hey! @GoJays speaking of flowers!? who was? oh yeah I was....so listen this!
All of our ( 6) late blooming Amaryllis' bulbs had different colours ( the usual red, pink, variegated 2 colour ones,.....BUT I have never had one that bloomed into an all green and white flower?? This one had 4 flowers at the top of the stem but all of them were this weird green, like as if it was newborn and trying to mature into another stage. Nope, it just stayed green!

The sun in your window!!! Yes, same here! I have DH's Chia pet guy in full bloom sitting in the window atm, he is inside a ceramic flower pot that is shaped like a bathtub....so he looks like he is soaking in the tub in the sunshine.

@GoJays - Taffy was a Ragdoll mix. She had some awesome qualities which Ragdolls have, like she would go limp when you picked her up (hence, the ragdoll name); she had the beautifully soft bunny fur and, off course, the cool markings and blue eyes. I was glad she had a tabby head, though, rather than leaning more to the Siamese shape of head. Plus, she was big, but not heavy - which is another trait.

In the same litter when she was born, there was a Snowshoe - so we can't be really sure of what her mix was!

Then, there was this other thing which made her special, nothing to do with her breed. She didn't meow, but made airy kinda sounds... Phhhheeeh, meeeh? Too hard to describe. I remember thinking yay, no loud cat meowing, but I was SO wrong - she could turn up the volume.


@walkonby - there are definitely some great genes on that side of the family. My FIL was 83 when he died - he was 10 years older than MIL.
Our son always mentions the hair - all the men have thick hair and lots of it. My side, poor guys all started balding in their 20s.


Well, I had a smattering of lunch, so I have to call the pharmacy, then try have a nap.

So far $250 donated to my GoFundMe to try and get to the transformation summit. A couple people with big followings are going to put a push on soon to share my campaign. The one guy has 10,000 followers and he’s going to share for me during the super bowl. Hope everyone is having a good day.

@Natalka , how sweet they are! I did a little reading about Siamese cats when our DD adopted the twins, and you likely know this already, but they're born white like that, then the areas of their bodies that are the coolest (temperature), will be the areas that will turn brown! I don't know how true that is, because the article indicated that, for instance, noses, faces, and paws tend to cool faster, so yes, but how one of the twins can have white paws is a puzzlement. Haha.
One of them, I think it's, Suda...her eyes are starting to cross slightly, which has been somewhat eliminated through selective breeding.
Anyhoodles, your post reminded me of that...to me at least...new information.

@GoJays , I suspect that a photographer managed to snap a pic of the elusive humming donkey. Not many have seen the creature in a domestic environment.

@GoJays , I gather there's a joke in there somewhere wrt that plant, but...I don't get it.
