This might brighten you up......(continued)

We have a saying here in Aus.
Avoid Hangovers. Stay Drunk .

Go to an Asian grocery and buy a can of them in the canned fruit section. You won't regret it. Sometimes you can get them fresh in Asian markets. Just realize that a canned leechee is to a fresh leechee as a canned peach is to a fresh peach. In other words you lose something in the canning process, but canned leechees are pretty darned good canned so you can guess how got they are fresh.

When we get to many to eat in one day .
We freeze them. They then keep indefinitely.

OK all you ARTISTS .
How many colours can you see on this Water Dragon ?

What a lovely and proud beastie! I love the burgundy touch on the belly. Are those mating colours?
Is that a casuarina tree (Austrailian pine) in the background?

You are right on all 3 questions.
You sure know your stuff.
I normally only see the plain grey ones .
But this day I was blessed.
I like the first Pic better.
Because it`s all of him .

The connection here is - water.
Dragrons, casuarinas and mermaids all live in or around it.

Do you ever run your bare feet over the casuarina cones? Great foot or fin massage!

No I haven`t .
On the tree or on the ground ?

Nice looking water dragon, have you painted one?

I did about 10 yrs ago.
Can`t even remember where I sold it .
So I`m not sure where it is now .

Did you photograph it before you sold it?

Not sure But I`ll have a look .
No digital in those days .

LOL! on the ground. Could be a little tricky when they are still in the trees.

Perhaps this dragon will consent to pose for you so you can paint another.

I do mainly abstract now .
So it wouldn`t be the same
as the one I did 10 yrs ago .

I`m working on a series of 27 paintings ,
Titled "My Red Shoe Experience" .
Not that I`ve had much experience wearing them . lol

Your water dragon is indeed a dragon. for a minute I thought you were talking about running your feet down its spiney back. OUCH

Do you feed with your mown grass or does it end up mulch. LOL I suppose if you feed with it it ends up compost.

Want to post any of your Red Shoe series?

BloomsWithaView
It`s only when we cut really long grass that we gather it up.
Otherwise it kills the small Blue Cooch.
The shorter grass is just left where it is cut .


I`m going to start a thread called
"What Type of Grass do you Grow ? "
I`s that a good idea or not ?

Can one assume you are referencing Queensland Blue Cooch golfcourse type grass here?
(the word has a few other meanings in our local vernaculars. :D)

Yes mermaid , Qld BC .
I have heard of the one that`s grown over there.
That`s why I`m asking should I post the Thread .
It may attract a lot of attention ? Just a thought .

Thank you mulchmania for asking.
I have been looking for 1 hour ,
Just can`t find those Pic`s .
No matter, I`ll take some more .
I`ll post them up later .
Go the Colts .

Be fun to see them when you do.

I am happy to say I got through Superbowl Sunday without seeing the game. I did not even know who was playing until I saw the score on the internet headlines. But you must be happy because the Colts won.

Just an update to the A Day in the life of a Tomato story .
Last pic taken of toms on the vine .
Today the Ginger have the bed all to themselves .

Washing and dicing .

Looks like you got a nice harvest. The Bushies still behaving themselves?

And into the dryer .
Not bad for 6 weeks growing .

Yes mermaid ,
Guess they will have to go back to the Macadamias for Dinner .
They don`t even seem to like the Horse feed .

Lovely harvest, did you make at least one tomato sandwich.?

Yes Blooms,
What you see in the drier was only half my Stash .
A lot went in here .
Look at the colour of those Yokes .
Free range no less .

Yumm wouldn't mind having that for my supper.

Hope this Warms Yall Up .

Lovely bonfire, but no matter how close I hold my hands to the screen they are still cold.

Here we have a saying ,
If you are out camping and run out of matches .
How can you start a fire ???
Rub 2 boy scouts together .

Try rubbing Your hands together .

We have that saying too. Today is cold but sunny. It should be warming up over the next week.

Here`s Something to think about while you are trying to keep warm .
Which country has the most fatal shark attacks in the world ?

Ginger,
Australia?

pajaritomt
Was that a Guess ?

http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/statistics/GAttack/World.htm
USA is about 4 th . Who would have thought ?

From that chart USA has the most shark attacks. Yes, that was a guess. I never gave the whole business much thought. I am not terribly surprised though, because I have read a lot about shark attacks, both here and in Australia, but more in the US. The Australia ones are mostly TV films of guys in cages trying to bait sharks so they can photograph them.
One way or the other, I don't much worry about sharks. Occurances are still are rare considering the number of beach goers. I grew up around sharks and I worry more about them than I do about the people they bite. They are slowly but surely declining in numbers. Humans are not.
It is terrible for the families involved, but we have too few predators in the world. The biggest problem with sharks is that we are eating their food supply so they go for humans.
Another problem of overpopulation.

I'll throw in some cheer myself...

Daylilly? Think I just got some that look a bit like that.
