Well I have been questioned about my blog and thought I should put something back up here. A lot of happenings are going on. I realize some of us get busy and distracted and in todays world it is acceptable. This time of the year is great people are breeding and preparing for spring shows and that is super. We are only doing a couple of shows and I am actually looking forward to the break. This yeah is my first year for my Dickies incubator to be running and its pretty neat. Getting over the hurdle of fearing I am going to just hatch and hatch so many I will be in trouble was tough! I am ok now I have self control! Haha. I have also decided I will be purchasing an additional hatcher versus using the hatcher in the bottom of the bator.
  I see so much is going on with the buying and selling of the birds. I realized when I got started 3 years ago it was very exciting but I look back and realize I always had intentions of being a show person. No doubt about it. I love the creative aspect of some of the new colors or in some cases some old colors that we considered less than perfect based on color! If people would spend more time working on colors instead of telling others what they would do or not do or to sell or not sell I feel like the other colored Silkies would have progressed at a faster pace. There is a lot to learn out there and I would hope that all intentions of the new varieties are for the better of the Silkie.
   I would like to go to the LA. show coming up but there is no way at this point. I hope everyone gets lots of pictures! I realize other Countries have more variety's of Silkies and that is because when we get off colors they are culled but others see the beauty in off colors and consider it a challenge to perfect it. I prefer the challenge method. For those working on AOV keep it up because there will be a time they will get accepted as a Variety.
   March 1st I lost my mother. It came from out of the blue and I had just spoke with her a couple of days before it happened. Its one of life's lessons in my brain. It took a little while to deal with it but when coming  out of stages of grief I realized many things and how things change in a blink of an eye. Life is to short to waste time on lala garbage and people rarely change their ways they just learn to dress it a little better. When you have the chance to really watch people in action after a death or trauma it gives you one hell of an insight of who they really are and I am grateful I do not have the ugly person on the inside of me like I have seen in many others. I can sleep well and relax easily because I have nothing to hide and dealing with my mothers death makes me realize how selfish and self motivated people can be and the other side o the spectrum you learn those you would never suspect have a heart! In all of this. I am also resting easy knowing my mother is as peace and not subjected to her in-laws with pretty ugly motives. It's ratcher sick actually that people feed on being miserable and making other miserable. You have to wonder what makes a person to feel the need to have such dominating control? Really it does not matter because those types of people end up in ugly lonely deaths so in the long run I can find peace in that as well.
   Well I have some studying to do and things to get handled today , the weather is ugly today and I should be able to work on some other things including more time with my birds.
