Emu eggs

Emus and eggs

When I was working on Bailey Fish Adventure book 7 (Captain Calliope and the Great Goateenies) I visited with the Andersons at their farm where we get our wonderful brown eggs. They let me watch their pigs and goats and take pictures for the backmatter of the book. We've become friends and Brenda shares with me what else is going on at the farm, including emus and eggs that the female named Julie has laid. The eggs are green and quite heavy. The Andersons haven't decided if they will let one hatch or just keep them for display. Quite impressive.

Tons of snow

Bailey is very excited about the large snowfalls we've had during the past couple of weeks in Virginia. When she first moved here from Florida in the winter, there were only a few flurries. This year, she measured a total of more than three feet of snow, maybe four feet, since December's blizzard. And more is on the way. She asked Sugar to take pictures of her next to a pile in the driveway to send to her mother in Costa Rica. Bailey said that the snow is a great adventure. Sugar showed her how to make snow angels, and they made a large snow cat together.
