DID YOU EVER WONDER ?
 A group of foxes is called a skulk or leash
A male is called a ‘dog fox’ while a female is called a ‘vixen’

Foxes have excellent hearing. Red foxes can reportedly hear a watch ticking 40 yards away!
Their pupils are vertical, similar to a cat, helping them to see well at night

I completely succeeded in my plans for a chill weekend. I think the high point was watching the Canadian women's hockey team annihilate the Russians 5-0. Louge was fun too, as was ski jumping. Then for some reason we binge watched a series about famous FBI cases. Is it wrong that Mrs. F27 and I were cheering for some of the bad guys?

We managed to get out of the driveway for emergency smoothies and Mexican food. We didn't see any foxes, but there was a greyhound with a sweater and boots. Apparently their fur is too fine for them to go outside in winter without sweaters. #foxwatch2018 #themoreyouknow

I finished my CPAP machine trial and decided to buy one. Whodathunk you could actually sleep better with scuba gear on your face? Like everything else in life, I have a weird type of sleep apnea, so it took a bit of effort to find a setup that worked, but now that I have, I'm totally on #teamscuba.

I want a creek. I don't even have a puddle.

Have a fun day all.

I hope for a successful unload Joyce. I imagine it is huge!!! I am glad you didn't get flooded...

Holding breath...

Passing out... Ha...

F27, I am glad you had a nice weekend. I am glad you found something to help with the sleep apnea. I guess a person could get use to the scuba gear. Well, hopefully...

Have a good day you two.

Hugs, Karen...

Glad you got the printer in Joyce. I hope it preforms well for you. Sorry about the van though. I wonder if it is the fuel pump again??? I hope you get it fixed soon.

Have a wonderful rest of the day... And don't ever give up!!!

Hugs, Karen...

When you put a pot of water on, put a wooden spoon over the top of the pot.
If it starts to boil up too high, the spoon will pop the bubbles and keep it from boiling over as quickly, meaning you have more time to get back and turn the heat down.

Hehehe@the Messiah

HA! A Question for me. I cook Italian cuisine. A friend was French, but raised in Brazil. We decided to have a cooking party for about 20. We each did an appetizer, I made homemade pasta with bolognese, he made real Brazilian type paella, and someone else made dessert. We all drank a lot of wine. The paella was with clams, mussels, and baby squid. Seriously, cooked baby squid with tentacles and all about the size of a quarter. Much easier to eat after a few glasses of wine. This would have been almost twenty years ago. Classic Italian and classic Brazillian.

BF cooks dinner most nights for two reasons. One--I am often tutoring during the cooking of dinner hours, and Two-he hates doing dishes. I am mostly okay with his meals--though we eat far later than I would prefer due to his OCD. He can cook.

I like the song--.

The usual here today. Be well.

Thanks for sharing F27. Always liked Hendrix... And little boxes was cute...

Myself and Trina... I am not cooking today. Did a venison roast yesterday and will have left overs for supper. Hubby out grocery shopping for me today for tomorrow. Trina, I hope your head pain goes away.

Joyce, I am so happy for you getting your printer installed. And I am glad you didn't have to worry too much about flooding. We aren't far from the river. But we are uphill and we have very sandy soil. So I don't worry too much about flooding as of yet.

The birds are feeding. We got hungry deer coming in at night. I hope to have some alfalfa for them tonight. The poor things are starving this year.

I hope you all have a good day.

Hugs, Karen...

Morning all. Sorry I've been M.I.A. Lot's going on.

The 'strangest' thing I've ever eaten was pate' of wild boar. Not the most pleasant memory for me.

Only 2 more physical therapy visits left and the shoulder is not much better. Hoping to stave off another surgery on it for as long as possible. I've another ganglion cyst on the back of the right wrist that is getting bigger and causing me some issues. This is extremely disheartening to me as I've already had 3 surgeries there and denervectomies that were supposed to prevent new cysts from forming.

I checked on the canna rhizomes yesterday and they are sprouting! I'll have to get the pots ready and pick up more potting soil, maybe today! One of the amaryllis is sending up a new leaf. Hoping the rest will break dormancy soon, too. Supposed to have 40's today and up to 60 tomorrow, but then dipping down into the 20's again! Hope that not too many plants heave out of the ground on me.

News story the other day about a French Bull Dog being picked up by a hungry hawk! The doggie got away but was injured pretty badly by the talons. I'm always nervous for my cats when the hawks are nearby. Guess there are no foxes for them to try to grab!

Keep the prayers coming please! We are trying to get approved to be a 'supervisory household' for a friend in need. I can't go into detail because of confidentiality.

Grandson is preparing to take his first crack at the G.E.D. test. We need a baseline on what he'll need to focus on in order to pass.

The birds are chirping away outside and today I should be able to open up the windows and freshen the house. I scrubbed the kitchen cabinets and the kitchen floor over the past couple of days. Getting a 'jump start' on the spring cleaning.

Interesting on St. Valentine Joyce. I loved the smilers, again... Thank you. I hope you have a good day today. I got another call on the property. Offers are going up. Yay!!!

Pitmom. That is so freaky about the hawk and the French Bulldog. I hope the pup will be okay. We got a family of hawks that have nested back in the woods for years. I can't get back there anymore to see the nest but I think it would still be there. We get ravens that come in too. I always think of them as birds of wisdom.

I hope you both have a good day today.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Friends...

Just a little 'heads up' that daily Smilers will be AWOL for awhile.
Perhaps someone else can take over?

p.s.
Karen...I sent you an email on this situation

@Pitmom - wild boar? I could eat that! The most exotic game we get around here is bison - which is pretty good. Pate in any form is delicious!

HI.
