Gypsies have tools...will renovate

Good Morning Everyone.

Smiley, that is just too cute....I could have a pocket full of them....grin. Thanks so much for that.

Have a great day....raining here but warm....66 degrees.

Morning

What a night, DH got out generator all hooked up and power came on.
So he put it back in garage and power went off. Finally got everything going. Power came back on about 11.

No school today, not sure if I can get to work or not.

Such cute pictures everyone.

Smiley,what a coincidence,that I log on during my lunchtime and see your photo of such a tiny new hatchling,Theodore says aaaahhhh:}
It's incredible that tortoises/turtles,hatch and can walk and eat the same stuff they'll eat all their lives,straight away.They're on their own too,unless they find a human Mummy,like T did.
Here's a pony for you,to say thanks for picture:}
Have a good day everyone,already 1.15pm here,how time does fly!!!

What I wouldn't give for 66°....
32° here so not real bad maybe the ice will melt

Hi Joy, Hi JJ. Hope things straighten out soon JJ. I think winter should only be allowed to happen in Dec and Jan, and then be over...grin

Pretty pony, Joy. Isn't that babyT just awesome? But then i have an affinity for turtles, frogs and lizards....grin

Hi Moon and JJ,36f here and we've had a wintery sun out this am.Rain fore cast tomorrow,though.
Moon,I too love Reptiles and Amphibians,but,well,I do love most creatures.I'd like a lizard for a pet,but having to feed them live food puts me off keeping one.I've heard the singing Crickets in the pet shop and I know I couldn't send them to a certain death in a Gecko's[or anything's]cage:}
I've had lunch break now,so had better see what's to do.
Have a good PM all of you,
Back later
Joy

I think that's even to long. Just a light dusting on ground in Dec. and should be gone by Jan. Then never get any lower than 50°.

Guess I should live in the South somewhere...lol

I will catch you later...need to see if I can get to work
Think if I can get car doors open and to the main road it will be OK.

Enjoy your day all

Enjoy your day Ladies....be careful, JJ

Morning Gypsies, Pony is so sweet and cute Joy, and turtle baby like Moon would love to have a pocket full of those. JJ you be careful out there and hope it gets warm enough to melt that nightmare today. Hey Buddy Moon, are ya done with cleaning and such? Now time to stock up on groceries, don't forget the popcycles and teething bisquits :-) Have ya found baby items needed yet? Guess I'll start on paint job today, ugggggg. But know I'll be glad when its done and looks better.

Ok setting the stage for Zoo trip. All Gypsies will have BW's delivered to their homes today. We will be on a 500 acres of natural habitat were animals run free. Bring a picnic lunch and lots of imagination :-) See ya at 7:30

I will try my best to zoo-fari with you Buddy, but We do have an open house at school at 6:30. Maybe can meet up with y'all at some point. I absolutely wanna see the Owls, Wolves and Otters, and I love the Himalayan Sun Bears.....grin

ok Moon hope you can make it, Venice get some of those pictures ready to pop in with! This is gonna be a hoot! That is if I don't paint myself into a corner, got it almost taped and ready to start on trim.

Remember to get plenty of fresh air while painting Buddy....have fun and as always....Pictures....Grin

you got it my friend! May be a week at my pace tho lol

Add some vanilla to that paint can, Flowers! It will make the paint smell a little less icky.

Hi Smiley.....How's your day going?

Afternoon Made it to work and back. Main roads were fine but side roads are bad as are sidewalks. Almost has to crawl up to one house it was solid ice all the way to the door. sigh

Lord you are a good woman, JJ. Think I would have had to say NO. That looks so miserably cold to me. Glad you are home safe. We need to send you some hot air.....think there may be a bit of that with the Zoo-fari later.....have a warmer afternoon, Dear.

Its not actually as cold as it looks today. The air is above freezing but the concrete is not...so hard to thaw anything on the ground ice on trees melt and freeze when hits the ground.
My driveway...

Oh, JJ, that looks awful in your photos so it must be even worse than it looks! I know you will be careful out there and not take any risky chances.

The only time I remember experiencing it that bad was when I was in my twenties. I had to go down a hill, but not too steep, and it was about a mile long. I skidded and slided all the way! Can be really scarry. I guess other than that when there was ice, I was not on the roads.

Since I was having such a bad problem going to sleep, not until 5:00 or so, I decided to go to bed late at 2:00 and then I didn't get up until 11:00. I woke up at 7:30 when the school bus went by and I feel so sorry for the kids having to stand out not only in the cold rainy weather but also when it is so dark. I heard kitty at 10:00 then she came and woke me up at 11:00. So I had a pretty good sleep that I have had in a long while. Kitty wakes me up with little meows and she bites my arm, just a couple of love bites to wake me up.

I am not shaking as bad today but still shaking. I think it takes a lot out of me. I feel so sorry with people with Parkinson.

Can't wait for out zoo-fari!

Later!

Venice,my Dad suffers from Parkinson's,you're right it's a really horrible illness.I hope very much that you're soon back to good health again:}
I guess your cat wakes you up when she thinks it's her breakfast time:}
JJ,that ice looks bad.We had it very icy here for a while,up until end of last week.The snow wasn't deep,but when it froze,it was scary!!!There were pictures on my local news programme of several people crawling across a steep road,as their footwear could'nt grip,neither could vehicles either.....dangerous!!!
Flowers,I'll look forward to catching up with your Zoo trip tomorrow,as it's 9pm here and I've a few things to do before I settle down for evening:}
Hope you all enjoy yourselves....and have a good evening
Take care
Joy

Meat loaf, fresh green beans, and potato for dinner tonight.

Hi everybody! I'll try to make it for zoofari! I'll probably be a little late.

I am leaving for GS's open house in a little while. I don't know if I will get back in time to Zoo-fari, but wanted to send a friend along to keep y'all company....Have a boot y'all, try to catch ya later. Moon

So sweet, Moon, mama loving baby!

I made the tastiest meatloaf I have ever had!!!! Yum!

I'm here ready to play my zoo fari friends, standing by to see who is gonna show up. Ok heres the deal. We are all lined up at the starting gate and on my count down will race through the zoo. We all have three sticky flags to tag celebrity cartoon animals when we see them, the one that uses up their tags first wins a year of Big Wheel washing at Gypsies house of their choice. The rules are : There are none. Just have fun and document what you see and do on the way. We will have 30 minutes to cover 500 acres with a 10 minute picnic. Rev your engines Gypsies! Got your safari hats, anckle boots and long cargo shorts with T shirts on with Gipsie logo on the back. Make us proud!

Two wolves!

Turn on your sound, go to the bottom of the site, and listen!
