Jul. 20, 2007 - Nelly's gone WILD!

I just don't know what happened. I thought I raised her better than this.... If anyone has any suggestions on how I can fix this problem will you please let me know? I just wish I knew where she went wrong.

It all started when we she went and got a purple tattoo of a heart on her hip. Now her horns are all painted up like a harlot. PLEASE HELP! NELLY HAS GONE WILD!

May. 31, 2007 - Bird, Bird, Bird...Bird, Bird's the word.

We have been so busy lately! Spring IS here! I just wanted to share a few things that have been occupying us lately.

The first is a mother Robin that laid eggs in the backyard. She laid them low enough that we were able to watch the birds until the were gone.



There are also more birds in the house! As we speak there are baby chickens (from our own chickens) hatching in the incubator!!!! It is amazing!

Did you know it take HOURS for one chick to get out of it's shell? They started with a little crack in the shell.

Slowely it gets bigger.....

Then eventually you see a larger hole.....



The baby is finally almost out....

Then it just lays there....

Finally it can stand up....

It could be hours before they can walk. They are so shakey and stumble around.

Have you ever seen inside an egg after the chick comes out? The white and yoke are gone because they were just the cushion for the chick and it's food. The yoke is the food part which is why it is so high in protein. It has to feed a baby chicken for 21 days!



The interesting thing is that they seem to know they "need" another life to take care of them. When we put our hand in the chick will wobble over and lay on our hand. If a chick needs touching and love then how much more do our children need it? Have you given someone a hug today? When was the last time you held your child? Time goes tooooo fast, so go do it now. Don't be a chicken and go do it now!

Nov. 27, 2006 - Honeycomb-Psalms 19:10

     Since it is fall, it is time to harvest honey, from the beehives.
     I got on my gear and went in. The bees were a little protective of their Winter honey store and I got stung twice. They are not normally like that though.
     My favorite part is the honeycomb. Most people have never even had any. They are missing so much! I don't need chocolate, soda or coffee: just HONEYCOMB!
     This is a picture of one of the sections of comb.

     We have what looks like a box. Inside we put frames. Inside every frame is four small boxes like the one you saw above. All you have to do is pull the wood off the outside and you will have a square of honeycomb to eat! Some of you are probably wondering if you chew the wax up with the honey. The answer is yes! It is actually VERY good for you! I chew up a chunk, and then, after a minute, all I have left is a ball of wax. This ball of wax can be chewed like bubblegum.
     Now comes the important lesson from this blog. Do you know what the Bible says is sweeter than a honeycomb? Look in Psalms 19:10. You will have to look back and see what "are they" refers too. There are many verses that refer to honey and honeycomb as sweet as something but this one says sweeter than which tells me this must be really good!

Nov. 17, 2006 - Box Turtle

This cold weather sure makes me think about summer. One of the critters that stayed with us for a while was a box turtle.

We didn't keep it for a long time. Just long enough to watch it.

Here are some of the things we learned about Box Turtles-

  1. They fold up into their shells. They have hinges on the shell that enable them to close the shell around them. When they do this there is no way to reach the turtle. There are no holes all the way around the shell. It is very interesting. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it all closed up. They don't develop the hinges on the shells until they are about five years old.
  2. They know where they live. If you remove it from it's home you can cost it a ton of time, maybe years, off it's life because it will wander around looking for it's home. After we found this out my husband felt bad because he used to find them and then move them to a pond that was near his house. He thought they would be happier down there. He was wrong. I wonder how many turtles wandered around aimlessly looking for their old living areas.
  3. They live up to 80 years!!

This poor little guy might have been old. He had hinges so he was at least 5. Somewhere along his life's journey he lost a leg. It was able to heal over and now he has a stump.

This is of him getting ready to be let go.

Bye bye turtle....

I hope we see him again next summer....ahhh...summer...my favorite time of year.

Sep. 9, 2006 - Raising Crickets for Critters

It turns out that it is really easy to do this. I found this detailed, step by step website about how to do it.

I have ours in an old container with a piece of cheesecloth over the opening. I held the cheesecloth on with rubberbands. We used a plastic divided food tray to hold the water, food and dirt seperate. To keep it warm we put it on top of our computer monitor.


Feeding them is easy because they eat things like old produce and catfood. You could always buy the special feed at the petstore if you wanted. We caught ours wild in the yard but you can also buy them from the pet store. Savannah (9) was a cricket catching fool! Adah Mae (3) only caught a toad, now named Vitamaker (?), that I allowed her to keep.

Now I won't have to worry about running out of food and going to the petstore all Winter! How great is that? I will be saving money on feeding all these critters that I will describe below -

Kermit - tree frog We enjoy watching him in action.

Teeny- salamander. I regret to inform you that he died tonight before I finished this post & Jacob is taking it hard. This is a picture of him on my son's thumb. My heart was so broke for Jacob. He has never been one to cry over an animals death but this one got to him.
 

Tiny- another frog that is smaller than a penny! My son finds creatures of all kinds. I should have named him Noah.

Vitamaker- toad.

If we hadn't let the Box Turtle go

and if the Garter snakes hadn't gotten loose, in my house I might add. (No I never found them.) I would really be needing crickets!

By the way, who needs an elementary science book?
