Looks tasty.

Here's a pic of the latest newcomers here. Born just over a week ago.
The parents decided to nest under my back verandah, the noise has been
'wonderful'. Two more nests to hatch, which should be within a week
now: http://www.hostpic.org/images/1610020836470096.jpg

And what of your standard criticisms of other people's pics? You're
the worst *by far* on this group for criticising other people's pics.

I give up on waiting for the pics to load from tinypic. I've waited
for more than 4 minutes so far.

tinypic sucks. About 30% of the time I never see the photo. Once I do
see it I can never go back to it. postimage.org seems to be working
better.

Using Tinypic on my laptop with newer Firefox version takes forever to
load. It's major bloatware.

Tinypic seems to be one of the few sites these days that as they
upgrade, they also retained backward compatability. I still use ancient
Netscape 4.7 for newsgroups only. Why? Because it still works perfectly.

When I click on a Tinypic in this 4.7 browser, I don't get all the extra
crap that newer browsers have. All I see on my screen is the picture
only. Nothing else. I don't even see tags. It's plain, simple, and it
loads quickly and each time.

Postimage.org works good too but I have to use an upgraded browser for
that. It's not just a pic, they had to add the stupid 'enlarge slightly'
feature - bloatware.

Notice how the very last thing to load on the page is the pic itself?
You have to wait for all other (very bloated) crap to load first. Very
annoying.

Nice pic! Also old netscape opened this up right to the pic this time.
I must have been thinking of another pic hosting site that adds the
enlarge feature.

Any spring lambs on the way?

Possibly for your springtime, two of my ewes are looking rather
pregnant and I'm guessing they will lamb sometime in February.
Poor things only had lambs back around May/June... I need to separate
my ram from the girls. May or June is a bad time of year here for
lambs, too cold.

Lambs foal in winter. Thats how they are designed.

Interesting. Tell that to the farmers around here whose lambs are born
in spring. Also, tell that to my two pregnant ewes who are due in
February (middle of summer). Sheep can <ahem>, 'foal' any time of the
year.

More than anything else, it all depends on their food supply. My guys
have unlimited food year-round and is the reason why some of mine lamb
twice a year. Yes, they do have a natural breeding season if left to
their own devices, but even that varies wildly depending on breed.

This can be a case of old is better than new.
Your links have minimal bloat but they still do have some.

Tiny pic has a mess but only if you use a newer browser.
I use Netscape 4.7 browser for newsgroups only.
When I click on a tinypic link, I get the actual picture
and nothing else, not even a tag. It's the picture only.

That said, use any newer browser and you get all the crap added.

Yeah, but much better than most sites these days.

Does your computer still download the junk data anyway, even though
your browser doesn't display all that stuff (because it doesnt
understand it)? If it doesn't... that's great.

Big yawn right back to you.
Your flicker bloatware is the worst. Sadly, I rarely bother clicking on
your pics anymore. I always enjoyed seeing them but not worth the
trouble most times these days. You can stick to using what you want to
but don't expect everyone to run there and look. No pats on the shoulder
for your ego much anymore.

I haven't seen many deer this year which is odd. They're usually
wandering around out back. Cute little fawn.

Well hey, I'm not Steve and I'm not bashing it. It's simply a cut I

I hope for your sake, then, that Russian mulberry trees are longer-lived than
Russian olive trees...they only live about twenty years.

Doesn't the purple bird poop everywhere bother you? We had one regular
mulberry tree about a block away from me in this neighborhood, and my deck railing
seemed to always have fresh purple poop on it.

Olive trees are very long lived. If you mean the Russian olive shrubs
used for sheltering wildlife in hedgerows I planted some at my first
house some fifty years ago and they are still going strong.

The two mulberry trees will be planted more than 100' from my house.
Birds eat all sorts of wild berries here, I haven't noticed much
staining from bird poop plus it washes away quickly with teh first
good rain, and definitely the staining is totally gone after the
winter snow melt. Mulberry trees can live hundreds of years, I will
be long gone. In fact I will be heading out to plant those trees
now... looks like rain but I'll risk it, I don't like digging mud.

Shel, I am talking only of Russian olive trees, not shrubs. It appears they
may live longer than I was told, but based on my own residential urban
setting, I can say that of all the ones that were planted 40-50 years ago
in and around my neighborhood, none are still living. Maybe there was a
disease that wiped them out, I dunno. I just know the ones planted back
in the day by contractors disappeared about 20-30 years ago, and I seldom
see any new ones with new construction. I did read that they do best in
the western third of our state, so maybe their popularity here just died out.

I never expect to outlive the trees I plant... most of my trees will
outlive everyone's great great grand children and way beyond... I
planted two gingkos that will probably live more than 2,000 years.
Mulberry trees can easily live 300 years... and the thing is they
reproduce in place by runners so they can actually live forever.
Mostly I planted mulberry trees to attract birds as they produce
berries all summer. I would have preferred weeping mulberry but the
deer here would decimate them.

What are your minimum temperatures during winter there and do you get
frosts, just out of interest?

That is why I love my ginkgo....;-)) I always plant trees knowing
before hand how long they are expected to live, and I also check
on whether they are susceptible to bug or disease damage.

I know regular olive trees can live 500 years or more, but I just don't
know about Russian olives, I guess, since my informant apparently
was wrong. Maybe the ones that disappeared in my neighborhood
suffered from the fungus (canker) attack.

I saw on the NatGeo channel a Joshua Tree (in the park of the same
name) that they believe to be about 2,000 years old.
