Gumbet to Bodrum (not my photo)

Superbe+++++++

Merci beaucoup Danielle - tu peux juste distinguer le château de Bodrum au milieu de la photo et ce bateau est en route pour Kos, en Grèce. Il y a un ferry régulier entre les deux pays et c'est un voyage très bon marché.

Wow...just wow. Your daughter is lucky to have that incredible view! I hope it will some day be your view too, wouldn't that be nice! :)

Thank you for the wonderful comments on my hyacinth...you know, they ought to smell like grape juice, wouldn't that be wonderful?! Alas, some of the prettiest flowers (roses included) have no scent at all. Odd but oh well!

Glad you like the birdy pictures! Yes, our robins are entirely different--except for the red on the breast, they're nothing alike. I ADORE your robins, they can be as round as a ball and it's so darn cute! So dainty and darling...ours charge around in the grass looking to disturb wormies or other bugs to eat...they have longer legs and a more substantial frame. Not cute and elegant, but still they are wonderful and I adore them too! :) Such a pretty song too!

We are so lucky to have so many species. What fun to see them come for some seeds...more and more now that the word is out. At one point some years ago we had to cut them off because they were literally eating up our budget...they would empty 4 huge feeders in a DAY. It was INCREDIBLE. Loved all the birds but there is a limit. Then we ran into money problems that got very dire and couldn't afford any seed at all. Now we are in a better place but we can't feed them as we once did. We have to ration them! :)

Yes on the refrigerator and freezer! We couldn't do this without those conveniences. We have a nice sized refrigerator with a fair freezer above it. Neither are huge but hopefully they will do. We can always get a larger one if this one doesn't suffice. And we do cook almost all of our own meals because we are on a ketogenic diet and do not eat carbohydrates (almost none, anyway). In the end, we eat better than we ever have but it does mean that eating out is not much of an option unless we have bunless burgers or things like that. We love our own cooking though so it's not an issue. It's also cheaper and healthier by far.

I hope you have a very lovely day/evening/morning! *hugs*
