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

Hey everybody!
Hope all's well!

Driest February ever here - false spring and everything thinks it's time to bloom.

Son 1 had his semester in Korea cancelled the day he was due to fly out.

I set 40 eggs with my 5th graders today. They're excited but 21 days is an eternity to them.

I'm recovering from some sort of cold bug and poison oak. Fun.

Just about thought you had fallen off the face of the earth!!!

Excellent to hear from you again!

But.... sorry about the cold and poison oak

Has you son figured out what to do since he can't go back to Korea?

Good question. Since spring semesters in the US are well underway, he's looking at possibly going to Germany (their semester runs April-early August). I guess if you're studying international business, it's probably good to do it internationally.

Good morning Pond - @orrpeople good to see you back here.

Hello all. Good to see you Orr!

@Alaskan both of the d’Uccle eggs that I set have pipped!! Yesterday. Nice big cracks today, so they should pop out any time now. I’m anxious to see the color, since I’m not sure which hen laid them.
also have some other pips and call duck eggs due this weekend. First hatch of the year is always fun.
And I noticed the pigeon hen that hatched a pair on New Years Eve already has another pair she is on!

Orr! Orr! Orr! I've missed you!!! I'm sorry to hear about the other stuff, but excited for your 5th graders. We hatched chicks in my 1st grade class. It left a lifelong impression & I swear it was the catalyst for making me the crazy chicken lady I am today.

I sent this to Roomy, but I should post it here for @sourland

I dont know if I can move home now... I have to go up and see how much damage there is.

Rita who took in my horse went up a year later and got my horse trailer. She mentioned that my house was wide open. I figured they just shut the windows and locked the doors. The broken window I knew about it was in the kitchen between the kitchen and my bedroom.
That was two years ago.

Today when i went up to talk to her about bringing my horse trailer home to pack for the move. She looked alarmed and said you cant move up there. then she clearly detailed all the damage that had been done...

Windows broken out feces on the floor the furniture gone.... Broken entry door and side light broken sliding door to the greenhouse room.

I didnt have alot of furniture in the house a very nice leather and oak recliner. An Oak Ball and Claw table that I finished myself. And a sleigh bed in my art studio. I dont know how observant she is or was at the time. So I need to assess the damage myself. TWO FFREAKINGG years later.


Here I thought she was just making comment on my house keeping...

i am stunned.

If its as bad as she says it was its worse now. Water damage to the floors has them rotted out she says. Glass every where. Broken windows I only hope they left the Kitchen stove, the Potbelly stove, and the water heater. I am guessing the washing mashine and the Dryer are gone as well.

I probably wont be able to do anything but make it habitable.

I been crying all day... off and on.
