Frostie and Streak's late-hatching baby, which is being fostered by Shelly and Blackie, is doing well, although it's still smaller than I'd like. Shelly and Blackie's own baby is doing fine as well. It's got white feathers starting to come in.
I'm not sure what we were hearing the other day when we thought we heard possible owl finch or shafttail finch babies, but we checked the nest boxes, and there were no eggs. Oh well. Maybe later on. :-)
Two of my societies are still incubating owl finch eggs. Last time I checked, at least one was viable. Hopefully it (or they) will be hatching soon. My diamond doves are also incubating two eggs. They freak out if they're disturbed, so I won't be able to candle them to see if they're viable. I'll just have to be patient! LOL! ;-)
We had fun on vacation! We snuck off to Dahlonga, GA and went "mining" at Consolidated Gold Mines. Lots of gems, including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, citrines, and LOTS more, and even a bit of gold. Then Hubby wanted to buy another lapidary machine so we can polish our own gemstones. Luckily the lapidary company in Chattanooga had one in stock, and we didn't have to order it (and wait and wait). We didn't get finished with the marble run project, but it's well under way. Hubby had to go back to work yesterday evening. It's been the longest night EVER. :-/ I sure do miss him.
