somehow Al's gyrations gave me a visual reminder of the commercials of O.J. sprinting for the Hertz cars. Was there any leaping involved? ;)

Not really a good solution for Alaska's quest for firewood! :gig

I have a pretty good immune system, so doing well. Hubs, however, developed a nasty case of bronchitis and is on all sorts of meds to combat virus and bacteria. Sam, at least with FB or BYC you don't have to worry about anybody judging your housekeeping skills. (Or, in my case, lack...

Happy New Year's Eve to everybody! Went to California to visit my sister. Her daughter spread her own form of Christmas cheer in the form of a monster cold that we all caught. The drive back to NM was disgusting! Lots of snorting, coughing and bagfuls of wet tissues. Happy to be home with...

Gave my flock to a friend who had a lonely roo -- (the prime laying years are behind them, therefore not a big loss as they had gone into henopause for the winter) -- and have a batch of 2-month-old chicks I'm waiting on, so no eggs at present. The garden gave great goodies this year. Spent...

Hi there, Sam! We've had our first prolonged cold snap today. Garden is dead. Bet your greenhouses are brimming, eh?

Our monsoon season has officially started, but at 100 degrees and 5% humidity you'd be hard-pressed to find a cloud in the sky, let alone a gravid one.

LOL. I find that if I take the extra time to deep-water the yard it'll rain that afternoon.

My all-time favorite: Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: To see a man lay bricks.

Chick be stoned? Hoping for a stone fox girl chick?

Slow start to my day today. Ever have those days that you just can't seem to get out of first gear?

Unfortunately, Waltz's Ark Ranch doesn't sell hatching eggs. They've got a cool selection of chickens, though. Augsbergers even!

What I meant to say was that the size of the pores (shell porousness) is different on eggs laid at a lower altitude than at a higher one. Too, there is less oxygen in the air the higher up in elevation from sea level. And then if you have a color coating added to the surface of the shell (like...

deb -- Lovely work!

Beer Can -- Bummer! Was there enough air/oxygen in the incubator during lockdown? I've had "launch pad" failures with shipped Marans eggs and a few others. Low-altitude laid eggs not getting enough air through their pores when attempted to hatch at a higher altitude. The ones that did...

Sounds more like a time capsule!

deb -- A lot of us here in NM get their metal wires from riogrande.com square, round, half-round in all sorts of metals and diameters

It's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates!

The tree is full of happy bees, though. Bet they're glad to get some actual pollen in their diets.
