@GottaLaff You never want to see them lead with “turmoil at the Pentagon”.

Odds are the Fox News Host has rum in his standard issue Coke machine.

The Cola, not the Junior. Although the two blithering idiots share many a sociopathic quality and worship the Mad King.

@SherBeareth Bear!!! How are you? I'm kinda limited going thru a shoulder/back issue (nothing unusual for me but a real flare up)
@GottaLaff Laffers!! ♥️♥️♥️ Was literally just thinking about you, read an article on Carney.
So sorry to hear of a flare up—that’s the pits for computer use. It must be challenging to have a whole new health care system.
I’m in a sling and a foot boot from a slip up in the hallway this week, coincidentally got my bad shoulder (impressively dramatic old fall from a moving hay wagon in the rain, I was stacking and had a good descent going until a rogue bale hit me in the ass 😂) . 1/
@GottaLaff 2/ May you feel better soon and be up for stick pitching with Hammy. You must have so many projects going on in the house and garden, it’s hard to give ourselves time to heal. Bear Hugs to Port Moody STAT.
My doc gave me a muscle relaxer for my back and it misfired to a “Stella!” Elaine/Seinfeld situation, I was too drunk to talk. Or type.

@SherBeareth Omg you were Elaine!! That can be both good and bad.

I hope it was rectified!

Yeah, we're gardening away, Hammy brings his plush toy "Chickie" (Yes, a chicken) with him to help out.

Here's a snap from a week ago. Even more blooms now!

@GottaLaff @SherBeareth

garden is looking good! I’m still trying to keep the wilderness at bay 🙄

@GottaLaff

complementing your garden. Commenting on how my sprawling wilderness garden is totally out of control.

@PandaChronicle Ohhh. I didn't understand the wilderness part. Thanks!
@GottaLaff
I have 5 acres, which when I bought it 25 years ago seemed like a good idea at the time. I still love it, & love my house which I got to help design to be more than half art studio. Keeping the blackberries and shrubs from growing over the driveway & house is a lot more work than I thought it would be. At least 3 acres is woods, which I can mostly ignore. It’s where the woods meet civilization is where all the work is.
🥵
@PandaChronicle Oh, that's an ongoing struggle, absolutely. Nature always wins, lol
@GottaLaff
I always feel like most of what I do involves moving some amount of green stuff from one location to another. Ha ha, yes, nature always wins. When I think I’m making progress, it laughs and drops a couple thousand blackberry seeds somewhere.
@GottaLaff Oh Laffy that’s a slice of paradise! Reminds me of the thoughtfully planted gardens and seating in Japan. The little bird and bunny are great whimsical touches. I hope a live bunny hops in for a snap. I just love it.
Of course Hammy has a pet. What a sweetheart. William never took to a stuffie, but look out trespassing mice. 🐾 ♥️

@SherBeareth Oooo mice. Hammy goes after squirrels.

We rarely get bunnies inside our yard because of the way it's situated. But just outside we get deer, bears, all kinds of amazing animals. Love it.
