She's such a natural too. I believe she turned 6 months old last week. If her sister had gone broody 3 days sooner she'd have babies too. Oh well, next time!
Here they come to greet me
I made it as I went, the cups are...increased to 24, do 24blo sc, then several rows up until they're big enough. I then sewed them together and made a handle.
We are going to check the uh...electrical power level? At the garage and run wire if it's safe. A similar method was used to run it to the shed, but I believe they laid pvc pipe and ran the wire through that?

Twofer, absorbing the food through their feet

So the bagpipes are crowded in front of the window (which Fenix DID NOT LIKE) and the birds?
Three bagpipes not quite big enough for the rafter flight...

Everyone got cold water, frozen watermelon, and frozen corn. Navy was happily giving bits of melon to her babies.

An early Twofer on Megamind (small poof) and Brainiac (big poof) they might get different names in the future
The nagpipes hiding...
