I found 2 different types of bushes that are called sparkle berry, one in the blue berry family, and one in the holly family. So, which is yours?

Hope niecey feels better soon, and that no one else gets it.

That's the one in the blueberry family. We don't have them around here, we're too far north.

Yep, they look like tiny blueberries too. The blossom ends look like blueberry to me.

The kid is better, no more vomitting. so far none of the rest of us have come down with it. We are keeping the other niece hostage for a few days to make sure it doesn't spread to moms. DD is still at the grands, so they can have it if they want it. We offered to come get her since she was exposed, but they declined, said they'd take the chance. So we are going to get her Saturday when we do the Christmas party thing.

We gave niece her present from us so she'd be occupied with a new toy. She LOVES it! She has been playing with it for an hour nonstop See, little girls DO love RC cars! I will make her a tomboy yet My big terrifying 90 pound bulldog is PETRIFIED She has decided to go to bed early

We have BUNNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had 5, but one passed. Poor wittle bun bun The other four seem to be very healthy though. There is one broken black, and the others are probably either going to be solid black, or otter like the mother. Right now they are greyish pink though so kinda difficult to tell They're so KYOOOOT!!

A weird thing that happened today though.....we got a duck egg in the coop I only have Muscovies, and they usually do NOT lay this time of year, but.....apparently one of them decided to give me an egg today, and I am positive it's a duck egg. It has that waxy coating and thick shell. Then I got 4 chicken eggs too The girls are picking back up!!

Congratulations.....on all of it!

 

[Wannabefree]

Thanks Duker I was very suprised at the duck egg...the bunnies i knew were coming, but the duck egg....uhhhh, not so much

 

[pinkfox]

yay baby bunnies
if i remember my rex rules correctly broken black to otter will give you broken black, black, otters and broken otters, so as they mature youll be looking at the undercoat lol

 

[Wannabefree]

Hey pinky! There are other colors hiding in their gentics. She had other colors for DD, but I can't remember what they were other than one solid black, and one that was broken tort? or something...can't remember. I think some of the funky genes are in the bucks line. I don't really care what color they are though, they're sweet gorgeous little things, and I love them already

ETA: You edited I guess those could be expected colors then. Maybe the one was a broken otter she had back last year i dunno...I'm not good with bunny genetics Thanks for the information, I'll check when they're older then

 

[pinkfox]

oooo nice, youll be in for all kinds of suprises then bunny genetics are fun but wacky

 

[Wannabefree]

I hope to get some different colors out of them I am about to go to bed for now though...been a loooooonnnnnggggg day!!!


Oh yeah, we did get the house sprayed today too No bugs are staying around here!
