We’ve been watching this Turkey hen visit our yard and garden. We hoped that we’d get to see a flock of poults soon. She has her nest in the woods or field a few acres away.
Unfortunately, we discovered a broken wild turkey egg next to one of our day-lilies. Some critter stole it from the turkey nest and was so desperate to escape the flogging Mama that it kept running for many acres until it got to our yard to eat it.
We feel so sad for the turkey hen. She must be heartbroken to lose the precious egg. Bless her heart.
We’re hoping some of the other eggs survive, otherwise there may not be any poults after all.
The circle-of-life can be quite disheartening.
Our 13 year old Grandson loves playing minecraft. I noticed the blocks on the game are simple designs (and to my creative mind, begged to be made out of plastic canvas lol) I created simple basic patterns and am pleased with how well they look.
One of the stocking-stuffers that our Grandson got at Christmas was an alien egg. He had it sitting on a shelf and decided to it was time to try it out. It’s about the size of a regular plastic Easter egg. The directions are, submerge the egg in water and leave it. After a few days it cracks open and an alien hatches out.
Grandson hatched out a bunch of sponge fish from capsules.
Grandson had a wonderful time doing an experiment of Ivory soap puffing up like a cloud when it’s put in the microwave. It was so fun to watch.
Grandson got creative and made himself a toy gun out of cardboard and masking tape. He made it so it has removable attachments and also the the slider thingy moves too. I think it’s quite clever and imaginative.
We gave a big box of 1 ball squash to our Grandson’s Mother & Maternal-Grandmother.
