Granny's gone and done it again

Sounds like my Rheumy's office. You wouldn't by chance be sitting in Macon Missouri would you, Cap?

No Mam! Lynchburg VA. I just got home.
She said she doesn't think I have Scleroderma. I was thrilled! Didn't get much time to shop, but made it home in time for supper.

WHOW! That is fantastic news! So what do they think you have? If anything.

Taking baby steps today. Cleaned one tank rested cleaned another still resting and maybe done for the day.
Dr. did exactly what I said she would .

sigh I have one tank I keep putting off because I know its going to be a big job. It is full of string algae and I scrape it w/ a straight razor and it floats away and attaches to a different side . How do you win w/ something like that ? Babys are doing good . Growing faster then the first batch. Better food I guess. And this isnt the best food to feed them but its what I have. frozen instead of live brine shrimp. I never could get the eggs to hatch. Frozen easier anyway/.

I used to get string algae in my pond. Nasty stuff. If memory serves me right the only way I ever got rid of it was by pulling all my plants and adding an algaecide to the water.

We got the barn door for the tractor enlarged today so it will be easier for DH to get the tractor in and out. Cross that job off the fall project list. Doors are built, barn door is done, next job is either the new wall the coop or the new enlarged door for the shop. Both are going to be a lot of work by themselves so I don't know which we will tackle next.

She said check with a dermatologist and do bloodwork.

I just took the feed bag junk from the barnyard and put it by the driveway so I can drive up there tomorrow and put it in the truck.
We have incredibly lazy leopard frogs here. A chicken walked within a foot of it and it never moved! I walked back and forth several times and still nothing! The ones we had in NY took off at the speed of light if they saw any movement. We have one that sits by the front door at night and eats bugs, along with a road. They have to jump up 4 stairs to get there!

Aren't doctors great when it comes to passing the buck? I mean seriously, I swear they take a course for it in college.

We have leopard frogs here too. Wild little things and noisy in the spring. I don't know which ones make more of a racket, the leopards or the Green tree frogs. There was a big leopard frog that teased the Cattle Dogs all summer by surfacing in the middle of the pond.Guess he or she learned early on that it was't a wise choice to get too close to the edge of the pond.

Toads make a lot of racket too. I used to catch toads and frogs regularly in my koi pond and relocate them because they kept hubby awake at night.

I cant use algae remover because of the shrimp. Anything with copper in it is a no.
I dont know what kind of frogs we have here. Bull frogs for sure but theres others .
