Good morning everyone! When I got up (before reading all your posts for an hour or so) there was no snow on the ground...I thought,"'yup, another false alarm!" But now it has been snowing and snowing and already there is about a half inch! Looks really fine and dry too...so that equals slippery! Be careful out there!
Sad to read about the deaths of your birds CC! I agree with the others though, it could just be old age. I lost a white hen last week too...no idea why. The same thing happened as yours; they just get lighter and lighter and huddle for a day and then "wake up dead." As FT's lecturer said....it is sad though for sure.
DrH--the one marked HO is from my partridge LF rooster "Hop-a-Long" and either a solid black hen or a black hen with red shoulders. I had a few hatch last year and they were gorgeous! Really BIG! The "B" egg is from my show bird pen...many interesting types in there! Can I ask you a favor? Could you PM the codes of the eggs that were clears? I have a few roos that I think are not doing their jobs! Good luck with the hatch! Cat wait to see what you end up with!
This time I WILL remember my painty pens for shirt signings! I was so disappointed when I washed my shirt and the sharpie washed right out! You know if I would've gotten sharpie on my good sweatshirt (or FT's pink one) it NEVER would have come out! Just seems to figure!
DD19 is going to Racine today to get water out of the Lake for the copepods at school. Her back has been out and I hope she doesnt hurt it worse pulling up the containers. She says it is easier when it is frozen cause then they make a hole in the ice and are at least on the same level...I dont feel too much better about that either! She says I worry too much...what's a Mother to do?
I have to update my browser too...my spellcheck doesnt work with this new site. I dont much care for the BYC one...
Did I mention that my brother sent me flowers for my birthday? He says it was his wife's idea...then DH brought me flowers too! Of course my dam^ cats spilled BOTH vases! It was like a swamp in here this morning! Why do cats have to spill flowers? And the more pertinent question...why do I always think that they wont?
You think I would learn....my floor is probably wondering what is up...getting mopped three times in a week? That is unheard of here! Well, I cant think of anything else I wanted to say...I guess I better get outside and let out the birdies. THey are going to be so surprised! Mine seem to enjoy the snow. Especially the ducks...those calls are so adorable--they pretend to be taking a bath in the snow...it is so funny to watch!
Have a fantastic day everyone! Stay safe and warm! Terri O
