My smallest Wellie - Bitty - is going BROODY :he . I thought she was just laying late yesterday, but had to check on her when she failed to go to roost with the flock. Not fun making her get out of that nest, but she did go out eat, drink and go to roost. But she is back in the nest this morning.

Geez, rarely go broody is one reason I picked this breed :barnie.

I got the taste spot on with the Steak Diane but the colour was not quite right; apparently ‘Mums’ had more of a greenish tinge than mine.

You probably didn't use meat so old that it was turning green ;)

And the other is Katie rocking her new hearing aids!

?? You forgot to mention this! Something that has been sneaking up on her? I think it is safe to assume she didn't lose hearing from not wearing protection when on the artillery firing line.

DD2's hearing loss is due to multiple inner ear infections. At the moment she has almost no hearing on the left side due to scar tissue. Supposed to get that fixed in May or June.

G’darvo Friends :hugs

Thank you for all the likes and pats on the back with my culinary creations ;)

Kelsey I got the taste spot on with the Steak Diane but the colour was not quite right; apparently ‘Mums’ had more of a greenish tinge than mine. The spring onions add a tinge of green and I think I might have used more of the white part and less of the green than she would have. I will test that theory next time. I told them to eat it with their eyes closed! LOL

That forecast was a tad dramatic but it was taken from one of our Storm Chasers’ FB page. ‘Recognised’ weather forecasters are agreeing with the prediction and this is the latest; we are in the ‘Pink’ zone:

Thank you for the “stay safe” best wishes and you stay safe also Ron.

Debby I hope I have not missed you; have an awesome time!

Blooie Hodge-podge all you like; we are just happy to have you. Get well soon :hugs

I managed to get the lawns edged and mowed and the weeds pulled or killed before any more rain. Not the best cut in the world because the lawn was still wet but it will do and will ensure that it is not even more overgrown after this next tropical low. Also, not sure when I will get chance again; might have to look in to a hover-mower :p

Just snapped a couple of quick pics on the ponds; I am really happy with how well they are doing and how clear the water is:

Someone last weekend went back and started greeting members from years ago...often they were zombie members that had not been on in years either!

I have to look closely at the dates now....
 
No worries, Bruce. She has had serious ear infections all her life, and has hyperacussis as part of her Austism. She's had ruptured ear drums a couple of other times, which usually heal up, she's had tubes, and she's got a lot of what the ENT called "calicification" in her ears. So despite loud noises hurting her, they decided to try the aids temporarily and if they help her be able to hear more clearly but give her the ability to moderate the sound, then they'll fit her for more permanent aids. That's why these look so big and clunky. She says that it felt like she was trying to hear with pillows over her ears but it's much better with the aids. I'm not sure how it all works....Jenny tried to explain it but between her convoluted explanation and my befuddled mind I decided to focus on drying Katie's tears and assuring her that the kids at school would get used to seeing her in them. Bless their hearts, they think it's awesome that Katie wears them....her best friend always reminds her to take them out before gym class and put them back in when class is over, so she's good with them now. They haven't decided if they are going to intervene surgically or wait. Her next appointment is on March 8th and we'll get more definitive answers then. If she needs to continue with the hearing aids they'll give her more updated, smaller ones.

Looks like some wicked storms moving in, both down by @Teila , and on the east coast of the US. You all button down and stay safe!! We're supposed to start seeing a little something tonight, and then more over the rest of the weekend. Ken is supposed to be taking a couple of candidates over the mountains to Sheridan for a meeting tomorrow, but they've decided to leave tonight instead of at 4 am Saturday and spend the night in Sheridan so they aren't trying to cross in darkness and snow.

@Jae, a new washing machine? I need to scroll back further on accounta I missed something somewhere!

I never got a broody when I wanted one, and had them when I didn't, @sunflour! And my first was Agatha, a 9 month old Easter Egger. Noooooo! She hatched out Scout. Feast or famine, right?
