Spring is here – officially.

Look at this overloaded tree,

you can hardly see the branches.

I’ll leave you to admire nature.

Breathtaking, isn’t it?

Take your time and

soak it all in!

Our two monkeys,

Mr Flibble and Mr Nelson

are best friends since they met.

as you can see they are still hanging around

looking out for each other.

They make me smile.

Best friends make the good times better

and the hard times easier.

Good coffee is a pleasure

good friends are a treasure.

How fast time goes, another week gone

and I hope you smiled all the way!

My smile went bigger this week

when I saw my seeds growing finally.

I had collected seeds from different Palm trees and

Voila!

Hoping they grow big and strong for me

so I can put my hammock in between and relax….

Well in 15 years time perhaps…..hehe

Is it not wonderful to smile so much?

There is a picture on my computer (when it goes to sleep)

and it changes every second day or so.

There are amazing pictures of nature, famous sites, animals etc.

The picture this week made me smile.

I do love sloths and this one has

a sweet smile too.

Here are some interesting fun facts about sloths:

Sloths have a four-part stomach that very slowly digests the tough leaves they eat, it can sometimes take up to a month for them to digest a meal. Digesting this diet means a sloth has very little energy left to move around making it one of the slowest moving animals in the world.
Sloths can move along the ground at just 2 m (6.5 ft) per minute! In the trees they are slightly quicker at 3 m (10 ft) per minute.
Sloths can extend their tongues 10 to 12 inches out of their mouths.
The sloth has very long, sharp, and strong claws that they use to hold on to tree branches. The claws are also their only natural defense against predators.
Sloths usually only leave the tree they live in to go to the toilet once a week on the ground. This is when they are most vulnerable to being attacked by their main predators such as jaguars, the harpy eagle and snakes.
Two-toed sloths are nocturnal, being most active at night. While three-toed sloths are diurnal which means they are most active during the day.
It used to be thought sloths slept for 15 to 20 hours a day. However, its now believed they only sleep around 10 hours a day.
