@joansmor I am hoping today turns the corner after such a HOT summer. I did feel a delta breeze when I stepped outside and it is suppose to be in the high 80's today. :)

@beryl I had never heard the term splooting before...until this summer. I would have said the squirrel was spread eagle...haha!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@gardenfolk - Hi , I had never hears the term splotting before , and yes " spread eagled" a well known term! - how new terms and words surprise us and how they differ from country to country and even within one country !!

[CC Folk]

@beryl It is a funny term!
