Wednesday afternoon I got a glimpse of all six babies without the mama.

The chickadee’s eggs are really tiny. They measure 14.8 mm X 11.5 mm (about the size of a jelly bean). Since the mother sits tightly on the nest, I was never able to get a picture of the babies when they first started hatching. I found this picture of some on line.

The boss placed the following sign above the sink in the men’s room:

THINK!

The next day when he went to the men’s room, he saw that someone had posted a sign beside the soap dispenser:

THOAP!

Did you hear that NASA recently put a bunch of Holsteins into low earth orbit? They called it “the herd that was shot around the world.”
