@SelineSigil9 I’ve never heard of Frost saints. Now I must find time to cause this new rabbit hole.

Ice Saints (or Frost Saints)a Euro #Folklore farming #tradition identifying a final,unexpected cold snap typically May 11–to 14th bringing last frosts of spring. The saints associated with these chilly days are Mamertus,Pancras, Servatius,Boniface,ending with "Cold St Sophia".

Very important thread! 🙏 When Swifts ground, they're in danger. They can't get airborne again without help... please read the quoted thread for advice on what to do if you find a grounded Swift, please retweet it & bookmark it too! 🙏🐦❤️

@AuthorGFAllen Reading physical books has helped me we discovered my love of reading. Holding something solid in my hands and reading off the page that is not a screen helps me sink into the book and it’s almost meditative.

Who still sits down and reads an actual physical book?

@ronsterd89 Skin or the intestines.

@SageHillfarms You are welcome. Look at that little face. We’ve never fostered a kitten or puppy that small. 💖

@LKHamilton 💜👍 Thanks.

Feeling extraordinarily depressed & suicidal today. 😞

@Cutestmommmy lol! I don’t do any special titles for the day.

@LKHamilton Happy Mothers Day! I have my family do the same thing for Mothers Day and Birthday. I don’t have to cook, do anything for them and perk, I have them Address me as Khalessi for the day - lol. 😊

Mother’s Day gifts from my daughter this year are awesome. Then she & my husband gave me the gift I want & get every year possible to not have to take care of anybody else by myself for the rest of the day. All food ordered in, and I am off duty as mom for the rest of the day.

@lady_docker Two!

@LKHamilton Are we getting a new merry book??? Please and thank you 🙏😊

This beast of a book is the Merry Gentry book after A Glimmer of Death. My dyslexia doesn’t like editing on screen so I print out and write changes long hand before transferring back to the computer.

@CarlaCvito1981 Part of the edit is to put in new scenes, not just remove others.

@LKHamilton I’ll say, Leave it as is! The bigger the book of a Merry Gentry series- dyslexia, unedited and not proofread sounds much more exciting a read, in my opinion! #MerryGentryIsBackFolks!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@1BadKitty88 😁

@LKHamilton You know if you need someone to proofread, I am your girl.

My husband’s ADHD has always been worse than mine. I was driven, focused until my hormones went left now I’m struggling the way I’ve seen him do for years. I apologized to him for all the times I was impatient. We both had ADHD, why couldn’t he do what I did? Estrogen, that’s why

@senveben22119 I see a hippopotamus.

@RGRyan777 I grew up with it, so yes.

Could you use this if you had to?

Our kittens minutes after birth three years ago this week. Marshmallow, Smaug, Agatha, plus their brother Graham. He was adopted into another home with a kitten brother from another mother.

@WiggyJen Always, all you have to do is ask.

@LKHamilton Glad the Lady Garden survived the storm. Hopefully this is the end of your storm season. Could the Goddess lend me some of resilience?

The Lady garden survived the storms. The fountain which is the focal point of the garden was broken before hand. If I had been thinking, I would’ve taken the statue into the garage along with the potted plants, but the Goddess stood tall and firm in the face of all the weather.

Happy Birthday to Marshmallow, Agatha, and Smaug! They were born in rescue three years ago today. It is also the birthday of my grandmother who raised me. I took it as a sign of love and healing, and that is exactly what it has been. Thank you St. Louis Pet Rescue!

@wildliferescuer Wow, I was right. Cool! What a rare and wonderful baby!

Our mystery kit from last nights post is indeed a PINE MARTEN! 😳 One of the UK’s rarest native mammals - part of the mustelid family (alongside otters, weasels, and badgers). They’re agile climbers, spending much of their time in trees, and are known for their beautiful chocolate-brown fur and distinctive creamy “bib” on their chest. Pine martens were once widespread across the UK but suffered huge declines due to habitat loss and persecution. Thankfully, populations are slowly recovering in some areas, with this kits admission a sign of that. For this little one unless we’re incredibly lucky enough to find another kit of a similar age (which is rather unlikely, but you never know), he’ll remain with us until late August. At that point, we’ll work with other organisations to find a safe and suitable release site for him. A truly special admission for all of us at Vale Wildlife Hospital🥹.
