was not high on their list of important things to do.

Man, I had never shoveled snow or ice in my life (had always lived places where it didn't snow when I was old enough to do so) but when I visited my sister and she slipped on ice in her driveway, it was on like donkey kong. I was shoveling away to make sure she didn't slip again. Funny thing was, my dad was looking for the shovel so he could do it and came out and found that I'd beaten him to it.
This blurry photo was taken by my friend's ex from in town. Wreck on the bridge because it has some ice.

I would love to reply but I am not licensed to use the word "cute"!

Nice uncomplicated straight forward implementation.

I like building model military gear. I have to make major progress on The Hobbit Hole to earn enough points to do more modeling.

Nice work

Thanks so much!

Much of it is a kit, but I like having things sized to fit my critters, so I’m teaching myself tiny woodworking and scratch-built the bigger chairs.

Model military stuff is fun too — I used to do wargame miniatures (mostly fantasy / sf ), and my husband used to do Napoleonics and occasional bigger model kits.

I’m trying desperately not to get into model trains!

Home sweet home. As you can see we have very little snow this winter.

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Same here. It's going to be extra nasty dry this summer.

This is a tree we planted on Tara Hill in 2020 in memory of my brother-in-law. Shortly after this photo last summer, the council found and removed it. It's on the edge of an ancient forest, well away from the actual archaeology of the hill, and was placed there to replace an old tree that had blown down a few years ago. The same tree, replaced. And they pulled it up. And then they give away free trees, each spring, because the 'world needs more trees'.

Why would they take that tree out?

did you ever play the wargames? We used to go to some of the conventions
I don't have the patience to paint the figures but love playing. We made a Harry Potter game once ( they have fantasy stuff there too)

your little bunnies are cute !

I can’t imagine working with that tiny stuff. Kudos!

That is a fine lookin mule. One of my uncles always had mules. Wouldn't allow a tractor in his garden or tobacco patch. He mowed his hay with mules up till his 60s.

Stargazy pie (Cornish: Hogen Ster-Lagatta; sometimes called starrey gazey pie, stargazey pie and other variants) is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards (sardines), along with eggs and potatoes, covered with a pastry crust. Although there are a few variations using other types of fish, the unique feature of stargazy pie is fish heads (and sometimes tails) protruding through the crust, so that they appear to be gazing to the stars.

How’s it feel to be in snow country again?

How’s it feel to be in snow country again?

It is a one week trip. I used to know how to drive in the snow and I don’t think I’d chance it this time. Feel? I’ve been inside and finally went out this afternoon. I think I’d catch up on my inside projects if I lived where it’s cold. And cold must have snow!
Otherwise fantastic seeing family.

Have you ever watched the Poldark series with Aiden Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson? It is filmed in the Cornwall area, and they talk about making this pie. Also, the sardines, that they call pilchards are a big part of their diet.

 

[Magpie]

Why would they take that tree out?

Purely because the council didn't plant it / choose it, there wasn't an investigation, a report, a meeting and a council vote. ( you know, a waste of money so someone could fee justified in their job) So it wasn't considered appropriate. The family told them afterwards, the why and wherefore, and they said 'we should have put a plaque on it' which is stupid, because a plaque wouldn't blend in at all.

Poldark was our Sunday night go to when it was on- Aidan T. was in Lord of the Rings also

Saw these today, pretty cool. I guess they're the way to go if your apartment doesn't allow pets.

Covers pulled up to my nose. Shivering uncontrollably. I'm having nightmares and night sweats already.

Those would be fun if Pearl comes in 2x a week. Otherwise, they identify as dust bunnies.
