in the first picture above, our kitty (Morda, a grand ol' lady cat) is intently watching the ducks outside.

the ducks are stationed in circles around the bases of the mango trees, gobbling as fast as they can.

apparently, termites are like Lay's Potato Chips for ducks... "Ya can't eat just ONE!"

I was surprised yesterday evening at dusk, when I went to feed the ducks, and only a FEW showed up for corn and cabbage... then I realized, they're just not hungry...

like kids, full of snacks, didn't save ANY room for a proper dinner !!

in the second picture, Morda is curled up in the left corner of the bed... she stayed under the net with us all night, lol!

here's what the flood flies (hatching termites) look like:

Hey everyone!

Frank, I missed the worst of the storms down here. They were about 40 miles north. We got alot of wind, heavy rain, and lightning, but no tornadoes. :eek: And the storms only lasted about an hour.

I am planning on going to a movie later on this afternoon. I don't know why, but I am in a really bad witchy mood today. So watch out!:Sigh::hissyfit::ranting::Bawling:

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Kay, I love your posts. They are so informative and entertaining at the same time.

thanks, Barb, you're such a sweetheart!

my ducks aren't GREEN anymore, 'cause it's been raining for two days straight, with MORE sitting on the doorstep!

lol, ten more inches, and we'll be *swimming*

wah, Kay ...

:holysheep:

this is 'A' ... gosh .. you're just starting ...

sorry you feel so out-ta it, Barb - hope you get to a good movie ... Indy, perhaps?? who can resist Harrison Ford .. even at his age! ;)

Hey all! I survived the smashing and healing just fine. I told the lady that she was trying to kill me but she just laughed. Yeah, I laughed too when I went to get dressed and I was red from the neck down. Sheesh! BUT, I was able to watch my films come up on the screen due to digital mammo's now. Whoohoo! It was pretty cool. She pointed out some lymph nodes in my muscles...that better be normal! lol

I papered and painted the guest room today. I also spray painted my vertical blinds to match the new color. Of course I have to do one more coat on the walls because I see marks. The storms stayed away from us for the most part. I hear we're in for some more tonight. Stay safe everyone!

Glad to hear your pancake test went well. Isn't it just the most barbaric thing in the world to have to endure?? :eek: They can do surgery without making a cut but they can't invent a machine that can do this test painlessly. :rolleyes:

somethin' funny... the official "storm season" doesn't even *begin* until tomorrow...

that's what I call startin' off with a big bang !

betcha we run out of alphabet again this year... :eek:

just finished buttoning down the whole house, hurricane shutters all bolted, and candles/kerosene lamps/matches close at hand, for easy-finding in the dark.

don't worry folks, I picked this land carefully... we're not in a flood-plain, or a mud-slide area, and we have plenty of food and water.

eight inches of rain so far, wowzers !!

:shocked::rain::shocked:

glad to hear it, dear !!

:hug::grouphug::hug:

Kay- hope you an all your critters are safe!
