MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

The flock is so quiet with both young ones on the nest.

Also I'm pleased to say there were no eggs at all today, so perhaps the wooden egg helped the broodies stop laying.

Reheating????

Don’t you remember my silliness from 18 months ago?

I can't remember whether it was here or on @ManueB's thread but I found the webcam app I was using.
Here is a link to the web version, but the app works well on my phone. During Covid shut down I would watch bald eagles, grizzly bears and zebra.

I also found this which is more of an index and seems a bit UK focused: https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/livestreams-wildlife

That was fun.

I need to spend more time choosing my favourites, but I've already seen brown bears catching salmon and a red squirrel!

I do remember. I suppose I hoped that in the meantime you had seen the error of your ways!

I love the various Alaska bear cams - some are better than others at different times.
Yesterday I saw a standoff between a mother with two babies and some other bear.
She stood upright and stared down the other adult. Quite impressive.
I also love the African ones at night as the sounds remind me of childhood.
Any of the eagles rearing their young is also very impressive.

Nope! My MIL got soundly ticked off a while ago because she emptied a half-full teapot under the guise of “tidying up” and “being helpful”.

Each to their own!
I just discovered that my closest tea-buddy here has been happily using one of those things that keep her mug warm. After a short intake of breath I have found it in my heart to overcome my tea-snobbery and forgive her.

Unfortunately, but as to be expected, yes. I think two boys and three girls out of the frizzles at this point, but its still a bit soon to be certain.
The one none frizzle looks like a little pullet. Haven't got a clue yet on the other three black copper x Sussex chicks in with them.
Trying not to get to attached, (so all the main ones you can see are the ones I think are girls) because honestly I don't think I can keep anymore cockerels.
Here's the little smooth girl; she was being a bit elusive!View attachment 3666188

The pullet is very pretty and daint, but I like the frizzle punk looks !

Oh MB, you are funny!

I'll make a 20 piece and a 50 piece from the same photo next weekend. That way everyone's got an option!

I succeeded!
I hadn't understood that the puzzle was smaller than the size of the frame . And that there was a possibility to see the whole picture while doing it.
It still took me some time.

I’m a tea ignoramus but I really don't like it reheated.
I don't mind as much the samovar thing - pour boiling water into cold very concentrate tea.
I also totally despise reheated coffee.
I think in both cases it brings out the bitterness.

Exactly - we will make a tea connoisseur of you yet!
I realize I don't really know how to use a samovar.

Good work! That was 48 pieces!
