@tgraf66 I love that thought. Thank you. ❤️
@lovendures I am not expecting any blizzards to descend on North FL but we are going to get the first hard freeze of the winter. YAY. Freezes help keep the population of roaches, mosquitoes, termites, exotic weeds, and exotic invasive critters in check. The downside is having to cover and/or take inside cold-sensitive plants. ( One can gauge the coldness of winters here by how many times the porch plants have to be brought inside.) I will do some home decluttering this weekend as well.
It's just like that in Portland OR when even with just one inch of snow. The stores are crowded with people stocking up, the gas stations same and the roads are crowded like an apocalypse is coming. We are just Not accustomed to snow. Thinking of all you and some family in its path and sending good vibes your way.
Hi guys, I am having a minor forum glitch of my own. Had my first cataract done on friday and I can see for miles and its so colourful and bright out there. The minor glitch I cant see to read well now, will have to wait for the next op in 4 weeks then see how it all is, may still need glasses for reading. The downside I might have to, gulp, stop posting and reading until it all settles. Is that cheering I can hear, thank god say they.
Being the stubborn little bugger I be I will probably persist, so there, take that.
It will be wonderful if I don't have to wear glasses at all, have been since I was about 10.
Regards to all and ain't medical science wonderful
@matildagirl I got my first pair of glasses when I was 5, then wore contacts for 50 years. Had my cataracts done about 4 years ago and was so thrilled that I could open my eyes in the morning and see the time on the clock. Now I have reading glasses in every room, my purse, and my car. I hang my readers on the lamp shades in the rooms so that my dog can’t get them ( she chewed two pairs so far) and I can find them. Sometimes, the readers sneak out of other rooms and I will find 4 pairs hanging on the family room lamp! I, too, can see a mile away but not a foot in front of me. And yes, science is wonderful.
Is a squirrel in your house a metaphor of your mind?
No sooner than this website came back on line than I came down this morning as the blizzard was raging to surprise. I heard a clatter in our living room and went to look, and zipping past me at the speed of light was a little squirrel. She hid under the couch and we opened the door to let her out but instead she flew down the basement stairs under a door and disappeared into our basement.
We barricaded the basement door so we'd know where to find her while we figured out what the heck to do. Has she been living here? Did she accidentally slip in when we were loading firewood yesterday?
Or does she, God forbid, have a family somewhere in the house? Or did she slip in during the night when I took the dog out twice during the night?
The plan: She's down there now and we will open the bulkhead in the morning and hope she leaves.
Anyone got any tips on squirrels in the house? Been here 28 years and never happened before. I can't stop thinking about her down there.
Also, can Mercury Retrograde bring a squirrel into your house?
I can only imagine what a sight that squirrel was to you this morning Jeanne. Hahaha!
While you contemplate a way to eventually get the squirrel out of your basement, you might ponder the meaning of seeing the squirrel.
Ted Andrews who is the authority on spirit animals and what messages animals may be sending us had this to say about squirrels. ( He actually have a lot more to say but this will do.)
@lovendures This is perfect. And made me laugh. I love that little squirrel, but I want him to leave and be free.
I really love this thread.
We have 2 squirrels who play in the back yard. My kitty cats love to sit in the doorway and watch.
Yesterday the snow began to fall. The house is surrounded by old growth trees and it is a beautiful winter wonderland.
Grateful for a snow day off of work, a full fridge and pantry. Baked cookies and banana bread and made hot chocolate
Love to all

Q: How do you catch a squirrel?
A: Climb up a tree, and act like a nut.
