I'm going fine. I'll be happy when it's done. You getting a lot of rain?

No rain to speak of only a slight sprinkle. How about you?
I started some Hibiscus seeds and they are up a couple of inches and wondering when I should transplant them. Have you grown them before?

Ah. It poured yesterday afternoon and most of last night, sprinkled till about 12 today.

I've never grown from seed but I'd think after they get two or three sets of true leaves or get to big for the tray/pot whichever comes first is probably a good time to transplant.

I moved her and gave her all the guinea eggs laid today. I still can't believe they lay in this water trough/converted nesting area....lol!
Now she's happy.

By misfortune. Samuel's mom prolapsed her uterus sometime in the night. :(

Nigel is a twin born yesterday...his mom likes the heifer calf better. But she's a fine, outstanding cow and the bull is :epamazing...so we're leaving him intact expecting him to be good enough to be a bull. His calvies will be gorgeous... hopefully with lovely markings. :love
:fl for marked females to keep as replacements. I get tired of the plain red calves. o_O Even though their Dad's the bomb too. :love I like the blacks and him over the red's female replacements....oh yes! They're not related bulls.
