EGGstravaganza!

David brought home a dozen and a half of assorted eggs. I decided to try to hatch them in the incubator that my mom let me borrow. So, we shall see.... Don't ask me what I'm planning to do with 4 turkeys, 3 ducks, a chicken, and a handful of geese! I'm sure that they won't all hatch, but it's worth a try :) . My mom hatched a few duck eggs a few months ago and ended up with one lonely duckling.
Also speaking of babies, I started a bunch of seeds in little containers last night. Flowers are so expensive to buy so I wanted to start my own. I planted some tomatoes, broccoli and things like that.
I'm really getting anxious to be outside. This blustery weather sure is depressing... brr!
I think it should be nice the next few days.
I have had a lot of feathered visitors at my bird feeders. Mostly yellow headed blackbirds, but even those are pretty to watch. William thinks that it's his DUTY to shoot them with the BB gun. Whatever. They don't bother me. I actually think that they know when he's getting ready to shoot them. They all seem to disappear. :)
