Well I don't feel so bad now @Mtn Margie , got out to the woods before the rain started in earnest, and only one bucket was full. The others were all on the hill and must have gotten too warm to really run.

Grackles are worse, they just kill the babies and leave them. Can't shoot them but boy I'd sure like to!

It was my understanding that since they are not native... you could kill them at will.

Grackles may not be historically native to Arizona, but they are native to North America.

I love seeing birds of prey; but of course then I worry about my chickens.

Thanks for the coffee @N F C
I've got a few brownies left, because (don't judge me), I ate almost the whole pan yesterday. *sigh* I can't seem to find the willpower to drop the sugar!

Freezing rain still being predicted for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday are looking miserable. So much for starting my coop build!

Same here!
I've got everything I need to get started, but the weather just isn't letting me. It's-2 right now. 12cm or more snow predicted for Monday.
Average temps for this time of year is around 15.

23&me is getting permission to release more results from the FDA all the time. They released one recently for breast cancer and prostate risk for those with Jewish ancestry

Why for Jewish ancestry?

 

[drumstick diva]

Is it for eastern Europe Jews?

I know someone who is of Japanese American descent. Her family has to be tested often because that descent seems to be having much higher incidences of diabetes.
