Good morning, everyone! Last load of laundry is in and ready to pack when it comes out of the dryer, dusting is done, ran the robot over the floors, got burger out of the freezer to thaw for dinner (I can't wait to see what it grows up to be!) and the kitchen cleaned up after Ken "fixed" us breakfast. Yeah, when he's in the kitchen I end up fixing his messes.
So now some photos of Fee's first day out exploring. Don't expect much, as I said we didn't take her off the leash, but she loved every minute of it. Well, almost every minute - she wasn't real happy when she stuck her paws out of the back hatch just as it was about to close completely. She was laying down as the power hatch came down, and at the last second gave a big stretch. But the door did as it's designed to do and as soon as it made the slightest contact with an object (her feet) it immediately stopped and opened back up. So there was just a minor yelp from her and she was fine. But the next time she huddled way up against the back of the seat and stayed there. When I put her in I always tell her to "sit" and "wait", but Ken didn't do that - just opened the door and once she jumped in he hit the button. He knows better now, and so does she!
Anyway, some photos! There's no order to them, just random shots of the scenery, a buffalo, some Big Horn Sheep (and Fee starting at them from the side window and then the back window as we drove away) and Fee. I'll thumbnail them because there's so many. I love the one where she's got her head down trying desperately to reach that enticing elk poop right in front of her, at the side of the road! Ken didn't find it amusing. Remember that all of these photos were taken very close to Cody - I think the elk were about 10 miles from town and the sheep probably 15 or 20. The canyon of the North Fork is one of my very favorite places!

Beautiful pictures, Blooie!! I need to go out there sometime. DB & FSIL are thinking of going out that way for their honeymoon. Thinking Yellowstone, Wyoming, Montana, somewhere out there. Or like between yellowstone and glacier. They originally weren’t going to do one and were just going to go to the cabin to save money but now she’s had like a stressful past few weeks at work and plus they go to the cabin so much, it’s not exciting or fun anymore, so now she’s like we’re going on a real vacation lol but she knows he could never sit on a beach somewhere, she claims he is physically incapable of relaxing lol, so it’s a compromise. Cause she does like outdoorsy stuff anyway. She originally thought maybe they’d do kind of a road trip, drive around to different sites and/or see stuff, do that scenic highway that goes into Canada and stuff, but now she’s not sure she wants to drive all around, seems like kind of a lot of work for a vacation/honeymoon, so now she thinks she wants to stay in one spot instead, like at one of those nice all inclusive resorts or something. Somewhere that has a spa and fun, feminine vacationy stuff, as well as hiking/outdoorsy stuff so he is happy too and doesn’t go out of his mind just sitting on a beach somewhere LOL
Anyway, sorry, not sure what the point of that was, just reminded me of it I guess.
Fee is gorgeous and so big now and that scenery is gorgeous too.
OK, got it, the bags need water added. I was thinking of those disc like things for soaking in a tray of water.
I know someone whose nose would have appreciated that feature.
I think there is some false advertising there on Ken's jacket, I'm pretty sure you were still in Wyoming![]()
Blooie awesome pictures
DMC Best of luck with the water/snow melt
KD I got my seeds finally started today, the pellets gave me fits too. There's a top and a bottom apparently, I did better with the second tray. The bottom is completely flat and sometimes you can see where it was pressed.
Afternoon everyone![]()
Sorry to both of you for the confusion, I do have some of those discs too, but was trying to use the trays with the loose mix in it. Didn’t work so well at first. Although now it’s absorbed but now I’m paranoid to use the tray I put soap in so now I might not. Idk. Also now I have some other trays with soil/compost/good stuff from the garden in some other trays that are having trouble absorbing too so I have come to the conclusion that maybe I just put too much water in stuff.... maybe it is me and not the material lol and I am going to try a few of the pellets, they expanded pretty quickly and easily, but I find sometimes the plants get like rootbound in them. Idk. Going to try again.
This is how the first tray looks now, looking better. And I have some new ideas I’m trying.

but I won’t lol but not to worry, I’ll get out there eventually!! Maybe even before them, idk. The wedding isn’t until September and I didn’t end up going to Arizona so I have the money saved on that to spend elsewhere.
