VERY chilly today. 7 F degree. Brrrr!
Ahhhh! Thanks, Kate! I needed that little bit of warm air!
2:21 Good evening all. I hope you all had a nice weekend. Spent the afternoon on the beach with my daughter and grandson.
I guess Kate won't want any of this steaming hot oatmeal, then. But it's 10F here (-4 with wind chill) and snowing.
cold but it is refreshing to be outside - I love the fresh air - just need a face covering and I'm set to go - or course, that does mean I already have the clothing in place.
mymare - since you are a bird feeder, you might know if the following is true. I was told that birds don't taste peppers, but squirrels and mice don't like them. So, put peppers in with the birdfeed to keep the pests away. Ever heard anything about that??
Haven't heard of that Daplap! But I'd keep a large quantity of water nearby!
I have not tried it, but I have heard that finches like to have the thistle seeds shaken up a bit (turn feeder upside down) to mix the seeds around when it gets low. Might want to have something underneath to catch the stray seeds.
Actually it has cooled down quite a bit. 18 degree C here now ... but heading for a top of 24 tomorrow and 27 on Tuesday. Given it is usually in the 30s this time of year, it is very mild. The humidity is coming from all the rain we've had but its not as oppressive as it is when its hot.
I am wondering what kind of peppers you would put in with the seeds. You would need take the seeds out of a pepper,(?) a hot pepper, sweet pepper, medium? so many peppers!
Good Maen to all from TN. USA. It is 18 degrees here. cloudy day but no snow, so I shall not complain.
What a macabre structure. Morning All.
all. Weather report from our town - 37 deg. F. No beach going here except for visiting Northerners (we Floridians call them "Snow Birds") who think that's not too cold!
Any bird feeder I put out would be destroyed in minutes by the whiye cockatoos! Pepper or no pepper!
Have you ever tried a thistle sock, Daplap? Our finches in the mountains hang on it until there is nary a seed left! Of course, when we put out the sock, the bears think we are giving them a special dessert ... we can follow the trail of shredded fabric all the way down the ridge!
What was that comment about, Jerry? Dogs? Birds? Hats?
1. parts of a chain = ?
2. tellin' untruths = ?
3. a lamenting cry = ?
I won't say anything, Kathy. I have a calendar with the same puzzles on it, so I have all the answers.
Jerry, oh no, I definitely didn't mean -37 deg., but I can see now where my dash looked like a minus sign!!! Sorry.
Heidi, love that cute smilie with the earmuffs! And all the animal ones too. How are all those baby Gouldians now? - all grown up & beautiful probably.
Even tho' this one is really easy.
Heidi, another cute smilie! Your collection must be growing to the size of Kathy from MD's. I can't seem to even manage a change to a new avatar. Maybe I should try to do that for the new year. Anybody have any suggestions?
I wonder how many smilies Kathy from MD has?
Kathy - I think you should use one of your pictures of the bunting as your avatar - or that beautiful Fripp sunrise picture.
Good M(barely)ean, all! It was pretty cold here last night, but it must not have dipped below freezing because our impatiens are still alive. Four more nights of frost warnings in store for us, however.
Heidi, You know what I'm talking about.
I remember it being suggested that it sure would be nice to be able to "organize" and / or store Smilies.
