Cee and I met at Michael and Lucia's house this afternoon. Michael had called Cee to let us know Lucia had made her fresh peach cake and we were to come over to have some. She had used fresh whipped cream as her frosting and sliced peaches (very thinly sliced and in a nice heavy syrup that wasn't too sweet) on top. You could both see and taste the chopped peaches in the cake and it was heavenly. She truly is an amazing baker.
Of course, she is also a great cook. And I have to make apologies for thinking (for some unknown reason) that she was from Guatemala. She is from Nicaragua. There IS a big difference in the native population of the two states. I really wondered since Lucia does not look Guatemalan but I figured that she was from an upper class family and not the native Indian population. DUH! So sorry, Lucia. I will never make that mistake again. She really thought it was funny that I had that idea. She never got mad about it and I would never have been corrected except that Michael mentioned it in passing. I was just horrified.
Lucia sent home a piece of the cake for the Beast and the Princess, too. The Beast hated that he couldn't eat both pieces but I told him to go over to Lucia's and see if she had any left. I knew he wouldn't but only because it was dark outside, I think. LOL!
Other than that, nothing unusual happened except for one of the chicks flying out of the container. It was sitting on the lid that I had put across the feeders. When the Beast noticed and got up to go get it, it flew under the coffee table onto the bamboo weave that covers my bins. There's about a five inch clearance and the Beast had to move one of the chicks bins away so he could get his arm under the glass top of the coffee table to where the chick was. It flew onto the edge of it's bin and that, finally, allowed the Beast to put it down into the container. He also then made sure the lid covered over the top of the feeders. He had moved it when he cleaned the water feeder and never moved it back in place properly. I can see that the chicks are getting feathers on their backs now and they are all so much taller. They seem to have strange looking beaks and the color has gotten a much deeper orange. The beaks have definite hook on the end. It looks lethal...LOL.
At least they are sleeping now. They seem to be getting into a routine now. When it's lights out in the house (except for their heat lamps), they hunker down and go to sleep for most of the night. And that's what I am heading to do now.
Love you all. Be good. Be careful. Be kind. It costs you nothing and is good for your soul. Everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about and if you are kind to everyone you meet, it could make their day. And yours as well. ***Hugs***
