always cool to see them!!!!!!!! taste pretty good to.  but boy did they change the laws on how you can harvest them. 

First snapper yesterday. It was looking for Leech!     Was that Leech?

Baked taters  grilled pork chops and Califlower  . Had better Califlower though. 

Sunset last night on Burntside lake.    

Just don’t know where else to put this ray of hope.

We get eggs from locals who have chickens.  The difference in shelf life between washed and unwashed eggs was weird the first time I heard it.  Months for unwashed; maybe a month for washed.   Farm fresh is a fair amount different than from the grocery store.  Bigger yolks and thinner shells are two of the more noticeable differences.  I had my first red yolk eggs a few weeks ago.  Kinda freaked me out but it’s no big deal really.

Nature is pretty rad.    I think it's cool the eggs can just sit there for some time.  Especially because it can get quite cold.   There are sometimes a dud or two and I first thought it might be because they froze before mom incubated them but they always kick off.  When I have done post mortem examinations of the duds they always have almost completely developed ducklings inside.  I've never found one that was just some yolk.

No mosquitos yet, plenty of flies the last couple of days and here is my first spider outside of the house!    

I’ve never studied it but I’m pretty sure she has to be full time incubating before they all start.

I have a bunch of people telling me to install a camera in the box and set up a webcast.  I know my parents would love it.  Especially my dad, who built the house.     If I ever get around to it, I'll post a link.
