I thought spring had arrived and it got cold and slightly Snowy again
4:36 am
zoozzoom
Sorry to hear that. We are lucky so far as we are going to have reasonable weather all this week!
4:38 am
rubyfoo
I eel soory for the fish, who all emerged from the depths on Sunday because it was warm, but have disappeared again
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Well I am sure it will nnot be long now before they can re-surface and enjoy the algae!
4:42 am
rubyfoo
and they've only been fed twice this year. There are lots of babies and one foot-long golden one with gorgeous sweeping fins
4:42 am
rubyfoo
whe started out with é" "feeders" is now 100's of substantial fish!
4:43 am
rubyfoo
23 feeders (tiny ones)
4:44 am
rubyfoo
what would have cist $1:dozen in the US, cost 1€ each
4:45 am
zoozzoom
My father used have koi karp many years ago now and they got to a huge size. Alas he had to leave them behind as he had no way of getting them to the island.
4:46 am
zoozzoom
You could put your hand in with the food and they would take it out of your hand with a big slurp. i thought that was great!
4:47 am
rubyfoo
aaah. Koi are much fancier and bigger, but these are very pretty and somehow (perhaps eggs in the plants?) have introduced back ones. So they are all mixed and every year there are many babies
4:48 am
rubyfoo
I think koi are smarter than ordinary little goldfish and also more sociable but once the season gets underway, they emerge whenever someone comes near
4:48 am
zoozzoom
I know my father used to have a seperate part for the babies and have a netting across so the other fish could not eat them. Then he would put them into the main pond when they were large enough.
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Yes they are, Ruby. If you put your hand into the water they would swim right into the hand and you could lift them out of the water...look at them then put them back again. They would seem to be happy with that.
4:50 am
rubyfoo
I think they eat whatever babies are born in the winter, Under the ice. They control the population that way, I think
4:51 am
zoozzoom
I have no idea, Ruby sounds horrible I suppose that is how it is lol
4:51 am
rubyfoo
When the water lilies start again, the pond is quite lovely.
4:52 am
rubyfoo
Things like that don't bother me; I'm definitely hard-hearted LOL
4:52 am
zoozzoom
I used to love it, ruby. also the sound of the water fountain going too. We used to sit there with our drinks in the Summer and just enjoy!
4:53 am
zoozzoom
I bet you would not say that if you were swimming along and this massive mouth came towards you ready to slurp you up LOL
4:55 am
rubyfoo
We have a deck, adjacent to the breakfast room, which overlooks the pond and garden and, at a distance, the lake. It faces South, so is usable for many months of the year
4:55 am
zoozzoom
That sounds devine, ruby!
4:56 am
rubyfoo
It's a lovely site (and sight). We were very Lucky to find this place when we did
4:57 am
rubyfoo
The village has become too chic and expensive now, but in 1995 is was still affordable.
4:57 am
rubyfoo
whoops, sorry
4:58 am
zoozzoom
Funny how areas that were just a place become a must have area in the end lol
4:58 am
zoozzoom
No worries, Ruby i think it is just you an I here and I already had that one :-)
4:59 am
Maisie
I'm here too but I had that too and I just lurk!
4:59 am
rubyfoo
And there is very little available now; all that happens is that they occasionally tear something down and construct something bigger, but my view of the lake remains unobstructed though distant
5:02 am
rubyfoo
Hello Maisie, I ampoor at multi-tasking lol
5:02 am
rubyfoo
three red boxes!
5:03 am
Maisie
Hi Ruby, I think I've jinxed myself, I post something in the chat and then get red boxes
5:03 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Maisie :-)
5:03 am
zoozzoom
Sorry I had already said hello but the babble freeze swallowed up my comments lol
5:03 am

The chat does that every morning at 6AM chat time. I think it's a server reboot.
5:03 am
Maisie
Tell me about it
5:04 am

Hello, Molly :-)
5:05 am

Hello, Molly. I stayed up until 2:30 watching CNN fr the primary results, but I only lasted thru NC, OH and FL

5:18 am

I only see what i see on the news, Ruby. So do not know too much about it.

