We got the wind too.... blowin from the ocean means its artic.... Trees are braced for the other direction. So Branches will fall.. Predicting a bit of snow in the mountains. I suspect it will be at the 6000 foot level... unfortunately our mountains are only 5000 feet tall at the tallest.

Just enough to make it colder than normal for a february...

In years of old, when knights were bold... ? I don't know that one.







You got me. I don't know that one either.
















Sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!







DISLIKE!







I had an unexpected pet rat when I was a teenager. I saw 2 'Richards' that had one. They'd dyed his tail blue & were taking turns speeding thru the parking lot on their mopeds with him on their shoulder. They were trying to see how fast they could go before it fell off. I asked if I could hold it for a second & then wouldn't give it back. They got bored pretty quick & left us. I was 'out' that night & halfway to my destination, so just kept 'Ben' on my shoulder. After an entire night of doing the naughty things teenagers do, I staggered home in the middle of the night with him still holding on to my shirt. My mom, dug around the garage until she found a tank & water bowls for him (me & my brother were always dragging stuff home in the middle of the night.) The point is, he was a GREAT pet! I could put him in my purse, on my shoulder or in the pocket of my hoodie & take him anywhere. Like Sour said, they don't live long. Mine only lived about 18mo but not sure how old he was when I got him. Like Shaw said too, always, ALWAYS wash your hands before you stick your fingers near a rodent of any kind. ALL rodents will taste you if you smell yummy. Last but not least, pet rats are 100% different than their feral cousins. Also, getting a female from a pet store that's already pregnant is apparently pretty common. Good luck!

You've always had that room on the broom mentality haven't you!
I'm glad you rescued the poor little thing. Sounds like those boys needed an a$$ whoopin.

Here's a picture of me & my brother...

The caption says;
Look what we found
in the park
in the dark.
We will take him home
we will name him Clark.
He will live at our house.
He will grow & grow.
will our mother like this?
We don't know.
(...but she will dig thru the garage in the middle of the night in her pajamas until she finds beds & food bowls for it.)

I've always tried to save critters too. .but I knew better than to bring anything in the house. My mom is terrified of anything rat,mouse,opossum like and would've used the broom over my butt. . not make room.
She barley tolerated my bunnies when I had them. She liked looking at/watching them but I don't know if she ever touched one.

Well, one of Lizzy's eggs quit, so I'll be placing a 'just in case' order for chicks so that I don't end up with one lone chick, I think.

It's okay, I was pretty much expecting it to happen, lol. These are her first three eggs so I'm not at all surprised that one quit. Another one has a crack that I didn't notice before. I patched it, but if that one quits then I'd just have one chick and I don't need that, lol.

Oh ok...I get that. I hope it hatches!

I candled the last 3 eggs under the broody with the new chicks and they are still going but Im afraid they're so far behind that she won't stay on them till they hatch. So I put them under the new broody, she took them right under her so hopefully theyll hatch in a few days and she'll be a happy momma.

Yep, I always have. I used to dream big & think I could save the world, now I know I can only save tiny bits & pieces of it. (I went from dreaming about saving the world to dreaming about casserole dishes... My younger self would be horrified.)

I like wild roses.. I wish I had some growing here.

These have teeny flowers. I can send you some if you want. There are reams of them.
