The 1st really nice day we've had in ages. The girls started going ballistic as soon as they got up this morning. They made such a racket I went out to check on them but they were just happy to see the sun & saying so! LOUDLY.

Absolutely beautiful! I would love to wake up to this too!

Hey, Rene! A day late and a dollar short

I did get a good picture of the (now) 2 babes she has. Another was half zipped and I could hear one cheeping in the shell. We'll see what she has when I get home!

She's looking a bit pale/anemic to me. Need to do a bug check She's out everyday dust bathing, though...

Oh my goodness...triple cuteness! She's probably ready to be off of the nest, but checking her would probably be a good idea!

Any plant that does not require soil to grow in. Staghorns & elkhorns, some orchids & Tillandsia, like old man's beard. I think a lot of them look like morbid growths but I like the stags & elks.​

Wow, those are amazing! I like stags & elks too, but I wouldn't mind having the others if I lived someplace where they would thrive!

Here's a different sort of sunset for you.

That's beautiful Bob! I need to get out to my yard and take a picture of our tulip tree, they are so pretty!

The only good thing about flights in and out of Montana. There's hardly anyone on the flights Of course, that means you basically can get a direct flight to any where.

Do you travel for work?

That would be nice! No, we just travel for pleasure...well, once we get to where we're going it's pleasurable!

Somebody is feeling better. Desdemona asserting her authority over Ceres.
She's still quite a sick bird as you can tell by the colour of her face & comb - but obviously feeling much better in herself.

I hope she gets over this soon, she does look quite pale!

My problem child.

Olivia thinks she should be allowed to be a house chicken & live inside with me.

She doesn't like having to run the gauntlet with the bigger chickens & was looking sad & alone this morning.​

I scooped her up & brought her round to join the Japs enjoying their outside time.
She perked right up & began chickening away like anything.
I don't want to bring her back in as she's not sick so the sooner these 2 can return outside the better! Just waiting on Desdemona's eyes healing up & they should be good to go.

Unfortunately this lot thought they should all be allowed in the front yard too!
The Vorwerks are trouble that way. They are incredibly curious & have no fear of the unkown.

I'm glad she perked up with the Japs, she looks happy with them!

Did you herd everyone back to where they belong & did they cooperate?

They completely throw social distancing out the window...which makes one wonder why they are still making people stay 6 feet apart in lines. A few times we've had a row to ourselves, but usually we're crammed right in there close and personal! None of it makes much sense. In one way Covid has made going through security a little easier, the only thing you have to take out of your carry-on are tablets or laptops...the flip side to that is the last person looking at the xray of the carry-ons took forever on each one...it was pretty ridiculous. The worst is having to wear the mask, but you just have to suck it up and think of our healthcare workers...thank-you Mrs By Bob and any others on the front lines...

Same thing on the boats. Pointless doing social distancing, masks etc if they squash us on the boats like sardines. They need to make up their minds.

Oh yes! That's the funny thing. Everybody knows they're not supposed to be out the front ~ for all sorts of reason like dogs & cars & not enough cover depending where they are~ so turn tail & head back where they belong as soon as they see me.

@LozzyR : was it you said you used Duolingo? How do you find it for speaking Gaelic? I am having no trouble with the exercises but doubt I could credibly speak a single word.

Yes, that was me. You can hear the pronunciations so that helps. It’s such a different language!