It is strange following what's happening on TV, but the NYTimes only has day-old news

extra-loving the hubs today.
i get to TW today (since the ENTIRE DC METRO is shut down for over 24 hours with almost no notice) and baby wants a McGriddle. so hes going to fetch me one. :)
9:01 am
MLFAN17
judi yeah I don't agree with it either
9:02 am
Judi
Props to baby-daddy, Eva! Whatta man!
9:02 am
Judi
And my spider sense is tingling over that DC Metro shut-down. System-wide inspection?? Bet they got a terror threat and just don't want to go public with that.
9:03 am
EvaNadine
yeah. especially since hes STILL reeling from a weekend of food poisoning + still feels like crap!
9:04 am
MLFAN17
4th column a?
9:05 am
MLFAN17
eva yikes
9:05 am
72 Temple Owl
they had a fire Monday.
9:05 am
MLFAN17
at the metro in dc owl?
9:06 am
EvaNadine
im not so sure, judi. we get so many terror threats, its not even worth keeping them quiet. and metro is under so much scritiny, if that came out, theyd be in even more crap than they are now.
i think, honestly, the system is such a mess, they probably realized there were a LOT of issues going on, and finally decided to do the right thing by shutting it down to take care of some things.
my only real criticism is that (unless there was a truly immediate risk looming) they could have given folks a little more notice to plan ahead.
9:06 am
72 Temple Owl
yes. near where the fatal one was, and in an area where the cables that caught fire had been replaced.
9:06 am
gramma
I heard about the shit down. They were doing safety inspections after a fire the other day. It was well publicised here in Vermont.
9:07 am
gramma
I meant shut down but shit down works too
9:07 am
Judi
Ah. Sounds like they should shut it down for more than 24 hours then.
9:07 am
MLFAN17
can anyone give me stats for the 9's please?
9:07 am
Judi
lol, gramma!
9:07 am
72 Temple Owl
if one can derat, why can't one depest?
9:09 am
EvaNadine
they really should. it needs a total overhaul (not to mention the management as well).
but alas, DC cant function without it. no metro = something like 700,000 extra people each day on the roads, which already can barely handle the numbers that already use them.
9:10 am
MLFAN17
isn't that the truth eva

Hello, Aloy
6:58 pm
Aloyisius
any signs of Spring in your neck of the woods, Byz?
6:59 pm
TheByzantine
yes ... mild winter ...
7:00 pm
Aloyisius
today I noticed the first baby leaves emerge on the "stick" I planted called the red maple tree.. am so excited! Have been careful about watering it during our prolonged dry spell.
7:01 pm
Aloyisius
even wrote it on the calendar, lol
7:02 pm
TheByzantine
the snow piles are shrinking and the dirt and debris is on display
7:03 pm
Aloyisius
ugh, I know that sight too well.. but it will all go away
7:03 pm
TheByzantine
good for you and the tree.
7:04 pm

7:05 pm
Aloyisius
LOL.. great way to put it!
7:09 pm
TheByzantine
have the orange groves started to recover from the bug?
7:14 pm
Aloyisius
ooh, now there's a topic! We have lost maybe half of the grove to "citrus greening".. and I can tell almost all of the trees are infected to some extent.. BUT.. I can't help but marvel at how many blossoms are appearing and how many limbs are still pliable. Amazing.. it is like the trees are trying their best to survive, so we keep doing whatever we can. I know it is a losing battle, and my husband asked me why I was working so hard clearing under trees that were obviously in bad shape. My answer: "so they can die in dignity".. no more argument from him. We had a small harvest this year, but hey, we had a harvest.. we shall see what the next growing season brings. Meanwhile, I enjoy the aroma of the many many blossoms..
7:16 pm
TheByzantine
Hoping for the best.
7:18 pm
cybernan
er 7 please?
7:19 pm
Aloyisius
ty, Byz.. so are we. Our neighbors gave up and are now raising cattle.. they love it! The cattle graze the former orchard so Rick doesn't have to mow.. a "cow handler" takes care of almost everything.. they just provide the grazing land for "grass-raised beef" that commands a premium on the market.. they are glad to be rid of the orchard
