Good evening folks,,,,

How are you doing Bob? How is Sue?

I beat you to it?

You usually beat me to it! That's a first for me!

Also here is a random chicken photo showcasing the (not so rare) native Australian Chicken that is sharing my hens' run.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm glad they are taking a break, in fact I hope Deana doesn't ever lay again, but I have been missing my yummy fresh eggs and the bought ones just aren't as good.

That is the hardest in the winters. Buying eggs with runny egg whites and pale yellow yolks.

This is Morrigu, my older Silver Campine.

She led me a merry dance round & round before I was able to coral her!

5 minutes later she was doing this while I stroked her...

Look at you taming the wild beast. While I am not surprised, it is still impressive. Such darlings.

Sue is critical but stable and I'm a basket case. But I do finally get to see her today. After the hour and a half drive to the hospital and the five hour wait, I wasn't able to see her, but her nurse did let me talk to her on the phone. No visitors in the ER!... This morning I'll go in and get tested for COVID and once the results are negative, I'll be able to see her. So far the tests don't show where the hemorrhage came from or why. Hopefully today's tests will be more revealing. Regardless, she'll be in ICU for at least two weeks. I want to just book a room there, but the animals need food and water... So I guess I'll be commuting. Haven't yet figured out how work plays into this....

That sounds hard Bob. No wonder you feel like a basket case.

Is there no one who could take care of the animals for you for a few days? You could make them a spreadsheet with instructions...

She is stable. That's good. This not being able to be with your loved ones in the hospital now, especially the ER, I understand but it is very hard. I hope the COVID test comes back negative for you quickly. Please be very careful and quarantine yourself from this point forward. You don't want to take anything to her.

We are praying for both of you. Both you and her are more important than work. I assume they will understand that.

Folks, I need prayers... Sue is in ICU at Vanderbilt... She had a major brain loss.

Oh Lord. Sending good thoughts for you both.

Stable is good. Work needs to take a back seat.
