We made it to Friday!

Friday morning, the cats left some treats for Valentine's Day. It was PD Day, and they slept in. Monday is Family Day, and so a 4-day weekend.

Isabelle did some artwork.  


♩♪♫♬  🎶 All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go!

You'll note the paper bag (above), with the paper bag coming out of it. I offered to repot Caitlin's wee orchid. It was not doing well. Still isn't.

Grampa had to go get groceries. I proposed an idea to the girls, how about Grampa buys a new orchid for Momma and you guys present it to her, pretending I resurrected it? It worked. Momma texted me, "I can't believe how green your thumb is!

We are so sad they deferred March Break. Our online kids have worked so hard, through difficult times. Students and parents are lobbying the education minister, high school kids, particularly. The Minister of Education is deleting negative comments on Instagram. Those kids are ticked off with their weird quadmesters.

JB asked about April. Thing is, the kids have Good Friday and Easter Monday off, and a PD day on the 23rd. It's a bit of a loosey goosey month. There are those who say COVID will be worse in April, as well. 

Anyway, back to our videos. I've still been feeding Oregano, our feral friend. The food froze in the cat house the night before. I realized the 25 W heater is towards the back of the house. It is a tad chilly, this morning, at -22.

...you fake a green thumb well.

Try using distilled water for indoor plants. I've learned this tip from a you-tube tutorial regarding treatment of bamboo plants (which are part of the Feng-Sui philosophy).

Hahaha! Love your green thumb! And you don't feel a bit guilty?

"Grampa" is so funny! Great videos. And I love the plant gag, good one Jenn! :)

I guess online classes will continue for months, but students need some continuity of the schedule, and to know when a break or a lesson might be held. Cold, colder, Oregano is almost ready to be a permanent resident.

Your wildlife is so cool! I mean your grands of course, lol! <3

must be hard on the children having March break postponed. Love your videos. Grandpa seems a bunch of fun, but the cat and turkey ones make me shiver a bit. Take care.

We're on well water, Duta. We don't need to use anything else!

Wild turkeys in the yard would be a thrill! Maybe even more than the deer.

It's not a surprise that Lecce would be deleting comments he doesn't like.

The wild turkeys sure show up in the snow! Looks like you are having a cold week! Take care and stay warm!
