Quail eggs

Thanks Tim, yup, that's a lot of grunting... 😆

Missed a day somewhere.
We're up to a dozen. 😀

All you need now is some bacon!

Just kidding. Can't wait to see your new family!

Paul

I already beat you to the bacon comment, Paul 😆 😆 😆

Any news here?
Tavi

Nope, she's still sitting on 'em.

And just yesterday, I dragged my recovering Chinese Fan Palm to a new spot on the patio, grouped with a couple of Sago Palms.
Watered them heavily as they'd been really dry under a roof.
Removing some "weeds" from the fan palm, I found yet another clutch of Quail eggs, now totally flooded with water. 👿

The place is becoming a zoo...deer all over the place at dusk, chipmunks driving the dog crazy, a Robin's nest in a shrub just beside the water tap (I almost had a heart attack! 😕 ), 8 hummingbirds zipping past the patio chairs, osprey and blue heron eating the goldfish in the pond... 😥 oh, and a marmot or gopher living in the barn, also driving the dog insane. 🙄 🙄

Barb

you'll have to charge admission to your zoo Barb! 😀

My outside goldfish had babies last year......many of the babies are alive but all 4 of the adults are gone......with no bodies.......I wonder what is eating them? Some of the offspring are brown in color.......I'm sure those will last the longest. 😉

Yup, Tim, it's sad when something's eating the goldfish, even though they've had babies.
Maybe a raccoon in your case?

Or neighbor's cat?

DRUMROLL, TA DA !!!!!

Whew!
Grandma Quail signing off.
This has been exhausting 😆 😆

Barb

Those are so cute! Maybe you should offer them water to drink instead of tar. 🙄 j/k

With all the rain we're having/had, they can just lick it off plant leaves.

Aaron, have you had these huge rainstorms too?
Weatherman said they're approaching BC from the southeast, and "curling around to the west".

Enough rain here.

We got a bit of rain, some but not a lot. I think about 1/8inch last night, it did rain in Boise today when I was there in the morning. Maybe it will hit us in a couple of days. 😀

Hey Barb

How about a picture tour of the grounds around your house 😀

Maybe it will hit us in a couple of days

Apparently weather off the Pacific is drying out, with considerable improvement on the way.
So the wet may be gone.
I'm looking forward to some warmer weather.
The weeds are sure growing 😡 😆

Waiting for the winter damage to grow out 😆
