We have a fixer upper house in Casper that he's fixing upping. This has turned out to be a much more expensive and time consuming project than we ever imagined. Never again! Unless it's one we plan on keeping.

It's amazing how much you can spend in a hurry. My aunt has done a few of those, but this last one was not one of the "come out ahead" ones Hopefully, it works out in your favor!

Oh heck no!

No one wants to go to the tundra??

Ah yes. You were saying you don't get any fall colors. I do like the variation here, but winter is so so long. Well... Normally. I've never been to California!

Southern California has 2 colors - brown and green. Oh, make that 3 - asphalt gray but that one isn't naturally occuring

He may have lost other items though. including common sense and his wallet and underwear.

Losing your wallet in Barcelona is easy, plenty of pick pockets.

No way been there done that when I was young enough to think I was invincible..
What really keeps us here is the green always may change a bit now No climate change right

Of course not! The nature of both her and the cow resulted in the kick.

My very first Dobie, Amber, got kicked by my horse, Lucky. Thankfully, Lucky was barefoot and she hit Amber in the side of the neck, not her head. Amber was still flung back about 10 feet. She ran off yelping with her head twisted about 90 degrees. I about lost it right then and there. I managed to get her in the truck and raced her straight to the vet, appointment be damned. By the time I got her to the vet she had her "head on straight" so to speak. The vet did a cervical exam on her and looked in her ear. She said she had a hematoma in the ear but that seemed to be the extent of the damage.
6 years later, the true damage finally showed itself. Amber would be sleeping peacefully in the sun in front of my patio door then suddenly jerk awake and upright with one or the other front leg out stiff while she screamed. Similar to what was happening with Ben just before I had to let him go.
Amber was treated with a course of Prednisone and was never taken anywhere in anything but a harness. She had no more incidents of nerve impingement and muscle spasms after that one steroid treatment. She lived another 3 years before hepatitis took her.

She was a survivor for sure!

I’m in San Diego, CA. About an hour north of the city, semi costal.
We have two seasons green & brown. Green season is roughly Dec-April if we’re lucky.

We have green in the Summer but it takes a lot of irrigation!

Nothing like green here sorry this is the Evergreen state you know we live through all that blasted rain to have it

"Bangkok has him now".

Eek, wind is a dirty word. Do you suppose you'll ever move?

I hate the wind! It makes me completely psychotic. I'll probably never move, but I keep looking anyway.

I loved the year we lived up there. Definitely one of my happy places.

Hey Debby, its taken me months of distraction, but I finally have almond extract & pistachios in the house. I'll make cookies if I don't eat all the nuts as they come out of the shell.

Ha, oh the pretty asphalt! You probably get the best fall colors of all of us, ay?
