Goodness of Today

We too often think of problems when we think of what happened today. I had a great day. The weather was beautiful. It was 50 degrees when I went outside to feed the breeders.

The Ducorps layed two eggs over the weekend...their first eggs, ever. She's not doing a great job of sitting on them but it's understandable since this is all new to her. I'm trying to stay away from the backyard. She comes out of the nest box every time I'm outside and stays away from the eggs far too long.

These eggs will most probably not hatch. It's just the nature of young pairs that it takes a couple of clutches to get it right. The good news is that they layed in the first place.

We are beginning to think about a Summer vacation. We usually take a break from the action in mid-Summer. Maybe a short cruise. New Orleans has four or five ships that home port here. We've worked hard this Spring and our daughter will be home for the Summer to handle the feeding chores.

Maybe the theatre in Toronto. We are boycotting NYC because of their smoking ban in bars and restaurants. Standing on principle may allow us to explore some exciting new locations until New York finds out and changes the law.

We'll talk more about this later...stay tuned...vacation suggestions are always welcome...Craig
