The Old Folks Home

[Beer can]

@microchick
last yr, mid May we went down to Virginia beach. Leaving a restaurant was stopped by a elderly couple, seen us with our bunch of kids happens a lot, 'don't see that much anymore' yap yap yada yada. Good conversation they were actually from not far from us, moved south to be closer to family and leave our wonderful winter's. As they said good bye the old lady turned around and said 'by the way, we're picking zucchini and yellow squash out of our garden already' with a smile and wink.
She knew darn well we didn't have a garden in yet.
Lol.

We have flocks of robins. One was sitting in one of the fruit trees by the chicken run fussing at me tonight when I locked up. No red wing black birds yet though which is strange as they usually arrive the same time the robins show up.

I much prefer hot weather to cold and summers here can be brutally hot with or without humidity. The summer we put our electricity in the temps were hovering around 108 and it was bone dry. We were pulling wired in the attic and in the basement plus trenching for underground wiring. My thinking though is that it is a lot easier to get cool than it is to get warm and the cold just makes my joints hurt too bad to enjoy it.

@Beer can our favorite saying back in IL was Welcome to IL where we don't fix the roads or mow the weeds, we jut paid high taxes.

Still on chick watch. No external pips yet although things are moving around inside the eggs and I heard my first peep tonight.

Micro we are watching one zip now. Hope you get some soon.

From your mouth to God's ears, SGC! Congratulations on the zip!

I love the cat watching. We have to toss a plastic milk crate lined with wire over my incubator at night to keep the cats at bay.

That's the feral cat that we rescued last summer. He ended up being the world's most friendliest cat after we convinced him that we weren't trying to kill him.

Zip still hasn't progressed. I'll try and stay awake to 10. Haven't seen 10 in a long time

I have never seen any... but I leave out mess... so that they know they are welcome to show up and clean.

Oh those are native to our area. Sometimes it takes a few days though for them to show up.
