Happy World Hemophilia Day

Question: I am missing the Mugdot Challenge _what happened to it? Was it cancelled?

Arw65

Lizzi- the current one is History in places.- it didn't get many submissions so i believe that normal decided to keep the challenge going longer.

Thank you, ArW. I guess I didn't look very hard for it!

Happy Birthday lesley_gene!

lesley_gene

Thank you Baldur! I had a wonderful day! I had to work, but the boss and his wife took me to lunch!

Springtime has hit Boughbreak about a month earlier than usual, there has been so much to do.
We are picking asparagus every day.Tthe new vegetable bed is ready for planring, actually the snow peas, brocolli and cauliflower are already in.

Dragon

Spring is finally springing here too, for the very first time ever my husband and I were able to sit out on our deck tonight and enjoy the sun. It was heavenly. The sweetpeas will be happy to know that they will finally be going in the ground tomorrow. I look forward to hearing more of the gardening at Boughbreak.

Sweetpeas are in, back is tired, mouth is smiling!

Baldur

I'm so glad that you have started planting Dragon.

We are having a deluge right now, a rather welcome one. This had been a mostly snowless warm Winter and a dry Spring. The soil never got mucky as it is supposed to do.
It drizzled most of yesterday and then the skies opened up at suppertime.
All night the comforting rain rapped on the windows.

The snowpeas have started emerging from the ground already and I have been eating garden-fresh asparagus all week.

This is quite an amazing video, just had to share it.

Dragon

This reminded me of a bee hive my parents found under the roof eave of a playhouse they had in their back yard (they live on an acreage). Thiers was no where near as huge as this one and had been abandoned but it had that same shape with the vertically dangling, plate like combs. I'm not sure if that is the way they all build their combs or what, but they were neat to look at.

Dragon

I actually found a follow to that video and it sounds like the exterminator was making every attempt to save the hive and relocate them. I did wonder.

Happy Birthday to both Shirley MacLaine and Barbra Streisand!

Happy Day for Laboratory Animals

Dragon

Is this the day they test the prozac on the Lab Animals, or is it something to do with stopping animal testing instead?

Baldur

I think it has to do with 'she who must not be named' having her birthday.

Baldur

In reality it is a United Nations recognized day.

Baldur is just in from gardening.
I planted:
assorted radishes, mostly Easter Egg, Plum Purple and Hailstone
assorted lettuces
Dinosaur Kale
Crosby's Egyptian Beets

Baldur

Already in the ground were Snow Peas. Cauliflower and Broccoli.
