Big thunderstorm with 70 mph winds.

Did you guys have some bad straight line winds or tornado action?

Just winds far as I know.

Here's a pic of 2 of the month-old birds. The mix I call Spright, and a Spitzhauben

The Sprights are a cross between silver laced Sebright, and silver spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben. I was wondering what their color pattern would be.You can't see its wings, but they have laced wing feathers and spangled bodies. The crests aim backwards instead of forward, or straight up. The Sprights are smaller than the Spitzes, being half bantam. But they are bigger than bantams. I think they will be a nice size.

That’s cool that the crests go up or back. It sounds like it won’t obscure their vision as much!

oh now you ‘done did’ it!...

according to the Ozark magic and folklore touching snake pajamas fetches up bad luck...

you hafta’ spit in some wood ash, mix that with a dropped chicken feather and bury it, feather and all, under a rock by the back door...

If you don’t get that task done within a week you’ll have a snake in the house before the blackberries are ripe... or so they say

that it a pretty sizable serpent, I bet it’ll eat a mouse or twelve, lol

Is that new clover? my bees were asking... apparently a few of them are looking for a place to spend a long weekend, lol

I haven't seen any snakes so far this spring.....at least none alive. Did find one dead one on the road. Which is probably why we have so many voles this year.

Adorable birds @SueT.
