LOL, morning Sam!

Spring is just arund the corner, the Carolina Wrens are looking for places to nest on our front porch. They choose the darnedest places- last year I had a bucket hanging from a post sideways, and they built a nest in it. The year before, they nested in a backpack I had hung outside to air out. Birdhouses everywhere, but nooooooo, we want some upscale digs!

Good morning everyone I got a nice surprise this morning, all the hens are back to laying finally, they were slackin off lately lol. I got a duck egg this morning too! They are finally laying again! And I have some flowers blooming in the garden, spring is on the way!

Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend, an hour ahead

Sheesh, Sam!  I read your PM this morning, came over here to check things out, and had to read 14 pages to catch up!  LOL!  Glad you invited me here, because it looks like a great mixture of old friends and new ones.  Good to see you're not the only old geezer here for to flirt with.    You're adorable and all, but sometimes a girl needs a little variety.  *batting my eyelashes at Slywoody*

Great to see all the Texans!!!!!  I was born in San Antonio, raised on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma, and moved to Dallas when I was 18.  Lived there all the way until four years ago, when I moved up here to marry a Yank (I'll be 40 in May-shhhhh!).  Southern guys are nice, but I had to move up here to find one without a skoal can imprint on his butt.  LOL!  I love it up here-love the four seasons, love it that there's water in the lakes, and the Summers are perfect (except for the skeeters).  Lilacs are over-rated, though, IMO.  I fell in love with them when I first moved here, but quickly became annoyed.  They're beautiful for a couple of weeks, and then they're like weeds.  One thing I do miss is Southern charm.  The men up here are nice enough, but I've had a hard time with the women.  I miss well-mannered, demure, soft-spoken, nurturing women who love make-up and gettin' all dolled up.  I think I've just been meeting the wrong women, though.  Either way, it's great to see some Texans on here.

As far as Spring, I haven't noticed anything popping up yet except for the multiple mounds of yak poop that are showing now that the snow is melting.  Yuck-our pastures look like a big, bumpy pile of poop.  I can't wait until it's dry enough to get out there with the quad and break it all up.  The creek is so full and running so fast that I can hear it all the way up from the house.  We're talking about building an elevated duck house down there so that we can move the ducks to the creek later on and have a safe place to lock them in at night.  Love my chickens, but I think the ducks would like a creek better than hanging out with the chickens.

Congrats! Please send some egg laying vibes my way. The horrendous amount of snow we have had up here has had the girls on vacation WAAAAAAAAy too long!
