Took some pictures of the spitz today. The two on the right are pullets. The three on the left are cockerels. It seems to me they were born at the end of April.

No kidding! CL, it's my turn to worry about YOU.
OMG!
Will you have enough fire power if one goes to your property and poses a threat?
Lots of animals are going hungry because of the freak weather pattern.
Somebody saw a big black bear go into my backyard creek 2 weeks ago in the middle of the afternoon...crossing a street!
That creek is only 100 feet from my ducks.
... and alls i have are some left over fire works. Small stuff.
Maybe i'll get a roman candle from the indian reservation the next time I head north.
I have an arsenal here that you would not believe..long guns, 300 H&H mags, 30.06, 30.30,
hand guns, of all sorts, shot guns, you just name it !
One of the reasons some one has to stay here & guard the place.
You think I am here guarding the chickens ????
NOPE>

My netting is also getting absolutely soaked with eggs. Several are hatching, but the little larva are so darn young and miniscule in size I can't tell heads or tails if they're moths, sawflies, or something else.
BTW welcome back!
LOVING the Tomatillos and Ground Cherries you sent me.
I'm getting lots of fruit and they're so good straight off the vine. The Yellow ones seriously are like crossing cherry, pineapple, and tomato.
PS - The big moth you got hit by was a Large Yellow Underwing. They're very common, huge, and do indeed bomb things. Right now is their season.
It was a light colored BLUR, very fast!
The eggs I have being laid on my netting is by medium sized whitish moths...same as last year.
I never scooped any & jarred to see what emerged, must be super tiny though, as the eggs are teensy.
OBTW- good to have you back too!!!!!!!!!
And you are so welcome.
I do have a Q for everyone:
What plant grows on 1 single upright stalk, has a crown/canopy of leaves shaped like peony leaves, solid green, and then flowers emerge, white small petals, yellow interior, and they point straight down ?
They emerge from my compost, as volunteers.
They are not weeds and do not grow anywhere here in WA.
Funny, flowers hang upside down, like lanterns from this canopy of leaves.
Very weird....

I'll look further ...

the only other thing I can think of is Shooting Star --- there is one variety native to Washington that I am aware of, it's all over the Evergreen gun range west of Littlerock ... but those are blue and yellow, not white

I'm no good at identifying plants from descriptions, do you have a minute to get a photo?
(tomorrow, obviously, not to go out with your 45 in one hand and a camera in the other!)

Flowers are size of a cherry blossom, didn't you see them when you were here ?
Centers are yellow, petals are white.
No trumpet shaped flowers here.
Very odd...I thought maybe okra ??
But I have never eaten okra so it would not be in my compost volunteering...right ???????????
