Just finished my hot cup of coffee. Big pot of green tea brewing, - one cup consumed now, and one brought in a thermos for lunchtime.
I cannot wait to candle eggs Saturday night! We will go out to dinner with friends tonight, and Friday night is the only night I have a drink, so I don't want to take any chances candling. Thanks to Chestnutridge's photos, it looks like it will be pretty obvious which a good and bad, so I can finally pull the clears and quitters.
While we were building our house, we lived in " the shack", a one room building (now the chicken coop) with only one entrance. The cat would scratch at the door, and I would open it to find her sitting there right next to a skunk! I slammed the door and remained trapped in my own home for a while.
I've also had some close calls with skunks while running down the road in early morning darkness. Luckily, we don't have much traffic on our road, because now I run right down the center if it is dark, swerving crazily for every tiny patch of white that I see on the side (usually just a piece of trash)!
I am envisioning Pepe Le Pew chasing his "girlfriend" to your door (le pant, le pant) . . .
