Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good Morning, Pond!
A nice cooler day here after a beautiful and most welcomed 1.25” of rain last night (accompanied by much thunder and lightning - my favorite way to get rain).

Taking it a little easier today after a busy day yesterday. We processed our 10 meaties, then canned 7 1/2 pints of green beans.

Not much else happening here on the prairie. Just wanted to stop in, say hi and wish you all a blessed day!

Good day Pond Partners.
I had some catching up to do.
@Alaskan and @drumstick diva congrats on good doc reports!
And Al, I would second Pyxis recommendation on the Nurture Right 360 if you can find one. I do have to set my temp a little higher, but it’s an awesome little machine, especially for the money. The view hatching can’t be beat either!

Now I gotta go read RoomieJr’s interview.

Look what I found this morning

Her interview was great! Well written, nice job!

The broody/baby pic was a total surprise. I thought they had another week! I just opened the box to check on the hens and heard peeping and found an empty shell.

Are there more eggs under her?

Soooooo

Remember how I had a colonoscopy?

The day after the colonoscopy I got a call, one of the nurses that had worked on me just tested positive for covid.

So... I got locked in my room... eldest 3 were kicked out of the house to live next door (eldest 2 were going to travel with me to Texas to help my mom clean her house, and then the wedding) and kid 3 is "at risk" or whatever. Youngest 2 stayed home to do chores, spouse moved into the TV room.

My room is part of the master suit, all by itself, up a flight of stairs. I tried to keep the bathroom fan on as much as possible, and windows open. Food was left at the top of the stairs... anyway... I think safe.

And......

Last night I started to get sick.

Kid 2 texted me from Texas this morning. When I told him I was getting sick, his response was

"What kind of whackedy-split bat guzzling antichrist of a german fairy tale did you enrage?"

Well.....

We have been pretty good at the entire quarantine...but still....

So youngest 2 and spouse are now also in full quarantine (but still not near my quarantine) and kid 3 will have money transferred into his account so that he can go shopping etc. for himself and never again come home.

(Even though we had kicked him out... since my quarantine is WAY far away from the kitchen, he had been allowed to return home, kitchen access only. He hadn't been allowed into the bedroom section of the house.)
