Roobert is exactly like his Momma and “General” Jelly. They both love to lay on the picnic table and bathe in the sun. We’re going to have to be careful with him this summer. His naked black skin will burn easily.

We’re on our a way to Royal Botanical Gardens but I wanted to check out the garden before we left. It is fun to see the lilacs starting to bloom. It is especially neat to see the one just beside the backdoor blooming because we…

It’s been a long haul over the past few days as I’ve been repairing the RAID-5 array in PhoenixRyzing following a series of short power failures. We definitely need a battery backup! Sigh! Promising as of right now – M: is resyncing.

Medea and I were looking at some crystals that were formed from lava flows and this one jumped out at me. It’s called a Stibite-Ca. Don’t you think it looks like a deluxe baked potatoe? Medea checks out the information at the interactive station.

Tanit is having a snack of carrots as we wait in Emergency for her to get a stitch to close the little gash under her chin. This is turning into a hard lesson for sitting on her bum.

This is always a classic way to find Roobert laying on the couch. I've never really understood how that is comfortable on the neck. I get a little sore just looking at him.

How is this comfortable?
