The weather has been unbelievably gorgeous here for the Midwest. Close to 60. The ground isn't even frozen yet. Been putting my chickens in the garden and letting them destroy my deep leaf covered beds. I can't help it. They have quite the conversations in there comparing the treasures they dig...
It's going to be really cold here tonight! Light snow today off n on all day. Perfect day to work on christmas projects indoors. Locked the girls up tonight with a promise of warm oatmeal in the morning. @WthrLady - are you ready for our freezing night? I've seen -4 for me, not sure about you.
If you adopt a barn/ working feral kitty from a rescue etc they come fixed and where I live they tip their left ear. Here, it tells people it is a feral, but fixed. They usually come at a low cost, if any at all. If you don't have a barn or shed for shelter, an outdoor cat house is recommended...
You described them so well I can just picture them! Haha. They sound like quite the characters! You may not have to mail your Icelandic back, with the tracks you saw she may be dinner for something! I hope not, but it may happen.
It has been a rough start to cold and snow for us! Like whiplash! Beautiful weather then allll at once- awful. -4 degrees is the forecasted low Thursday. Gulp. My older gal who is in full molt will be spending couple days in the garage. Luckily, she doesn't mind and the others don't mind when...

I use chicken wire and lay it in my beds over the winter. It seems to deter our neighborhood kitty. I love that kitty because he brings me lots of dead mice!
Most of them except the really big ones can be grown on a cattle panel arch over the raised beds. Use an onion sack or some kind of sling once they get big, to hold them up.
No gardening today, but lots of chicken doings. My oldest hen Louise had diarrhea, treated her with safeguard for five days. It fixed it immediately. I did the follow up dose ten days later and it's like water. She also started a heavy molt. Since ten day dose and molt it's been a week with no...
Our Saviour is a just and Sovereign God who loves your husband even more than you do and wants him to be saved.
What a beautiful testimony this can be one day for your husband. I pray a strong, Christian man steps up and witnesses to him and he opens his heart to Jesus. Keep leaning into Jesus...
