I pruned the grape yesterday, and turned the compost, and today the tortoise has been outside all day
it feels like I'm coming out of a tunnel

Hey Rhea, if you think the complex life forms are crazy interesting, just get some of the "lower" life forms such as an amphibian, such as a simple bullfrog.

Take bullfrog tadpoles (for example) of the same age and from the same clutch. Keep half in very warm oxygen poor water and feed them just enough to keep them alive. Take the other half and keep them in cool, oxygenated water with plenty to eat.

The disadvantaged tadpoles will turn into tiny frogs within 6 mos of hatching.

The latter group will get huge and take up to 3 years to turn into frogs.

Chorus frogs from the western US lay their eggs ONLY in stagnant, still, temporary pools. They can go from egg to frog in less than 60 days!

Amazing. Simply amazing.

ON the subject of spring, nothing but blue skies and increasing temperatures forecast for the next 7 days. upper 60's to low 70's this weekend. It's a breeding week for local wild garters for sure.

Just whining... haven't been musked by my snakes in years(?), but Sly just got me good! Cranky old man! lol He's actually worrying me a bit, so I pulled him out to give him a good look and what do I get for my concern? A few minutes of stank and a load of laundry in the wash (btw, musking isn't normal for him either. I'm really not sure what to think, but he appears fine.)

I'm a Libra and haven't taken time to weigh all the possibilities and come up with a custom title that I can live with forever... in other words... I dunno!

"Undecided" has a neat ring to it.

"I'd put something here but..."

Or, "insert clever title here"
