Cuteness. Candles my slikies today, lock down on Sat. I was candling this little one, and all of a sudden saw 5 toes smash up against the shell. lol..hurried to get the camera, and of course by the time I got the egg back up, it had relaxed and could only see the three. Thinking most of you that have hatched have seen this before. I love it when I can see the heart beating in the beginning of incubation.

We have some wood for an emergency. We do not have a fireplace, or a potbelly stove. But, if needed, we would have something to make fire with, and be able to cook.

The fire...would be outside don't ya know!

We actually do pretty well in an emergency - we can cook on the wood stove with our cast iron or at least for a bit on the propane grill and we also have a smoker.

In the winter we can melt snow for water (ice storms not as easy) and in the summer we get a lot of rain to collect.

I would miss running water the most, but I could live without electricity, the internet, lights really easy.

@Cynthia12 i still LOVE seeing the little heart and vein network in the beginning when everything is so super clear (in a white egg at least).

I have no idea why it doesn't thrill my kids.

I thought it was Shelob trying to free herself from an egg

actually... a picture of the entire 5 toes foot might have been a bit like a giant creepy spider.

X2 on the thrill of seeing little veins branching across the egg

OH wow!

Did it involve giant spiders hatching out of chicken eggs?
