Fuhgeddaboudit!!!!
Just noticed that a couple of the eggs from Lilly's first clutch began to have that look, like the quiet before the storm! Several are contracting, almost as if they are inhaling, like right before they hatch!
Is this wishful thinking? Or is it like that old saying, "A watched pot NEVER Berls!" (Brooklyn accent inserted, of course, because the first 3,000 times I heard that saying was from my aunts and uncles on my father's side who are all from the heart of Crown Heights!!)
I know it's not 60 days yet (the 21st will make 2 months exactly) but I figured I would start an Egg Watch. I'm not superstitious (knock wood!) so I don't think I'm jinxing them.
In any event, this is what they looked like this morning:

That one on the end does look a little moldy but I've heard that hatchlings can come out of shells that are fungus-covered, so I really don't wanna chuck a potentially good baby!!
Note: Apologies for the quality of the picture. The iPhone camera takes pretty good pix but getting them here while on my Surface Pro 2 has been somewhat of a task and since I am NOT the SHARPEST tool in the shed, I decided I'd be better off just linking to one of my albums, hence the quality. I WILL figure out how to post them here from whatever device I am using ONE OF THESE DAYS, as contrary to popular belief, it REALLY doesn't take me an HOUR AND A HALF to watch 60 Minutes and I DIDN'T STARE at an orange juice box for 20 minutes because it said, "CONCENTRATE!" (I hate it when rumors start traveling!!!) :crazy01:
