There’s a birds of prey rescue near me and we have brought them a baby robin and squirrel before. ( I hope they didn’t feed them too though birds of prey)

I came home to a couple of nice handmade cards from my boys, sitting on my tank lid. I thanked them and told them not to touch my tank again :)

Finally got got what I needed to start the garden, much later than usual. I almost decided to skip it this year but then I thought, what would Paul say “ better late than never kid come July you would have regretted it “ and I would have said “you know you’re right Paul, I hope I’m as wise as you when I get your age in a decade or so.”

Nice Kev! What have you got there? I just bought a bunch of cheap seedlings, nearly 60¢ each! I've got 25 tomatos, 8 jalapenos, 6 cayenne peppers, 3 bell peppers, pumpkins, beans, 2 cabbages, Swiss chard and one hot + one sweet banana pepper! Super excited to watch them grow, I'm trying to grow 500lbs of food this year.

Howdy Walker, I got 4 regular tomatoes, 3 cherry, 14 hot Hungarian peppers, 8 green bell peppers, 3 cucumbers. They didn’t have jalapeños, I’ll keep looking, I grew them last year. l grow snap peas from seed maybe some green beans as well.
