Good news indeed, Penny! I go back to the doctor on Friday also to finish getting folded, spindled and otherwise mutilated back into one piece.

Cap you need something positive to look forward to and to keep your mind off of what is going on with your body. What better than new babies to come home to?

I'm waiting for the last two of the fantastic four to dry out so I can teach the oldest to eat and drink and move them over to their brooder.

The 5 Orscheln chicks are doing well and about 2/3rds feathered out now. Little monsters are running up to me and pecking my fingers. Looks like three cockerels and 2 pullets in that batch.

I did get my squash, pumpkins and a few tomato plants started yesterday while I was watching eggs pip.

I'm really anxious to see how those warty red squash seeds do that you sent me, Cap, along with the white pumpkins. They were selling the white pumpkins in town last fall I thought to myself that I'd pick one up the next time I was in town and when I went back they were all gone so I'm looking forward to growing my own.

@CapricornFarm. How do you start the clematis seeds? To you refrigerate them over for 3 months like they tell you to do on line?

I have not collected them before, but that seems logical. I am hesitant to start many more plants because idk how my health will be and hubby is not a plant person.

We just check our tread in the fall and as long as it still looks decent on the all weather tires we just leave it

A lot of people do the same here. I have to follow them, pass them sometimes. Think the roads are bad, no you just need new tires, 'still have good tread', yeah they're still legal but all seasons not snow tires and no tread...
Yup, switch tires twice a year. The snows will typically last four yrs so worth it. In the past I've bought extra rims so just had to change wheels, makes it easier.

Who from OFH is participating in the Easter HAL?

Have three dozen cooking.

My Grandpa said that a 4 wheel drive will just get you further and get you stuck deeper. He was talking about mud though.

Get stuck with two wheel can be pulled out with another truck, get stuck with four wheel and it'll take a tractor or a log skidder Lol.

Fluff ball overload! Those chicks are super, SGC. I love the first little chick. It' s probably all down but what a little doll baby. I also like the show girl.

Got my four over into the brooder and they are starting to eat.

I think I have empty incubator syndrome
