@Baldur
Ah, I see, the community here didn't look relatively large I was actually hoping for it. Easier for me to make friends in groups of people who really have no other choice but to talk to me ^^

By the way, I enjoy reading about your adventures with your plants ^^

Baldur

Thank you Ked Pretzel.
From my viewpoint it seems that 80% of the people on ThinkDraw pay no attention to the Forum. Of the remaining 20% we have a few stalwarts and many occasional commenters.

'Radio Baldur' (Channel Baldur) has been around for quite a while and seems to be reasonably well read. Several of the contributors to this thread have been here for quite a while.
We get the occasional comment out of the blue from people who we never knew were reading this stuff.
I have to assume we have a lot of voyeurs.

O.K. Baldur miscounted, sorry about that.

Yesterday at Boughbreak we planted tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini and summer squash.
There really is not much left to put in for Round 1, just the bok choi, pumpkins and other Winter squash.
This planting is far ahead of schedule but so is the weather here. This was a very mild Winter and the Spring was downright Summerish.

One could say that not only is the audience diverse, but the subject matter as well.

Baldur

There hasn't been any pole-dancing in ages..that saddens me.

I do not comment in this forum much, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it since its inception--lots of cool comments, stuff about plants, beads, cats, dogs, other creatures, Boughbreak, recipes, etc. I believe Baldur started it back when Think Draw was temporarily unavailable for drawing--what a boon for us Channel Baldur aficionados! And yes, there's a serious lack of the pole-dancing saga lately (one of the most hilarious topics in this forum, imho).

Baldur

Now this is a treat, a sheftali52 cameo appearance!
...and on an evening that Baldur is up uncharacteristically late doing a series of unearthly pictures.
It's good to hear from you.

You are correct about the origins of Radio Baldur, why did I ever name it 'Channel' Baldur?

Thank you, Baldur, for being the lovable, quirky, accomplished host of Radio Baldur--it's one of the sometimes hidden gems on this cool site. Keep up the unearthly pics!

Baldur

You're welcome and thank you.

Baldur

Happy Birthday bagel!

Dragon

Here's a little pole dancing for all those who have been feeling the lack.

Baldur, a ten foot pole for beans? Guess you’ll be climbing a ladder to harvest? Faery hammocks? Made of spider silk? And, oh my, those evil gnomes. Someone had fun making that video! : )

Dragon, very fun to hear you enjoying your garden, plants and yard so much! Buddha’s in a garden sound as good a fairies, or … faeries. : ) Speaking of which, fairy-house making continues. Neighbor kids (four of them) have been collecting building materials and are ready to come over and make their own fairy houses. Then, marius shocked herself and purchased mortar. Why? One of my favorite fairy houses is an earth-contact fairy home, made by “Uncle Eddie.” Check it out at the bottom of the page on this link. http://www.uncleeddiesworld.com/Garden_files/garden.htm

Now to mix and use the mortar, and hope the fairy-house construction plans work. I know to wear a mask when mixing the mortar and to provide support for the stones. Will take any hints and ideas on working with mortar if someone here wants to provide them. : )


Oh … whilst looking for fairy house ideas, somehow found this link about “highway wildlife crossings “in Canada. I’m impressed. Don’t know if we do anything like this in the states but Canada is setting a wonderful example for us all! Hands clapping for Canada and Canadian wildlife too!

How brilliant is that? Both over and underpasses. I've seen them in England for the sheep, but thinking of the needs of wildlife is great. Gives me hope for OUR species!

Dragon

I remember them building these. Glad to see they are working.

Hazer

I'm glad they are working, too. We sometimes wondered as we drove through Banff how well the taxpayers money had been put to use. Now if we could just keep the bears off the railroad tracks.
