Ah......the day after the storm - everything looks so clean and it is definately a little cooler. Front page of the local paper shows many large trees down from the storm we had last night. It was an impresive storm.
I am looking forward to my weekend at DW now - the temps are down - I feel much better AND we are staying for 2 nights in a motel - a mini vacation if you will. Ryan is excited about it - I wish we could take the dogs, but it would totally "freak them out" - they will be much happier at home. I will miss them sooooo much.
Betsy the finch was all "hunkered down" in the cage again last night and I thought there would be another egg this morning, but there are still just 3 and she is "right as rain" today. She was plucked out most of her feather on either side of her chest and they are "arranged" around the eggs - so she must be pretty intent on hatching these eggs. All three birds take turns on the nest now. I think Barbara has one egg in the nest and Betsy two. Barbara is larger and there is one large white egg in the nest and two smaller beige eggs that I think are Betsy's. IF these eggs hatch - that will be it for me. I'll just remove any more eggs that they lay. I DON'T want a cage FULL of finches but it would be nice to see at least one baby hatch and grow up.
Okay - have a wonderful day and peace to you!
