I am so so sorry everyone. This is the first time I have been at my desk since this morning, so will not be able to update the pets today, as the day is almost over.

There are simply not enough hours in the day, increasingly so. Today I spent hours driving, and we have new birds as a result, I will wait until I get pictures of them to tell you about them, but they are a different species, and will be quarantining separate from everyone else in the aviary space we have set upon the basement here.

It was a stunningly beautiful drive, through Vermont and upstate New York, I took a ton of pictures as I drove - through tiny towns and empty roads, so more than once I made sure there were no other cars around and just stopped in the middle of the road to take a photo! I felt bad for not updating the websites though.
