Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!
When we're young, we can't wait for the next one. When we're old, we're glad we got another one!
Thank you so much!! :hugs
Mornin' Janie. :hugs
We fight them here at home too. More so as there's a creek in our back yard where they breed, probably like in your pond too. We tried putting First Saturday Lime around our side of the creek in the marshy areas in the spring. It doesn't hurt frogs or anything else...
We got about 6" so far here and it's still coming down. 😢
I've been sick for over two weeks so I hope you do not get this! Hubby got it and has taken the last two days off from work. I'm finally feeling way better so coming to the home stretch I think! :)
Such a difference in "camping" environments and I didn't realize it!
Here's similar to one of our "remote" camping spots. One needs to practically bathe in mosquito spray to survive though.
She can keep her spring. I want that winter we had a couple of weeks ago back. We're under a severe weather advisory for snow and wind starting 1 AM Friday. :(
"They" always say we can successfully incubate and the variance can be 1 degree either way 99.5F. So if "they" are right, you were only off by one more degree. And if only for a couple of hours, I wouldn't think that tiny difference would permeate through the shell and to the chick for very...
I took an hour nap. I have to get this done so I'll be up a couple more hours. Then I'll let the chickens out but not shoveling so they can deal with it lol. I'll hit the hay then! Good night to you though if you're going!
Good morning, Debby. :frow
I'm sitting here working still, and watching it sleet, snow, and wind blowing, like a blizzard out there. We had 70F yesterday. 🌞
Today, 25F for a high. ❄️ Such crazy weather!
Good morning, Debby. I have not been to bed yet. I just took a break to come read something other than the court junk I'm typing. I meant to tell you I loved your fainting snowman avatar so much. Now your rain is pretty cool though!
I guess I best get back to finishing this work up so I...
Yes, at least we're not growing sunflowers up at the house. ☺️ All that black they're standing on is sunflower seed shells. We're going to plant hostas or something there. They like going under them in the summer.
Yes, see all those bird feeders? They have sunflower seeds in them and they come clean up. I keep water up here too for anyone venturing up...it's one of those electric ones.
That's just ferment in those dishes. That's all they get usually.
Looks similar here. We got back from the P.O. picking up hatching eggs to find out a few silkies, brave little souls, walked all the way from the coop to the house without us making a path for them. The rest stayed in the coop or the covered kennel next to it.
