om'gawd, om'gawd, om'gawd

I have slut birds! Tess moved out of the nest about five days ago, and today she was *consorting* with BabyBoy (hell, he was treading her!) A few days ago, I found Babe, gettin' it on with her son, BabyBoy, and she's added three eggs to the clutch that Alex has been sitting on all day every day for weeks now.

Sinbad is doing very well, keeping his four babies fed, and doesn't miss Tess a bit. I'm wondering where she plans to lay that egg.

My Man person is out getting wood, I should post a pic of what he's got already, that hasn't been put in the cellar. Ya, I'll do that. This is the first year he's been able to get his wood before fall, and he's lovin' it, can pick and choose whether or not he wants to handle that stuff depending on the temperature.

Shane has called and talked to his love, Ashley, and his Mom, a couple times. They actually don't know when they're leaving. Deep dark military secret. Next time Ash and Andrew come down, I'll get some pics to post.
