It's a doeling

For those of you who pray I would covet your prayers for the meeting tomorrow morning at 8 with my boss. I need to speak calmly and not get angry or defensive, and trust the Lord whatever the outcome. If they won't see my side of it I at least need the job until I find another one.

So far, I've gotten nothing but boys. ^.^

I think I'm at 5 or 6 girls and 3 boys.

It got up to 83 today. Would have been great weather to work on my top bar hive and swarm box today, but no, I thought it was going to rain.

I'm months behind on this project for one reason or another and I have the feeling I'll be putting the hive away until next year at this rate. I want bees already!

In other news, I did a quick candle and it looks like my shipped eggs aren't a bust this time! I've only ever had luck hatching shipped quail eggs, but it looks like I managed to do everything right this time. Plus, the air cells weren't in too bad a shape when the eggs arrived/ didn't get stuck in a mail truck till they were delivered. One of them may be clear, but it's way too soon to tell.

ETA: I completely forgot about the HRIR I hatched several years back.

I want you to all meet "bubbles" Can anyone here figure out why I named her that?
