Well, we have a 17 mph wind, gusting to 28, and there's some snow on the ground from last night. Maybe that doesn't qualify as lion weather, but it's certainly not meek.

I love coloring with crayons. When I did a lot of mailart - my moderate art skills found crayons easier to use than colored pencils, paints, inks, brushes.

Yep, the lamb has left the building. We had snow on the ground here, too and I just had to get up and close the two windows up here in the computer room. There was a stiff breeze blowing thru from front to back. Supposed to stay chilly this week. Wah!

It has now started snowing again, Rusty. About a cm on the ground. Wind is up to 23 mph and temp sticking at 32F. Winter isn't giving up without a fight. The crocuses are not at all thrilled.

Oh boy, you got the winter back again, and here it is so sunny and warm today. I just went and fed the fish in the pond, and saw that there is lots and lots of frogspawn floating around. Annie B.

Here in Florida it feels like either a late fall day in the north or a January/February day in Florida. It got into the 40s last night, probably won't see 65 today and is due to go back into the 40s (and in some areas just north of us in the 20s) tonight. Burrrrr

Can we cook *my* fish? I don't think I likes 'em wiggling!

By Rusty (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #9670) on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 11:31 am: |
How many fishies ya got? Are they goldfish? I was a little upset at the snow after both ponds have the heaters out, but the pumps are running and the fish won't mind a little snow as long as the surface doesn't freeze.

Rusty they only wiggle when you hit them with lemon!!LOL

Only got about a dozen gold fish left, and three golden orfe. It is only a small pond, and has no filter or anything, just plants, and the water is as clear as anything. Don't know how many frogs there are, but there are quite a few.
|
By Rusty (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #9672) on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 12:07 pm: |
Three golden orfe and a partridge in a pear tree? What, pray tell, is an orfe? And the natural ponds with no filtration are a joy. I only added the pump five years ago when the koi in my pond reached a foot long. The goldies would be fine with an occasional waterchange.

RUSTY Golden Orfe are a long slender fish. They swim near the surface and catch the insects. My pond is too small for them really, as they can be prone to jumping. They also like to be in a group. Annie B.

By Rusty (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #9676) on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 12:46 pm: |
Hmm - the golden orfes look like a fish we used as feeders at the aquarium. They started becoming common at the bait place and the fish stores about 1989 or so. They had a slight pinkish cast to them and were called Tuffies in the trade. I never did figure out what they really were.

all i remember last time is he had a cardboard sign that said will dive for air fills...or something of that sort...no idea what his "dive gear" looks like! oh, and who is cynde???

Erp. LOL She is our resident "Welcome Wagon" and general know-it-all where Bonaire visitors are concerned. I'm sure *she* would know SpongeBob's modus operandi!

By Dan A. Kassner (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #275) on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 4:55 pm: |
Bluetang: Nope, none of my family was here in 1867. My dad came in 1943, but, yes, I was born here in 1945. So, that would make me native-born, but not native, which term is reserved for the aboriginals--in this area, the Tlingit (kling-kit) Indians.

Cynde, I gave it my best shot on your boid - but no luck. Need to be more familiar with your Western species. All I can figger from the long, narrow hooked beak is that it eats insects, and from the long, dropped wings, that it flies fast. Hmm - flycatcher? LOL Looks similar to our mockingbird but I can't nail the ID down.
