Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

Not getting a good night's sleep is rough! Once the quarantine lifts, will he be able to come home?

If he is able to do most everything for himself. I cannot take care of him. He is 6' 3" and weighs 250 pounds. I am only 5' 2". The night he fell I could not even budge him.

You must be really looking forward to Spring now.
Tribes are good thanks. Got chicks running around and it's back to spot the broody season....now I come to think of it that season is year long.
Everyone here is in full lockdown so the place is unusually well populated. Nobody has killed anyone yet so I guess life rolls on.

I think the whole world is in lockdown. Guess as long as no one has killed anyone, you're doing well over there

Hey Deb! How are you today?
Here's the rooster I did bumblefoot surgery on.

He is gorgeous! Glad he is doing better now!

Someone at one of the local nurseries we used to go to said it was from too much water. I don't know

I think that's true. I did deal with that a few years ago. They need fairly consistent water, and just the right amount. Finicky little things. Seriously it has been a different thing each year. First year, great tomatoes. Second year, blossom rot. Third year, white mold. Fourth year, anthracnose. That's why I'm on the warpath this year.

Definitely looking forward to spring here! Yes, many of us are in lockdown. We will leave the house tomorrow for a dr. appt. and then I know he'll stop at Home Depot. But, I read their plan for dealing with this virus and they are actually doing a good job. Employees are guaranteed pay if they stay home when sick, even allowing for more sick pay than their standard. I think that keeps employees honest and they wont come in sick. Now they can't control the customers, so there is still a risk. But so far as I know, we have only had one case in my county.

Sorry about the anemia Val, hope the docs can get it straightened out. The Master Gardener course would be fun! I checked it out when we lived in FL but we moved before I could participate.

Thanks. Last year they ran about 8 different tests and never figured this out. Eventually it was just blood transfusions and iron transfusions that brought me out of it. But, if they don't figure out why it's happening, we'll be going through it over and over again. I was in the hospital on the verge of a heart attack twice last year.

Sorry, don't mean to go on about my health issues. Just trying not to make it some mysterious thing I'm "sort of" talking about.

BTW, can't wait to see all the chicks! You are all so busy!!! After hatching Pippi, I realized incubating is not for me. It made me a nervous wreck. But, that little wet chick was the cutest thing I ever saw!!!

I would try adding lime for calcium. Or google blossom end rot.
