lol if only!
I found the first ripened wild blackberry on my bush today! Definitely tart but really not bad. It'll be good mixed in with other berries for baking and such.
Slowly but surely my rat snake Ziggy seems to be calming down. Having to take things very slowly with her. Last night I just sat with my hand in her tank for like 15 minutes, touched her lightly as she would crawl by, etc. She is getting SO BIG holy cow. I'm used to noodly corn snakes, it's...
Still trying to rescue one of the crepe myrtles in the back yard from the honeysuckle. Had to take a break yesterday to cut down a mimosa that had come up from out of nowhere and was flowering. NO. Bad mimosa!
(They are non-native and very invasive in my area. A previous neighbor had a HUGE one...
Aaaaw piggies :) I adopted a pair of males a few years ago, unfortunately even though they came to me as a pair they did not want to share space in my house so I had them in separate cages. And then I developed an allergy to guinea pigs :/ had to pass them along to someone I knew who rescued and...
Yup, luckily I had some on hand so I didn't have to make a quick run to the store. So far two of the cuttings are looking pretty decent, but it's only been a few days.
Well I was bamboozled, what I thought were wild grapes of some variety are actually porcelainberry :(. Very disappointed. They're all entangled in my red mulberries so it's going to be fun getting rid of them without hurting the trees.
Didn't do anything for my 'garden' today. Just cleaned out my gutters and disrupted an ant nest in the process (it's...been a while since i last cleaned the gutters...). Fun. Checked on the fruit trees, I'm a bit worried about the peaches. There's two left, the rest were duds, but one has one...
Most of my gaming is Pokemon Go these days. Easy enough to doodle around on during my lunch hour. Also it forces me to do a daily walk for my own darn health.
Currently I'm working on latch hook 'tapestry' number 2. Finally finished the first one (an Archaeopteryx skeleton) earlier this year, and now I'm starting on a copper betta. It's 60" wide and not quite that tall. Help.
Wow I haven't been to the BYC forums in a while...
I had to put my 19-year-old cornsnake Noodle to sleep back in August. He had a presumed kidney tumor that was big enough to put pressure on his GI tract and not allow passage of anything.
Later in the month I got two baby corns (because it'll...
@fuzzi Aw, at least you were able to save some though.
Neither the purple heart nor the small rose were particularly meaningful to me. The irises that are all around them are, as they came from my grandma, but thankfully they were all dormant when the siding was done and they bloomed again...
