I’m still in shock. LOL! I hated history in school but apparently some stuff stuck in the ol’ peabrain.

A quiet day. Took the opportunity to spend some time checking out all the nests this afternoon since there was no place I had to go for a change.

Guess the tummy big that clobbered Jasmine is making the rounds, though none have been nearly as sick as she was. But I’ve had to grab paper towels several times to clean up cat yak. Loads of fun. Not!

How’d your day go? Warming up yet? We cooled off today but are supposed to warm back into the 70s tomorrow.

[PROCON]

Hi radu!

Yup, recess was my best subject in school, LOL.

Our 8" of remaining snow is down to about 2" now thanks to the rain, Woo-Hoo!

Not much happening here, just a jaunt to the grocery store.

Howz things your way?

Hey, Kathy! You’re very welcome! These quizes are fun and it’s nice to get suggestions from others! :)

Hope your Tuesday was quiet...at work and at home! ;)

Or maybe you haven’t been home yet. LOL!

[luvie]

Yep...I snatched it! LOL! Made me laugh!

[radu]

I imagine recess was everyone’s favorite in school. LOL

History was my least favorite then but I like it now. All I can figure is watching documentaries helped a lot with this quiz. :-)

That’s a nice drop in the snow level the past few days. A little more rain and it’ll be gone. YAY! Did it stop long enough today you could get your errands done in the dry?

We thought we’d get rain today but it keeps fizzling out before it gets here. Just a little drizzle here and there. Made for a gloomy day and an excuse to just stay inside.

[luvie]

Oh, ick! I was hoping for your sake that the rest of the kitties wouldn’t get what she had. I guess there’s nothing to be done but to let it play out, right?

The nests are getting more interesting with new eggies and a couple who are ready to hatch. So many nests, so little time! :)

it was very warm here! But pretty with only a little breeze. It’s 68 right now! Very springlike!

[radu]

Believe me, I was hoping for the same thing! LOL! But it was inevitable. At least the rest aren’t as sick as Jas was.

Yep, the nests have been interesting and others are getting that way. A couple of babies almost ready to fledge and others ready to hatch.
And there are still the storks to start arriving at their nests and setting up housekeeping.

Sounds like a really nice day there! We were in the upper 50s all day and still are. Tomorrow should be like your day today. Hope so since it’s grocery day.

[radu]

Goin’ for it.

[radu]

Goin’ for it.

[luvie]

It would be nice to be able to go to town when it’s pretty and not rainy and getting everything all soggy!

[luvie]

W H !!
#50--radu!!
Way to go!

[radu]

Exactly. Can’t stand putting wet bags of groceries into the car and dragging them into the house.
There’s a slight chance for rain tomorrow so I don’t know that it will be a pretty day but as long as it’s a dry one, that’s good enough.

[Don W]

8/10. I missed Queen Mary for George II, and somehow mixed Maine and Massachusetts.

[radu]

LOL! Where DO you come up with these things? Too funny!

[RegulatorCountry]

9 out of 10. Missed the last question regarding who was not banned by Puritans from Plymouth colony.
