10:55 am
MLFAN17
latin ending is what i saw in the chat earlier

Saint Patrick's day is just a fake holiday made up by the green industry to sell more green stuff ..
7:29 pm
Trifioso
lololol. yup just like those pi days hooligans, trying to sell us more math
7:30 pm
Trifioso
tomorrow is primo's birthday. he is - gasp - 28. It is going SO FAST!!!!

Good morning and thanks for that ch 5
7:41 pm
Trifioso
good morning!
7:44 pm
torgone
Heya Liz!
7:44 pm
Trifioso
boy, what a difference, to have lovely babblers here in the chog, vs the usual snark parade
7:44 pm
Lizlin
Long time no see Tor - hope you're doing OK.
7:45 pm
Lizlin
No trolls is always good too.
7:46 pm
torgone
I am well. Hope you are too.
7:46 pm
Trifioso
yes indeed.
7:46 pm
Lizlin
All's good here down under - in QLD we've had it relatively easy so far.
7:46 pm
Trifioso
i am just itching to start planting things outdoors, but alas, it is still too early. Reading seed catalogs over and over again will have to see me through
7:47 pm
Lizlin
My hubby is the main gardener here - we love growing fruit and veg and we're also working on creating a new garden area in the front.
7:48 pm
Lizlin
When's planting time Trif?
7:48 pm
Trifioso
sounds like heaven! I am quite sure you have a much longer season too.
7:48 pm
Trifioso
we are still weeks away from last frost. May 15th at the earliest
7:49 pm
Lizlin
Yes but even after 12 years here, we're still trying to find out when is best for some things. We've had tomatoes all year this time - they've only just died off and we've new ones planted.
7:49 pm
Trifioso
not sure how the new pet additions will work with the gardens either. they eat everything. and I mean EVERYTHING
7:49 pm
Lizlin
Wow! How long is your spring / summer season.
7:50 pm
Lizlin
Do you fence things off from them?
7:50 pm
Trifioso
that sounds so nice, lizlin. i have been starting some stuff inside, at one week intervals, so everything doesnt grow all at once
7:50 pm
Lizlin
Yes we also stagger things so that they last longer.
7:51 pm
Trifioso
ummmm. everything in the garden is usually done by mid october. and yes, the goats are fenced in most of the time, though they do have some free roaming time each day. I am working on ways to soft fence them in to problems areas on the property, hoping they can eat down some of the briars and such.
7:51 pm
torgone
I was talking (mostly listening) to customer in the upper midwest today when the talk turned to weather, and he said something about this time of year I had never heard: "A robin gets snowed on three times." They had had their first snow, and he predicted two more.
7:52 pm
Lizlin
Do goats just eat non stop or if you provide them with an over abundant supply, will that stop them eating your veggies?
7:52 pm
Trifioso
hmmm. not inaccurate, torgone!
7:52 pm
Trifioso
no, they eat (and poop) non stop
7:52 pm
Lizlin
I've never heard that Tor - 2 more snowfalls doesn't sound great to me though. I don't miss snow.
7:53 pm
Trifioso
they are generally quite lovely, and so amusing. quite like toddlers
7:53 pm
Lizlin
Right - a bit like the cockatoos! Not really comparing goats to cockatoos - except in eating habits!
7:55 pm
torgone
I have no love for snow. That's why I moved here.
7:55 pm
Lizlin
Which part of the USA - if you don't mind me asking.
7:55 pm
Trifioso
it's always exciting the first time it snows each year. and then by april we are all despondent
7:56 pm
Lizlin
I used to love snow when it first fell. It was really pretty - not if I was driving though, but it turned icy and slushy so quickly.
7:56 pm
Trifioso
it does that, for sure
7:57 pm
torgone
San Diego, California
7:58 pm
Trifioso
I have never been to san diego. I really would love to visit someday
7:59 pm
Lizlin
I was there once - in the 70s! I loved the zoo. It was so much more open than any other I'd seen and we had the most amazing chocolate souffle at some restaurant we went to. I can still taste it - well I wish I could, anyway!
7:59 pm
Lizlin
Fireworks! Can I offer any clues?
7:59 pm
Trifioso
huzzah for lizlin!
