Amazing, DL! That is beautiful! I sure hope they're right that we're going to get rain in the next two days. It's dry here.

Oh yeah, same here.

She was interested, but on leash, so she was kept at a safe distance. I wonder what that snapper weighed? It sure looked substantial.

The snapping turtle left this morning. I could find NO disturbance to the ground, at all. Maybe she could have smoothed the ground, but she surely didn't replant the weeds that were there. :lol: So maybe not female. Or maybe just wanted to rest and spend the night somewhere.

That's what we thought too.

This snapping turtle is in our side yard right now. Its head is easily the size of my fist.

My hands and knees are feeling the work I did yesterday. I'm thinking I'll get a load of laundry going and go back to bed for a nap.

Bella puts up with so much from that pup!

Oh, the debacle with Ferrellgas (the local gas company we use; they seem pretty tame to me) is all straightened out as far as we're concerned. The story: On Feb. 29th, they filled the neighbor's tank by mistake, and handed her a bill with our name on it. She called me, I called Ferrellgas...

57 isn't "chilly," it's darn cold! :lau I assume you have a wood stove there to warm it back up? We've had a fire in the wood stove the last 3 mornings. It's supposed to warm up again this coming week. We haven't used the furnace in a month or more.

Rather chilly today. I got errands done, and made a loaf of gluten free bread. It's the best I've made so far. It's WAAAAY better than I ever made in my bread machine. Getting a stand mixer (used, for $72) was a game changer. My poor bread machine may have to go live with someone else. Hubby...

:fl:hugs:fl Hope the doc can get you some relief, @DobieLover!

Thanks for the coffee, @DobieLover! How are you feeling today?

No damage or problems by me. But Portage, MI was hit twice. 14 tornados in Michigan, awaiting confirmation by the National Weather Service. Some injuries, no fatalities reported. LOTS of buildings damaged or destroyed. Pictures of a house that was lifted off its foundation and turned upside...

Ellen Bacca around 6 ish? It sounded like she was trying not to sob, or giggle. Blake Harms said, it's ok, I'll take over.

Yeah. The main weather person has family in Portage. You could hear her voice breaking, and the other guy took over for her. I think she's heard that they're ok. She's still on the air.

@aart, I hope the storm is not impacting you! Tornados are reported in Portage, MI (Near Kalamazoo).

Yeah, and if I had a teaspoon and a bazillion years, I could empty the ocean, right? Still, since we have SO DANG MANY of these, I might as well try to make something with the berries. Just, ya know, in case I'm missing something...

I've made another pot. I've drunk most of it. When is it going to make me want to do something besides take a nap?!

They forecast rain around 1-2pm here, and then possibly severe storms around 4-10pm. I just read this about autumn olive: "The fruit and seeds are both edible. I have made jam, syrup, and even fruit leather without bothering to strain out the seeds. Try them raw, they really do taste great...
