Silence Is Not Golden Here

[Cyprus]

Look what I did today. 8 pints of Rainer cherries canned, plus a quart in the fridge. It would have been more, but half the flat was moldy.

Was the Milk Drinker asleep while this was happening?

For the part where I was pitting the cherries, yes. He woke up as I was going to my parents summer kitchen to can.

Chick needs a friend. A hatchery quality bird can always be rehomed later.

On a different note, I was just reading up on twins. I think the egg with two embryos would have had to fail - there was only one yolk, and it was a normal sized egg, but there were two very distinct embryos that had died simultaniously in development inside. Not attached to each other. Now I wish I'd taken some photos.

I have also wondered about twins. My research also concluded that they fail, but I would have loved to see some weird, gross photos!

I had a bit of a heart attack yesterday. I thought something might have happened to my white leghorn broody.

She's alright, she's just plucking and lining her nest with her feathers.

I have 5 babies hatching for her right now. 2 external pips, 3 internal.

Who spends $150 on a pair of jeans!??? People with style? I know nothing of style...
