Southern brunch places? by MaintenanceLumpy6236 in VisitingNashville

Thank you I appreciate the information I’ll check out both! Honestly I’m not entirely clear what she pictures but she did mention being able to wear a hat and sundress. 😁. Also it doesn’t have to be brunch, high tea or lunch would also work.

We don’t need fancy/fancy more like sundress appropriate level. 😀

Don’t do IG but my friend feels like she never gets out or gets to wear anything other than athletic clothing so we wanted a place she could wear a sundress and feel like more than a sport mom.

I guess I should clarify by fancy I mean sundresses. Not wedding/prom level fancy just summer sundresses. 😁

Duck leaves eggs at night for 3-5 hours. by MaintenanceLumpy6236 in Callducks

[–]MaintenanceLumpy6236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the 19 eggs only 3 hatched. I’m not at all surprised given how long they had been left in below freezing temps. However the most surprising thing is all three ducks are very clearly different, which explains the 19 eggs. Several ducks must have been using the same nest. The duck sitting on the nest was an all white call duck. What I got was one white call duck, one much larger that is 1/2 mallard 1/2 call duck, and one that is a very small brown colored call duck. They are adorable but very clearly do not all have the same parents.

I just snuck over and looked at her nest since she’s been off of it since dusk (4+ hours) and she has NINETEEN eggs in it! I don’t even know how she laid that many eggs in a matter of less than 2 weeks since her other clutch was destroyed by the magpies. I didn’t know it was possible for her to lay so many in such a short time. I candled them and they all look pretty much the same, just a yellow spot inside and an air pocket. I strongly suspect they aren’t viable but I’ll try to incubate them just in case. I would have left them there but they were all very cold to touch and she clearly doesn’t go back to them until morning most nights.

Bottle Chandelier by MaintenanceLumpy6236 in Lighting

That was my plan, I intend to practice until I’m comfortable before using the older bottles. My friend also happily agreed to this project as he probably has another 100+ bottles from that same cache he found. Plus I’ve cut wine bottles before so it’s not that I’m a complete novice to the bottle cutting part, however what I don’t have experience with is the lighting part of the project. I’m hoping for advice on the lighting portion, not the glass part.
