Totally off topic, but wanted to share. I have a 3 year old that is completely obsessed with the Statue of Liberty. I have no idea where he even came across knowing about the Statue, but he is determined to go there. I had a 3 hour running commentary pumping me for information on the Statue last light, I think he's trying to figure out if he can get there on his own. "The Statue of Liberty is in You Nordic City, it's far far away. How we get to You Nordic City?" We'd have to drive for days, buddy, or ride a plane. "Planes are at the airport. How we get to the airport? We drive there "But, where is the airport?" It's in Milwaukee. "But, how we get to Mwaukee?" We drive that way. *point east* "We must get out coats on and drive to Mwaukee so we can fly to You Nordic City and go up the circle stairs hiiiiiiiggghhhhh up his arm to the gold thing."

He's got his sights set. No stopping him. This has been going on for at least 6 months. LOL

Here is a painting from last fall, right after he turned 3. Not a bad likeness, I say.




Last night he painted it again, since I told him we couldn't go to "You Nordic City" now, but in the future we'll get him there.
Not bad for a 3 year old. I showed him how to blend dark blue with white to get varying shades of blue, so he had fun with that.
The red spots at the bottom are people (there were lots of red t-shirts on people in the picture he was looking at)
and the black areas are windows and doors so he can go inside and climb up into the statue.




He's my little painter. So darn cute.

Welcome, and good luck!

Well, life got really crazy, and I forgot to find eggs, and then I forgot to set eggs yesterday. So as of right now I have no eggs dues to hatch for Easter. I am going to scramble and try to get some to put in today.

Oh no, I hope you find some.

so I got my brinsea spot check yesterday and either I am doing something wrong or it is broken. I put the probe in the incubator for over an hour and it still reads "L" and no temperature is displayed. I even replaced the battery and it is the same.
AND I got a glass thermometer from them and popped it in all of my incubators for a couple hours, the Rcom20 right on the money, the oddly named "JN-48" is right where it should be and my brand new Rcom 50 is reading at 102f!! I lowered it to 36.0 c and the glass thermometer is reading just a hair under 100f but why would a fancy shmancny preset digital incubator be off like that. I spent the extra cash to NOT have to worry about temps ! oh well.

I got two of the Spotchecks last year, and one doesn't work anymore. So frustrating. Tried changing the battery & everything. Try leaving it in longer? The one I have that still works can be finicky and take a while to show a temp.

Howdy all! Had a blast dancing ^^ loving all the pictures! It's been raining here since yesterday at 10 am! Lots of flooding going on. I had the dickens of a time trying to walk all the dogs at the boarding kennel this morning! They didn't want to get their paws wet and instead preferred relieving themselves in their kennels. *sigh* Hope tonights shift is better!

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Boobie brought these babies back to life. Wish they couldve made it Hopefully this next mom is a better mum.

I have a friend who raises Angoras and Dutch Dwarfs. Sometimes the dwarf babies will be born a bit premie. She calls them "peanuts" because their legs are underdeveloped and they look like a peanut in the shell. She takes the peanuts from their Dwarf mom and puts them with one of the Angora moms who have all that warm fluff. She gets many of them to live that way.

I pulled out two eggs late last night that were bumping the motor in my incubator. I stuck them in the fridge and wrote "don't eat." This morning I find this from my husband who is still squeamish about eating ANY of our backyard eggs...

I decided to candle the two eggs, just to see how it works. My pics are pretty, but you can't tell anything after a day, can you? The yolk seemed to float around in that green egg.

That's my sons age. He's obsessed with elephants so I understand. How about a snow globe or small toy of the statue? Can set up or even make a small play dough model to help tide him over? Even a YouTube documentary? Or is that how this started?
