    Tell me what you feed your geese in the winter...

    Lol, my Geese prefer if I walk them to the shed also. If I dont get them to bed before dark they seem to yell when they see the flashlight "help help its dark and we are scared" silly geese. They train us well. But my geese do understand "go to bed" it means run around while honking. :D

    @ turtleguy My feeder could have totally ended up way to big, but I lucked out. It was complete luck that it holds the 50 lb bag. Using scrap lumber you kind of just work with what you have.

    Yep Pacific time zone. Ughh It really sucks when the sunset is in the 3 o'clock hour. I find myself going to bed at 6:30 because it has already been dark for so many hours :rolleyes:

    yes chores seem to take forever when its this cold. We also usually get more snow than cold, but it seems that we are having a very early cold snap. I kind of wish that it would snow to at least insulate everything a little better. And prettier!!
