Sounds great, Richard - Thanks !! I'll look forward to it.

Also, for those who have flower beds or gardens to weed - try weeding during the phase of the Dark Moon (New Moon) or during waxing of the Dark Moon. You won't have to weed quite so soon next time.

The full moon is coming up soon right? I'm going to try digging a hole.

Look at all the pretty splash hens!

After spending all spring working to hatch blue girls, I end up falling in love with the one that's almost black. I know I'm not supposed to think she's pretty, but I do!! Just more evidence that I am not cut out for showing.

ETA: I love seeing Julie and Joy on here. I can't thank them enough for making these birds available to people like me. I can't imagine my place without them. They bring me joy every day.
