Wtg everyone! I hope you had a restful/productive Sunday of your choosing. Mine ended up more restful. We started watching a “Murdoch Mysteries” and I fell asleep. Dh is prepped and ready for going back to work tomorrow.
Walked Beau after dark. We have a shelf behind the house for outside cats to eat their food, and found a possum frozen “dead” hanging off the shelf, lol. We must have caught him mid flight and he froze, hanging from the shelf, front legs on the ground. He stayed like that the whole time we walked the length of the back yard, long enough for me to video several angles. We came in and I noticed blood drops. Poor Beau ripped a toenail somewhere. That’s what I get for not keeping up with dremeling his toenails. I feel horrible. He seemed to not notice and wanted to keep playing so hopefully it’s not too uncomfortable for him.
Thank you for the ideas on parsnips. I didn’t get to them today but probably will attempt to cook them tomorrow. I do hope they’re the “sweet after the frost” and not the bitter ones.
