Bonnie Ballentine Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I love coming in here to view the amazing work...creativity supreme. I learn something new every time I visit. Thank you, all, for sharing. My mojo has been absent lately...probably Covid related. Here's my latest...about Covid changes. I'm pretty sure you folks know I love ice cream and visit ice cream places frequently...with friends in tow. Nathan's is one of our favorite places. Local, small business, very popular. Covid changed things and it did with Nathan's. The long lines still exist but everything is very different. No tables, no lingering with friends, no Bessie. We now take chairs and sit in the shade, if it can be found, to eat and visit. I think Nathan's did a great job putting all the protections in place.

Michele Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think you should share these with Nathan's, Bonnie. By the way, ice cream is one of my best friends. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie Kinkel Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi every one, nice work from all of you and Shirley I would love to tast your cake maybe with a nice glass of bubbles! I won the Ribbon Dragonflies Script last weekend and have had great fun playing around with it. I made a lot of dragonflies and I like the ones with the lace wings best because the lace simply suits them. Furthermore I made one with a red/white/blue ribbon because those are the colors of our flag and an orange one because orange is our national color. And then some more.

Michele Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Bonnie, I thought it said "poopy" at first glance. LOL Those dragonflies are so cool, Corrie. I also like the lace. It mimics the delicacy of their wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm doing in August besides picking and canning. Module 10 Split photo I've done the other parts of Module 10 but I haven't come up with a way to use them yet.

Just looked at those I didn't see the last days. Linda, I really like your splitted photo and to see the good things make me a little bit hungry, can I order too? Corrie, your nursery is so lovely, would fly like this! Trish, wonderfully romantic again, as always with matching colors Sawnie, fantastic blending and panorama work, transforming Rocky Creek Nemisis, your blending totally different but wow too, my favourite is the second one Shirley, yummy, are you becoming our next party and cake specialist??

Minka Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 About five years ago, I had a little woodchuck move in under one of my front decks. I went to the lawn and garden center to see how to get rid of him (without killing him). He said they don't like stinky stuff in their living space and to go to the Dollar Store and buy a whole bunch of the foulest smelling car fresheners you can find and hang them above where he lives. It's only a one step deck ... so I hung them down the cracks in the deck. The next morning I took a look and he had put them all on top of the deck. So I rehung them and put tacks in the hangers. He chewed the hangers off and put them all in a pile outside the deck. He won. He stayed ... and five years later he is still there. His "doorway" under is only about two feet over from my entryway in. We've made peace with each other except I don't plant flowers anywhere near him anymore as he just eats them right down to the ground. I have plenty of hosta around and he eats that - but that's okay, you just can't kill that stuff. He eats a lot of grass, too, and I've plenty of that. Last year a red fox tippy toed and was sneaking up on him and got darn close, but I just couldn't let him get him. I opened the door and hollered at the fox and that woodchuck took after the fox and chased him pretty near 200 feet! I guess the fox learned a valuable lesson that day, too. Don't mess with a woodchuck. When I come outside if he is eating close by ... he just GLARES at me and then runs to his entrance in. I snapped these pics of him yesterday. They were from inside the glass doors so they aren't all that good, but if I went out he would have just run away. This is his glare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Ballentine Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 What a great story, Minka! We trap them and relocate them...not really allowed and we haven't done it in years. They love cantaloupe. We called animal control to get one we had trapped...we thought they would relocate it...not! They killed it because they are such pests. Never called animal control again!

Michele Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 OMG, Minka, I'm still laughing. Thank you so much for sharing the entire story. And your page is adorable. Bonnie, animal control does not do rescues. I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie Kinkel Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Minka, What a lovely story and a great layout! I had to use the dictionary to find out what a woodchuck is. Overhere we have similar animals in the woods and grasslands. I live in a more build up area and can only maybe see them on holidays or daytrips.
