The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

We have I think 5 different kinds. But thankfully none of them are deadly. That would be absolutely terrifying to me.

I'm not sure how many varieties we have, but your Colorado bark scorpion has migrated here. We should have closed the border. We had plenty already.

yah sorry forgot to include that. She is about 12 weeks old. Im 99% sure but is there anything else that looks like her that is not a plymouth.

Yes. But there are differences. Dominique chickens look like barred rocks but have pea combs. Cuckoo marans aren't as evenly barred and have pink skin, rather than yellow.

Took a day trip to Historic Smithville Village in South Jersey. Trip navigation system took us through the Pine Barrens and past a bunch of cranberry bogs. One bog was flooded and cranberries had been loosened for harvesting - neat! The Princess had no idea how cranberries were grown. Had a great lunch and some ice cream and she got to 'gather' - shopping to others - she gathers.

That sounds like a fun trip!
"gathering "! Is it still gathering if you do it online?

Yes? I think? Asking for a friend.

I've been bitten by a black widow on the finger. It was in my sink. I picked up some plates and it grabbed on. I thought it was a June bug at first, then I had a sharp pain that ran up my arm. I took the widow with me to the ER. Not a fun trip.
My mother had a big hole/indented place in her calf, where a brown recluse got her.
Of the two I'd rather be bitten by the black widow. At least you know immediately when one of those bite you, so you can get treatment right away.
I've known two people that died from untreated brown recluse bites. Both were young mothers. It was very sad.

We are talking about going to Texas as a family over Christmas vacation. I may have to change my mind I need to quit whining about Minnesota.

That's scary. We have both here.

That sounds like a fun day Sour! I've only seen the cranberry bogs on tv so seeing them "live" would be interesting.

Good morning everyone

Good morning Debby and all.

We got another 1.4” of rain last night. It sure would have been nice to get it in July and August when we needed it.
