I am Still Here! And Computer Woes...Baby Chicks and Marecams..

I am still on my son's computer and so have no photos...makes me feel "naked"..haha!  I can't even change my header!!

I hope everyone out there has their pics backed up and any other information they want to save.  That was something I was preparing to do, when this struck...This is apparently a new virus and it changes your operating system and EVERYONE is getting it despite multiple and very good virus programs...

My sister has it now too and she does all her bill pay on line--what a nightmare...I do mine by phone, and actually bank, and US Postal service...I do have some accounts on line but I do not pay through the computer..am I outdated?  Not sure maybe...but I have heard of too many crashing computers to do that. 

My sister was frantic for a while ..it meant undoing some things and changing other things to a different format...word is the computer repair places around town are inundated with service calls and the waiting list is QUITE backed up...now how I wish I would have gotten that lap top when I wanted too..because NOW there are other things that have taken priority and the Lap Top goes down on the list once again...

My biggest worry is that they might not be able to save the pictures, and I have many that will not be able to be replaced (people pictures) ...............................................................

On the other hand...spring has sprung in the north east and it is beautiful and despite everyone complaining about how cold it is I think it is typical April and the flowering tress are right on schedule.  The past couple of years it was so hot the flowers lasted only a few days, and other years so cold they were frosted right off the trees..but this year it is beautiful...And really just starting..yeah a little late but that means the plants miss the last frost that ends spring so fast...

I have spring veg crops coming up and generally replant about 3 weeks after the first were planted (IF they are up and growing) to keep the spring veg going into early summer...

We are expecting a half dozen new Aracauna chicks next week...I LOVE LOVE the baby chicks..they are so funny..since there is only a few I am going to keep them in the back of the kitchen until they are feathered before I put them out..more fun for us anyway...

Today we are expected to get those severe storms that ran through the south and surely I hope all who's blogs I read from that part of the country are safe...

To while away the rainy day today, here is a foaling web cam.  This is a mini, who was rescued, and due to foal..they have bee waiting to see her foal for a few days now so any minute..all you mothers out there know how that goes!!  So if you have a few minutes to out the stall cam on, maybe you just might see her foal...remember she is a mini so the foal is going to be tiny...

Can't wait to get MY computer back and work on more pictures..we grabbed a PowerShot on sale, not my dream camera by any means but my sons are having fun with it..hope I get to use it!!

See you later..stay dry and safe (I kept my chickens inside today)
