Made it to Dublin airport today.

Can you see a dragon?

I have enjoyed the Melbourne Botanical Fest for many years. This year was very nice. There was local honey dealers and lots of native flowers. The bromeliads were amazing. I really like them and have many in my yard.

I needed to get supplies for my chickens and ducks at Tractor Supply. They had Amaryllis, Hyacinth on sale. The bulbs were sprouting in a sealed bag, so I rescued them. I stopped at Lowes on the way home and found more in need of rescue. It is the first time I tried Tulips, Daffodils and Hyacinth. I hope they grow.

I made Hot Cocoa bombs before the new year. I thought it would be “sweet” for 2023. next time I will try to use the cocoa mix that uses water instead of milk.

We went to the zoo today. It was a lovely day, not too hot. I found out the zoo has lions now.

I got Ginger May 22, 2012. He had a manx mother and father, but he was the only kitten that had a tail. Our cat Mercury got along with him well. Priscilla was mostly good, but did cause a few infected bite wounds.

Ginger was a water kitty that played in the dog size water bowl I had. He was not fond of the dogs I dog sat, but was not mean to them. He kept a wide distance from them. I loved having him sit beside me and purr.

Ginger passed away in his cubby on July 2nd, 2022. He is missed.

Linda is in Huber Heights Ohio. She has beautiful flowers that she sells at a farmer’s market.

In October 2021, my hair was long enough to donate to Locks of Love after a year of not cutting due to COVID. It is the second time i have done this. Locks of Love uses the hair to make wigs for those going through chemo.

Today my class of math and science students surprised me with birthday gifts. I loved the messages in the cards
