Well we pretty much blew it yesterday when we didn't go with mom the ER in the ambulance to the hospital yesterday. We thought she was "faking it" to get a vacation from taking care of dad. When we called the hospital at noon they said she was stable and not to rush down. By the time we mosyed on down to the ER after stopping to buy chicken food we get to the ER to find out she had a massive stroke.  they didn't even tell her DR they told him she was having trouble slurring her her speach. not that she was STILL having a stroke and he had to order blood thinners. She tried to tell us that in the ER that they had done NOTHING and that she was dying and needed heparin. We of course told her she was not dying and she would be fine, before we knew what happened.She us alive and about to communicate with us. That is the best thing that her DR said was "miracleous" and that she might recover fully.

I got eggs from Jim last summer and sold them at an auction here.  Very little fuss and easy to care for....just don't have a winter set-up here for them.  I'll be getting some eggs this spring from Michelle.

Sad note for me...its been -20 s at night for a while with still more ahead...my 5 yr old buff orp Princess passed last night...Makes me feel like a horrible chicken keeper! The heaters went on and Ill be cooking up a huge pot of warm stew for them tonight before bed!

Im going to the feed store to pit 6-7 more bags of shavings in the pens for extra warmth!
