    So Far So Good day 21

    These tiny Millie Fleur started to pip this morning as the coffee was brewing. It was a good show to see as we had our morning coffee. They were ready, as it took less than a half hour for them to get out. There are 11 more with one pipped so far. It's going to be a fun next couple days.
