➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

@RUNuts Are you going to watch the firework show?

Nope.

They started at twilight in the neighborhood. Lots of American money and Chinese gunpowder. Must have new neighbors. They are hammering it. Remember, I'm NOT in the city limits. And neither are the neighbors.

I went to the duck kennel. Turned around and 2 dogs were saying "protect us". What are you doing in the duck kennel??? Got them out. Duck is fine. Pushed under the kennel to be protected. These are NOT gun dogs.

I have another rose that changes color also. It is a Campfire rose. It starts out as a yellow bud with red tips, opens into a yellow rose and then gradually turns more and more red as the day goes on.

Aw, my grandmother had one of these. She had quite a few roses but I remember that one more than most. I know she was into collecting special varieties and told me all about a lavender one she was quite proud of but it's right at the edge of my memory and the details are fuzzy.

Couldn't see the video last night....bet it was good.
I took the dogs to bed at 10:30pm with bombs bursting in air all around us as the country folks had their Fourth celebrations.

@R2elk Love the roses! Are any of them climbers?

Cleaned the brooders yesterday and moved growing chicks to the barn.
Will begin the sorting process this morning after I resolve some computer issues! Wifi is dropping my IPad as I'm trying to set up my hubby's Patient Portal with the heart hospital...been on the phone with the portal provider...new technology can be frustrating to this old woman!
Almost used all the battery on the iPad so having to recharge it.

Thank you. None of these are climbers. I have two climbers, one of which is the Henry Kelsey. Neither of my climbers are doing very well because they are too shaded and are in very poor soil (sand).

While I was mowing the weeds in the corral this morning, the doe came back and was watching me with her twin fawns. Unfortunately they were not very cooperative once I got the camera out.

@R2elk you look like you have a beautiful place!! MY family has been in NOLA for 300 years and I have been torn my whole life between staying here, where I feel I belong, and moving to the country, where I think I would rather be. I really should have been born 200 years ago when the family had both.

I was back after a couple years. You don't realize what you can go and do till you can't lol

I always thought I could live off the grid if I wanted to. Almost did when I was 45 years old. At 62 I know better, but still think about it sometimes.
