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

[room onthebroom]

Evening, Pond!
So... remember how I was whining about my kids not coming home last weekend? Well, one of them - teacher son - told me tonight that he’s showing symptoms. Chills, headache, body aches, sore throat. He tested today, but won’t know for a couple of days. So, I’m glad they didn’t come. It still stinks, but it’s best they didn’t. Now I can sit and worry about him, DIL and my two granddaughters until it passes through their house.

My mother went to ID for 2wks with my sisters family for a big family hoorah. There are multiple groups of people from multiple states staying at my nephews house. She told me that when she comes home she planned on jumping on a plane & coming here for thanksgiving. I had to tell her there was no way she was coming here after whooping it up there. I know she has wanderlust & has felt really oppressed this year only doing 2 trips, but that is just craziness.

I don’t know how Christmas will go. We have friends who come into town every year for Christmas brunch. They are a brother & sister team who I’ve known since the 2nd grade. I’m not even going to ask them if they’re coming or not. If they don’t, fine. If they do, I picked up a bunch of patio chairs on sale & I can serve brunch outside. I hope it won’t be raining.

We’ve already pulled the plug on Christmas. We were going to get together Dec. 13-14, but with son’s school blowing up with Covid, DIL having been exposed, and our county numbers rising, we’re rethinking it. One suggestion was for DH, son and his family and my folks to get together here, two sons and families get together where they live and open gifts “together” on Zoom. I’m not commenting on that.

I’ll have a blueZoom Christmas without you.
I’ll turn on Zoom when thinking about you.
Decorations of red,
on a green Christmas tree,
Won’t be the same,
Seeing it virtually...

How do you hug while 'zooming'? I hate Zoom !

Good morning, Pond. No lily pad for me. I'm hanging out under my bridge.

I hate Zoom, too. And I miss hugs. I’m hoping that once it passes through that household it will be safe to go visit them.

Do not thinks so the eggs where brown not marans looking no feathers on the legs either

Not all Marans have feathered legs; only the French strains, AND, the chocolate brown shells fade as the hens get older.

Have to wait and see .. 8 hatched only one marans egg other had a big crack down the side I did not notice I will actually candle the last two. The Son looks through them for me.
6 made it through the night
