The 76th Rain Forest site - "Everything is Connected"

After I finished my errands earlier today, we grabbed the dogs and drove over to Harveys (cue music and sing - Harveys makes a hamburger a beautiful thing) - picked up some burgers and poutine and headed to the b.e.a.c.h.

Sat in the car and had a picnic - the dogs really enjoyed their shared kiddie burger (no toppings).

Then we set out for a little walking adventure along the waterfront. Cleo enjoyed the puddles, Bailey enjoyed climbing on all the ice ridges, we all laughed.

Now we're home, nursing over-stuffed bellies - and everyone else is snoozing and snoring :wink:

did I miss when we passed 62 acres? sheesh

I guess we're just gettin' tooooooo smooth.

ehBeth, now you see my problem - the world's gettin too fast. We had 62.004 acres last Tuesday evening.

:wink:

Sounds like a perfect weekend. :wink:

I will have a walk along the Danube- getting some springflowers for a school project.

Spring flowers

We're expecting another big snow storm from this afternoon into tomorrow. Apparently the Chicago area got whacked yesterday. It's heading (duum duum duum) this way now.

The dogs will be giddy once those big soft flakes of snow start drifting down.

I'm washing and drying some of my polar fleece snow pants and jackets in preparation.

Thanx for the reminder, ehBeth. Gotta do some laundry this afternoon.

Morning, all.

ul, that sounds great - the Donau walk...... My friends in Wien have a beach apartment along the river above Klosterneuburg. It is really nice and quiet there.

ehBeth, the first flowers bloomed here in NE TX during the last few days of January.... There are lots of blooms here now. I'm still thinking of planting banana trees and maybe a variety of palms.

Hi all, clicked

And the winner is - - OSCAR!!

Must have been him - he was on stage more than anyone else...

Danon-

So I found my snowdrops and primroses yesterday, and this morning I woke up to a white world. Snow over night. Nice as long it lasted.
Now it is gone, and the temps are rising again.

ul, That's great, snow in transiency is better than no snow at all - - - like we are not getting here in NE TX......Congratulations......

Hey, I learned at the Oscars last night that the male best actor - Forest Whitaker - is from Longview, TX - a short drive from our home. Also, from the same town is Matthew McConnaghey

It's been snowing for about 26 hours now ...

I kinda like it.

ehBeth, you're mean......

Just joking, we would like some of the snow you are talking about.

snow in transiency- sounds nice.
Yes, it was a very short visit. It is getting warmer daily.
We haven't had much rain or snow around Vienna- everything is far too dry. Nature could use more water. NOW I prefere rain to snow.

The next weeks will be fun- Africa project.

The first day of Spring is three weeks away and we are having temps in the 80's - - -
Flowers blooming - grass growing - trees budding - - -

I don't even WANT to think about what SUMMER will be like

Hey, what do you all think about the Jesus Family burial site story.
Sounds like that is going to fan some flames from the Christian conservatives.

clicked for a tree today. Bulldozers a' passing. Tree's a' smiling.

Snow day!

Lucky you!

Saved another tree this morning..

Morning Stradee and Merry,

Yep, we save trees each day.

Walking through the rain forest - "Hey, there's a nice tree. I think I'll save it."

clickety click, clickety click, clickety click - - -

Not a flurry here- mild- the forthytias are blooming. Golden hedges.

Learning about trees in Afrika.

Cream of Tartar tree, monkey-bread tree, lemonade tree (Eng.) or baobab. An interesting tree and I love the folk stories anout it.
