lol haven't heard that in years.

At least I didn't finish it.

Good morning MC Liz Mike and anyone I can't see. Shalom Bennie. I can't wait for the sun to get up so I can go see the new kids. Then chores, a shed, and off to help my friend.
I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning! Take lots of pictures!

Hi Liz! 
Do you know if  on the mini contest cake/cupcake decorating does the design have to be a chicken or is any poultry ok?

I believe any poultry is fine

the only Lufah I have heard of is a loofah

I think there's about 10 different ways to spell it.

Bubbles for you

This what happens when daddy is not thinking. ......

Yup. And there we see why having too many drakes is not a good idea....

Good morning all

Morning!

There are so many of you who talked me through my duck incubation problem with 21 day eggs having the air cell of 7 days. I bought a humidity detector for the room they are in, it is 62%! I placed it in my incubator this morning and it's reading dead on what my incubator says as far as temp and humidity. The air cells have grown a small amount since I put the rice in. We are hanging out st 29-30% with the rice and no added moisture inside the incubator. We are 23 days now. They are weighing 58 grams. Lockdown is on Sunday. Hoping for the best! Thanks for all of your help and guidance in my first run of incubating. We shall see how it turns out soon!

A neat little trick to verify your hygrometer is to place it outside in the shade. Then check your zip code on Accuweather for the relative humidity. After 20 minutes or so, check your hygrometer to see how close it is.

@Sally Sunshine Ruby had twins!!!

Congratulations!

I knew about Viceroys as mimics, so I looked that up, and they're not Viceroys (no horizontal black line across the hind wing). But I didn't realize the Queens were mimics until this - now I know.

Thanks for that. I think there are 3 Monarch mimics but I don't think they are all around here.

I wonder what the guy who grabbed it did with it

Went from the frying pan into the fire.

I'm outta here; getting up early to terrorize some deer tomorrow

Good luck and have fun.

:-(
did land on the 'tortilla' or whatever it is...
I thought it would be a cool trick to play on dw, then I got thinking I couldn't even imagine putting a chick in a glued together egg...
No way.

Maybe one of those plastic easter eggs.

That's awesome! Wow, that's impressive! They are indeed drought tolerent, I have 5 which I haven't watered them since April and those vines are crazy big! Here we're in a pretty bad drought this year worst since 88 most people are saying and my lufahs have out grown my male kiwi (kiwis can grow about 6 inches a day)

This was a 70' kiwi trellis but now most of its covered in lufah.

I was going to plant lufah. Are they invasive in your climate?

I think our record heat may finally be over for the year.
In light of that =
Here's a song for you.
