Wonderful pics Ken!

and this boys and girls is why we don’t ride in cars with our feet on the dashboard …..

Ouch!!!

Copperheads are notorius for being found in trees, especially during cicada season. They will congregate at the base of and on the trunks of oak trees (maybe other species as well) waiting for the cicadas to emerge from the ground and start crawling up tree trunks.

Here a famous/infamous picture from the internet. There are 4 copperheads in this picture. Most folks only find 3. Some have only found 2.

Yep they’re there! Wow! I’d let them have the tree.

What a difference two weeks can make. This is going to see my Son, on the Farm.
We are in Lock Down now...

We are in Lock Down now...

Why are you in lockdown? Is Covid not on the downhill slide down there?

Those kids and grandkids are cuter'n a bug's ear.

Hi Old Mate Jerry,
We closed our Borders and had almost no Covid.
We were very slow, with vaccination - for the under 50's,
Then last month, a driver picked up some air crew, NOW about 5 million of us are in Lock Down.

JP (Ripster) had mentioned on FCD about his wife's success in painting and I think that is wonderful.
We had a family friend, Ronald Hedge, who was a painter and even had a lot of his work in galleries around North Texas and in Oklahoma City. He has passed on, but over the years we acquired more than 30 of his paintings and I thought I would share a
few of them. He loved Colorado scenery.

He was a gifted artist, and you can see his love of Colorado and landscapes, i particularly like the top painting.

Have been doing some tinkering, and had to pull these out. You can't find these anymore, you can get the drill bits, but they won't be made here. I don't know of any tools made here anymore.

[Dan In MI]

I don't know of any tools made here anymore.

A shame Craftsman tools are now made offshore, too. Your drill bit set is terrific, and the case just screams "old-school!"

Thanks mate, had this set for 30 years and it is one of my " old-school " treasures.

I found all 4 Copperheads but prefer 0! Great pictures, David, cudgee, drl110 and koldgold. I like seeing snow on a hot day here but would prefer being with Eustace, that looks breathtaking. Hope to make it back to Europe one day.

I purchased a 1993 Dictionary at an estate sale last week.
I noticed one word was missing, or hadn't been created yet is better?

[TPK]

PayPal?

[cudgee]

Good get Tom, i had no idea.

[QTCut5]

Pandemic? (Although certainly the word "pandemic" had already been created long before 1993.)

There has been a number of snake photos posted lately, any of you ever see these around? A Worm snake, maybe twice the size of a nightcrawler. Would make a nice meal for a Robin, huh?

[Mumbleypeg]

I’ve seen them around here Ike. They look like a night crawler, only bigger. Usually hiding under a rock or log, or similar.

The Robin I live with would never touch that thing!

Classic farm photo of the backdoor. Good chance it is from a dairy farm.

I used to drive past a dairy every other week. Never mind that temperatures could get up over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer; I made sure the windows were up and the vents closed within a mile of it!
