Kelly, That will be fine for the little Isbar chick. I have one left to hatch but so far it is just moving around in the shell without pipping.

so I climb under the house craw all the way across to change a dryer hose. Of course it is longer than the only size I could find. 8 feet

Congrats on the Isbar egg, Deb!

I forgot to say, when answering the other Mary, that I am also gonna hatch some Kola eggs!

I pulled out the other Icelandic girl (broody mama) so I would not get her eggs. I want only Kola's.

Is Kola with "that California Blue Boy"?

Mary, I keep scrolling back to your three still life photos. They're fantastic. I can't pick a favorite because there is something about each composition I really like, equally as important as the other two.

For all the folks I admire on this thread, with your specialty breeding projects, emu wrangling, your bird showing, your COOKING, all y'all just impress the heck outa me!!

Whoo boy. Maybe I can figure out how to switch my new, Canon camera's language from Japanese , or possibly Korean, to English. That will give me a sense of accomplishment!

My kid is the kid in the red sweater with the red shoes.

Just playing catch up after spending 5 days in Tennessee. Loved the video. I was lucky if I was able to use a single rope without falling on my face.

Congrats Kelly! Reminds me to go to the basement and lock mine down. I finally got my Mardi Gras King Cake in the oven. I couldn't find a tiny plastic baby to put in the cake so I used a tiny plastic chicken and baby chick. I would probably be thrown out of Louisiana for that, but it is fine for northern CA! We don't have a party store close by for things like Mardi Gras babies!

Cake is done!




My cake got a little lopsided. I noticed most of the ones I have seen in photos do to. It is like rolling cinnamon rolls. The ones in the middle are always bigger! As soon as the cake cools I will glaze it and add the sanding sugar.

I am devoting the rest of my day to getting my first assignment done for my Food Photography class. It is due in two days! It involves shooting in natural light and that is hard to come by here with the wrap-around porch. May have to move it upstairs for the afternoon light.

Looks great Mary! As a resident of Louisiana, I'm giving you the

That was a fun video to watch. I am still deciding whether or not to read all the pages, get to know some of you fine folks... Tough decision.... Well any way, thanks for the welcome!
