Al, we have been watching that phenomenon of the "weather splitting" for several years LOL. I think it's the humidity from lake st. claire...changes the air as it goes over, so the storms split just on the west side, and then miss your place and then miss our place too! and then the ones that DO hit us are usually quite intense with lightning and the whole bit!

thats exactly what i see as well Kathy. one day I decided to water the garden before the storm to see if it would help n it didnt LOL. I seen a tornado map of touchdowns since 1980? and it also correlated to that, knock on wood.

Allen is really intetested in weather and wants to be a weatherman and a storm chaser when he grows up so were always looking at weather maps n such, he was really happy to see that. he's always telling us the weather. when that tornado went through Goderich we were at camp hidding out in the bathrooms with everyone else prepared for a tornado, Allen was just a toddler so I think thats why hes obsessed with the weather. I was video taping n taking pics of it all. im sure i have some with funnels in it but we recieved hail the size of softballs, my truck has dents from it, that was a scary day. we also pay attention to the Ontario Tornado Watch fb group, glad its viewable to unregistered users. we always seem to be right on the edge of there predictions.

ok back to work LOL.

That turtles face looks like Shirley's on Sunday. Just saying.

Adorable Al! We have so many over here as well. Out on logs during the day soaking up the Suns warmth.

Well. I have noooo flipping idea! I saw a Tikka rifle at the show in the spring that I really liked. But I think I'll just browse, try some on for size and hopefully end up with one to begin with that feels like it fits. Of course I'm open to suggestions :)
Then figure out from there.

Candled these eggs tonight, with the help of Chicken Ninja. Still have 8 Isbar, 5 Maran and......drum roll please....3 Svart Hona (the other 3 were clear).
8 days to lock down. Will give an update then. Very excited and hoping for the best.
Everyone have a great evening!

Best of luck. I did not have any luck with my shipped eggs, between some suspected rough handling during shipping and a couple power outages during incubation. I ended up with only 1 Isbar that pipped, but would not fully zip and did not end up surviving in the end. No luck with my Svart Honas.
