I will have a bunch of perennials this year, and I would love to trade. Most of my blues were new this year. But I have a lot of Cala Lilly, and Day lillies. I will have some nearly purple Bee Balm, plus what ever else needs to be divided. Of course some of it will depend on how much I can get done by myself. I should have some Forsythia bushes also.

I'd love to get in on a seed swap, too. I have marigold seeds coming out my ears. I also have a bunch of nasturtium seeds... I just need to find them. I don't remember where I set them after I gathered them. I still need to gather seed from my Gaillardia. Oh... if anyone wants Lamb's Ear, let me know now so I can pot them up. I'm going to attempt to get rid of them again - but, I don't think there is such a thing as getting rid of Lamb's Ear once you have it started.

I googled it and it's the 17th & 18th of November. I am so there!

This sounds fun. I might go.

I hope you guys can stand more chicken pics -

Your birds are beautiful! And Pearlie June is adorable. She's probably the luckiest Silkie I've ever seen... it looks like she can actually see. I've always wondered how Silkies can move around with running into stuff.

I'm trying to stay away from my incubator, but it's a losing battle. I've been checking it about every 30 minutes. Day 20 starts in the next hour, and I keep hoping to see pipping or hear something. I really want my eggs to hatch and be healthy!

I've only checked mine once today... so far I've been good about staying away. It helped that I was very busy outside.

And we love having you here!

Looks like it was a great party, and I hope your daughter enjoyed it. Between this picture and Renee talking about cupcake toppers, I now have a massive cupcake craving.

What's your favorite kind? Any allergies? I can make you some and bring them the next time we see you. I may not be a cook, but I used to teach cake decorating and cupcakes I'm pretty good at.

What show is in November? And Where?

The winter brisk show in chehalis? I think the first weekend in November. Is it Feather Fanciers? Someone has this information.

Oh! I want to go!

Yay! I hope a lot of us are going to be there! And as I said, I might just take a chance a show a silkie or two...

Just sharing some pictures that I took today.

Sara, love your pics! My birds just won't pose when I have a camera in my hands, they're too busy begging for treats! Seriously!

Good luck with your hatch! At day 20 you're in lock down so KEEP THOSE HANDS OFF the incubator. I know how hard that can be but your patience should pay off in baby chicks!

So... when I get to day 20 - what do I do if the water level drops? I'm having to fill 1/2 side of the cup every day or two. I know I'm supposed to fill both sides at lockdown - but isn't lockdown 3 days? Can I lift the incubator to keep the water level up? I'm using the Brinsea Mini Eco Advanced.
