Tomorrow in Genetics we will begin our fly count, discussion questions on Chapter 9 ... DNA and Chromosomes in our Ricki Lewis book. We have about five chapters remaining to finish our book. We will be doing our restriction analysis of DNA using electrophoresis later in the week.
In Selected Topics, we will be back to animal science, vertebrates, tomorrow.
Our computer programming class will begin their last set of Microsoft Visual BASIC problems tomorrow. We will end the semester with a student generated project.
Sue Neal and I had a good Thanksgiving. We had over 30 members of Sue's family over for Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of turkey and ham! In the afternoon, Jimmy Neal and his son Yancy with Hannah, Arlo and I took a long walk back of the goat field ... over a two mile trek to get rid of all we ate! Two of our children were in for Thanksgiving and it was great to see them!
On Saturday, I put the bottom boards and entrance reducers in our hives ... should have done it earlier. While outside, I saw four groups of sandhill cranes heading south. Occasionally, they would stop and circle in a thermal to gain elevation. They were really high and you could hear them long before you could see them. The picture (not really that good) below is with my Canon point and shoot ... maximum zoom ... we will see them on their return in mid-February.
I was able to harvest some turtlehead and lobelia seed after the freezing weather the last two weeks.
