Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

So I was thinking I'd change my avatar to my funky roo...For lack of a better name..
Whatcha think? Be honest!

go for it....

Phew! I need a lily pad...

Finally caught up! Did you know that, if you've been gone awhile, "Go to First Unread" only goes back 4 weeks? So I had to try to remember when I'd last been here (way back when I was doing the online test scoring--May, sometime) and gave up going back at page 6,000 (turned out it'd been farther back, because Liz's recap covered stuff I'd missed... Where is @DwayneNLiz, anyway?). I've been reading since August 18... No quotes, because 20,000+ posts is just a few too many to do that with... I will admit that I was tempted to quote every time someone complained about backlog, though

Hello to Fields, Shaw, bobbi, broomie, and orr! I feel like I've known you for awhile, now, though you'll have no clue who I am, unless you read some backlog--and maybe not then, because I don't talk much (and didn't find the Pond for months after our previous hangout petered out). I read everything, though not from OCD--just from sheer nosiness If Cap hadn't exploded, I'd be saying hello to another wrong-year birthday twin. Ah, well...

Deb, your jewelry is awe-inspiring. Not my style at all, but absolutely gorgeous. Not as gorgeous as Katee, though.

A bit annoying that we had 2 Pondites in Blighty at the same time from 2 different directions and were never at the same place at the same time (though I will admit that, since I hadn't been on here since May, I'd forgotten that he was going to be there, and I didn't know when he was until I was catching up with backlog) But I've got pics! Unlabeled, as of yet, and may stay that way, but still. I was rather rubbish at remembering to get people pics, so they should be more interesting to non-h2g2 folks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/amy_paperlady/collections/72157684860571873/

There were other things I was going to comment on, but it's nearly 1:30am (wanna bet I'll remember everything as I'm falling asleep, and will forget once I'm back on my laptop?

Oh, I remember one thing! Could some of you with rain send some this way?

At this scale, we're where the coast meets the Oregon border...

The yellow thing is us... No fire is close enough to be a danger (from yellow to Klamath is 20 miles), but it's just a bit smokey...

Good morning, Amy, nice to meet you! I'm more of a lurker than regular poster. I read and try to stay caught up every day, but don't always comment. Praying you and yours stay safe with the fires and that they are put out quickly.

Will try to remember to get tile pics tomorrow. We're having to work around our safe because its too heavy to move out.

Is there any way you can tilt it enough to get a couple dowel rods, the largest circumference you can get, under front & back, then roll it?

 

[Debs Flock]

When they get as spoiled as mine. . you can defiantly tell the girls from the boys. They yell at me SNACK SNACK SNACK SNACK!!
Hubby remembered to put out their feed today but didn't give them as much as I usually do. . so about 6:30 this evening every time I came outside I got the SNACK call lol. They were out of food! It was an outrage.

So I was thinking I'd change my avatar to my funky roo...For lack of a better name..

Why not? You can always change back if you don't like it.

Neither does Mr Nonsense, for mine

What's with you quiet peeps? Chat away, I say!


Good morning Pond dwellers!

Last day of enjoying the backyard pool. Thankfully the predicted high temp of 96 will make the very cold water feel more tolerable.

 

[Pork Pie]

Good morning all Hope all is as tolerable as can be expected, considering it's a Monday

 

[sourland]

Good morning, Pond Detritus. Lots of empty lily pads here this morning.

I'm claiming my own lily pad. This one near ya available? I've got coffee.

 

[sourland]

Sure, it's available. Move right in. For some reason no one seems to stay there too long.

Maybe it's haunted.
