It says it is $20, but has a banner saying it's 20% off.
There are also several mug options, including travel mugs. It also looks like you can choose what the background color is.

also looks like he is working over a "hot plate/cook top/grill" , the chick probably had burns

:-(
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.

Yup! The vine is a volunteer from some luffas harvested TWO YEARS AGO  and left out in the rain (and therefore abandoned for scrubbers). This thing is growing out of a crack between two pavers, and has climbed the adjacent trees - I have luffa hanging 30 feet high! Talk about drought resistant, tough plants. (Resistant to vine borers, too). If you pick them early, they're a bit like zucchini (I have a number of Indian recipes for them). 

The only time this has ever happened for me was one night at 3am when Tank started crowing. The next morning I found that one of his hens who had gone on walkabout the previous day and didn't go to roost had been killed overnight by a fox - I think his crow was a warning/alert. I keep my yard dark at night - I suspect lights could cause problems for some. Agree with others' experience, re: removal/separation from another (dominant) cockerel can suddenly lead to crowing (in my case, LOTS AND LOTS of crowing, as if he was catching up for lost time - though thankfully only during the day). 

If your dogs were going nuts as well, I would default to the assumption of something real (dangerous or not) moving around or disturbing them at night before I culled the cockerel. But maybe that's just me.

OMG, I have finally arrived!!!! [COLOR=008000]I HAVE A COFFEE CUP FROM MC!!!!! [/COLOR]

(I love this mug - did you see it for sale somewhere? I NEED it!!!)




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.

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.

The itsy bitsy spider

Went up the water spout
Down came the rain

And washed the spider

out
Out came the sun

And dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider

Went up the spout again!
