MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Exactly. One of her teaching team will deal with the Q&A forum.

As is only appropriate. What else are they for if not to free up her time for more important things.

That was fun and a you chose a great photo for the puzzle! I don't really like the idea of a timer while doing a puzzle since I like puzzles to be relaxing and meditative, but I just ignored it!

I didn't even notice the timer until after I'd solved the puzzle

Next time, I'll see if there's an option to remove it.

What fun! It took me a while to figure out how to do it. Lovely.

I only noticed it at the end. I enjoyed that.

Glad you enjoyed it! It took me a while to find a jigsaw puzzle maker that made puzzles I could share and then I had to make an account first. The username MaryJanet was already taken (how rude!) so I went with IvyPeggy because sometimes my creativity doesn't function on Sundays

A wonderful idea! I will try today and report back- I have not done in puzzle in ages and I was never good at it .

How is everyone getting along now ? No relational issue with broody Eddie ? Is the lone marauder doing all right health-wise and with the others ?

Thanks for asking!

Janet is doing very well with her trimmed beak and rarely misses a bite. However she continues to plead for scrambled eggs at a table for one at breakfast time. Instead, I throw lettuce for everybody to share.

The lone marauder is pecking her way to the top and sometimes I intervene to keep her from overdoing it with the quieter, gentler hens. Or I go inside where I can't see or hear it.

Edie and Katie have been co-brooding an empty nest with a lot of determination since Friday, including sitting in the nest overnight. I remain unconcerned about their diet and disinclined to interfere until 3 weeks have passed. I saw both of them eating and bathing at different times today, and there are enormous poops being deposited. I assume they're drinking too.

Today Ivy said enough with these kids! And laid her egg in the nest box of the little coop. I hope Mary will follow her lead because it's a lot easier to collect eggs when there's no broody to negotiate terms with.

Strangely, both broody hens continue to lay 5-6 eggs a week. So much for broodies not laying although I'm sure they will stop very soon.

Mary's eye seems fine and she appears to be cheerful. Peggy is doing well too.

Mystery Teas are packaged and ready for dispatch!

I put in 2 teaspoons of the loose leafed teas, trusting you to know roughly how much you'll need in your pot.

And I went with ziplock bags to keep flavours and scents from mingling.
