I love the quail babies! Never had them but we did hatch out a nest of CA quail eggs when I was a kid. My dad was moving a compost pile with the tractor and destroyed the nest. 14 eggs and 12 hatched under a lightbulb, thanks to my mom. She had a knack for that kind of thing. Used damp paper towels on top to keep them from drying out. I got to man the spray bottle a couple of times.
They stayed around as they grew up... well, mom fed them! After a couple years the covy grew to over 80 birds. It was great! No pictures though. Only in my mind!

My neighbor said he discovered the secret to a good night's sleep. Take a sleeping pill and a laxative... and you'll sleep like a baby!

He always tells a good joke.

It was! I want to go to Carmel again! Kinda want to live there when I grow up...sadly we went there at night, so the bike shop was closed. Any fun places in Indiana? I have never been there before.

Who wouldn’t want to live in Carmel. ?

We went to Pt. Arena a couple of weeks ago.

It was nice to be out of the hot Sacramento Valley!

Pt arena?

How was the water at the beach, was it warm or cold? Last time I was at Galveston the water was really warm. It wasn't even refreshing.

It’s cold. It is the Pacific Ocean.

I do have a good enough CA quail picture, but I really like it and it took me a long time to take (it was cold and it took awhile for the quail to get closer). So I dont want anyone to steal it (I doubt that will happen, but still!) So, because I LOVE this photo (it was one of my first ). I will screenshot it and scribble all over it. Not the best quality anymore...but Here it is!

I can't remember why she finally tossed the whole thing. I'll have to ask her and we can take a stroll down memory lane.
I am not a baker. In fact, I don't eat flour any more (or any starchy carbs). I do miss bread, but I don't miss the extra 50lbs I was hauling around.

My daughter just made me a new bread. It is so good. No carbs high protein.
