Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

On my first day of a 5 week break up the bush, house sitting my Brother In Laws house, he has gone overseas. Not the most pleasant of starts, on Flood Watch with 2 days of rain on already saturated ground and swollen rivers, tomorrow being the worst day with heavy rain predicted. This is a shot of the decking with a rain gauge on the fence. It is already filling so it will be interesting to see how much we get. Off to a good start, was checking into the guardians and got up to do something, do reckon i can find my glasses, i am going completely silly, lucky i brought a spare pair. How can you lose a pair of glasses in a ten foot radius????.

Hope you found your specs Leon, and that the weather takes a turn for the better :) I have mislaid mine once or twice, and once spent 2 hours looking for them! In the end, I was crawling round on my hands and knees, and they had fallen off the kitchen table, somehow, and into one of my boots! :rolleyes:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing OK. Despite not having a nap yesterday, I didn't sleep a wink last night, so I expect I'm going to crash at some point! :rolleyes: I have to go into town, so I hope I don't fall asleep on the bus! :eek: Drawing strength from my Hartshead Barlow ;) Have a good day Guardians :) :thumbsup:

May your Barlow guide you on your potentially somnambulist journey, Jack.😵‍💫

Good Morning Guardians💂‍♀️

Last night, insomnia had me thinking I should go away somewhere for Christmas, as I haven't been anywhere for ages, and missed most of the summer through sciatica. I miss the days when you could just walk into a travel agent, and wave money at them. I've spent hours on the internet! :rolleyes: I decided I wasn't pinching pennies, and booked an all-inclusive to Fuerteventura, with all the works, and flights from my local airport. You even have to pay for the seats, your bags, and in-flight food these days! Hopefully, it'll be relaxing, rather than stressful :D :thumbsup:

That sounds great, Jack! It’s always nice to have something like that to look forward to. 🙂:thumbsup:

Absolutely lovely day today and probably the last warm day for us here, high of 79° F. I decided I would take the day off of work and fully enjoy it. I took Cassie down to the Mississippi River dog park and she and I both had a great time hiking and swimming, although I left the swimming to Cassie 👍



Hike down to the river from the top of the bluff

Down at the river, the buildings in the distance are part of the Historic Fort Snelling which sits at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers.

Cassie in the river, you can see how low the water is because of the drought.

Great post, Steve! Cassie’s a beautiful pup! 🙂

I guess I didn’t realize that you live around the Twin Cities. I’m in Mound, out by Lake Minnetonka (which of course empties into Minnehaha Creek, over Minnehaha Falls and into the Mississippi.)

If you like to be added to the Guardians Map, just let me know. :thumbsup:

Leon I can lose anything smaller than a one ton truck in a 10 ft radius.

btb01 btb01 thanks !

As you probably know the falls are bone dry .

It’s been a while since I’ve been down there, but I’m not surprised. I wonder if the falls have ever been completely dry going into winter?

Thanks, Jack. I’m happy to do it. 🙂:thumbsup:

We’re up to 76 members on the map, though looking at the list there are definitely some names I haven’t seen in quite a long time.

Another overcast and beautiful day here in Santa Cruz. The sun should pop through early this afternoon. Some of my plants are still kicking out flowers. I added zinnias this year. State Fair zinnias were my favorites. Here’s some dahlias.

Good man :) That's a shame, I hope everyone is doing OK :) :thumbsup:

By the way, there's some candy in the mail for the kids :) I'm hoping it evades the Minnesota Mail Mice! 🤨😉:thumbsup:

I'm not sure if they have ever been dry this late in the year.

Afternoon Guardians !

A dull day here today but with some welcome rain although not much. Probably not enough to get the falls going again.


The striped one today :)
