Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! Last week I talked about our Lovey Chicken who had started letting us pet her and was close to laying her first egg. Guess what? On Saturday, Princess Mononoke laid her first egg! And she’s laid one every day since! She ran around the yard for hours Saturday morning, being noisy as hell because she didn’t know what was happening. The other hen, Ripley, ran into the coop and got the nest all ready, and then Mona went in there and did her thing while Rip cried for her outside. When Mona came back out there was a half-sized egg waiting for us in the coop! Yay Mononoke!
Ripley’s started squatting too, so I’m hoping she’ll start laying this weekend. She’s an “Easter Egg” chicken, so the eggs she lays should be green and blue! I can’t wait to see one in person 🙂
In other good news: I’m four scenes away from finishing The Fair Man! I’ve been sprinting every night with my CP Mike, which has given me the drive to write for basically three weeks straight. I’m starting to burn out, but I’m so close to the end, and in all the really good emotional parts, so I’m going to finish before I collapse in a tear-filled heap and then read a couple books. Last night I killed the bad guy, and I’ll be honest: it was brutal. I’m a little disturbed by my own writing. Who knew I had that in my head?
I missed Science Tuesday this week because I was waiting for the furniture store to deliver the correct bed to us (you may remember that they sold us the wrong bed at first), but that means we finally have a complete (and correct) bedroom set! It’s so comfy I almost couldn’t drag myself out of it this morning.
Next week’s Science Tuesday will have two weeks of science news, including the amazing probability of a new Ninth Planet (I vote we name her Artemis/Diana: she’s cold and distant). And this weekend I have another custom pony for you! Have a great weekend, Aledans!
That bed looks comfy!
You’ll have to take pics of the easter eggs so we can see the color. My one friend has chickens and I don’t think they are that kind, but on occasion there will be a green hued egg among the brown ones.
I’ll definitely take pics!
