Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it.
You have some good points.
I could try to be outside more. It's starting to get cold here so I don't like being outside all that much, but I could try to spend a little more time outside.
I've found that spending time with my ducks helps me feel better. I try to spend a lot of time with them everyday.
Also, listening to encouraging music is really comforting and helps me a lot. I listen to quite a lot of music.

A big thanks to everyone on BYC, y'all have been very supportive and willing to listen.

I will get through this. God will help me.

Morning Elly!
Music is a fantastic way to keep your spirits high. I listen to 8-10 hours of music daily.

I hope you feeling better, and that your day goes well.

Trim has replied with wise and caring words, and there is little I can add, but I do want to say that I value you, Elly, because I know that depression can make that hard to spot. Your beautiful photos of your birds often make my day. Your enthusiasm for other people's flocks is heart-warming, and your faith is precious. You are one of the people whose posts I look out for, because you bring something special to the BYC community.

Congrats Chris, all the way around. Do crows have access to where your birds are? They've been known to steal eggs.

Actually, we have had more crows than normal, and yes they would have access. The eggs where found in the shack, and I leave the door open all day for the birds to go in/out. Offhand, would you have any suggestions how I could take care of that, if it is indeed the problem?

Oh darn, that's NOT good!

So sorry about your germ factory, Trim.
That stinks.

Yuck any one you know!

Chris, sorry for laughing and I sincerely hope it was your little one. Reminds me of my first day, at my first real base, going in to report to the commander and 5 seconds before I walk out the door DS yacked down the back of my dress blues. Of course @Grammy60 has lots of experience similar to yours, but none are our kids

Lol, well yuk yuk yuk it was. It was thankful my own son though. I was trying to make him laugh, and **aa'choo* right when I opened my mouth.

Good morning folks

Chris, I have no idea how to deal with crow thievery, other than trying to get to the eggs first. On a more positive note, they do a pretty good job of keeping the hawks away, so the occasional egg for their services isn't a bad price to pay.

Thanks Trim, I hope your day goes well as well.

I listen to music most all day, and in the night too. I love listening to music. It is really uplifting.
