Aww. Thanks!

Yep, Alpenrose is still there, and thriving. I had never been there before and got the tour from Tallyho a couple weeks ago. They host the little league World Series, and have some race tracks...mini bike maybe?? And they are reviving a bunch of things thanks to the multiple 4H groups meeting there now.

And yes, Oaks Park is alive and well. In fact we were just there about a month and a half ago for DH's company picnic.

Thank you. I've been in a real funk all night at work, finally starting to feel a bit better, but the yard won't be the same without her.

by the way, I've got lots of fertile EE hatching eggs, if someone is coming up to middle western Washington (I don't ship)

I'm getting 4 to 6 eggs a day from my six girls, and am eating the older eggs, keeping the current ones available if someone has a broody or an empty incubator

one BYCer has 5 chicks from the 10 eggs she got (two eggs broken early on, both developing, novice broody tipped the nest box); two eggs had fully developed chicks that didn't pip though one was peeping and rocking, and one chick was apparently stepped on and smothered when day-old)

second BYCer has 8 of 9 under her experienced broody, due Friday or Saturday; one bad egg ...

My kids grandparents are part of the Alpenrose "family" lol. Not the cads but close old time friends. I sent Tallyho a pm and waiting to hear back
