Yeah, I didn't really like northern IA or WY so much. Those winters were pretty persistent. boulder and OK on the other hand, gave you a lot of nice sunny warming breaks in the winter. I think Boulder was nearly perfect, especially the spring, summer and fall, winter really wasn't bad, either, although those winds could drive you to insanity sometimes. Gale force winds for days on end occasionally. But, who could argue with summer days in the 80s-mid -90s?
OK had some pretty severe summers but they really do only last three months or less and the winters are very short. Our cattle could go most of the year grazing if we had a large enough pasture and it wasn't a terrible drought year. Usually, December and January were cold, then you started to get dogwoods blooming in Feb, it was spring. My favorite time of year there was fall and spring. Despite the tornadoes, I really love thunderstorms. Plus, all the baby animals being born, blossoms and in the fall, things change color and the fruit on the trees. Apples, pears, yummy.

I have both apple and pear trees (also plum, apricot and nectarine, but those are all new). Right now the pear tree is LOADED with ripe pears.

Pear sauce, pear almond tarts, pear butter, pear gorgonzola pizza...

I LOVE LATKAS!!! Tammy just made her first attempt at Latkas. I love my Tammy!

I'm sure they were delish!
 
Boston, GOOD JOB!

a few little vents towards the top and you will be good to go.

Of course they'll need a place to lay their eggs!

I'm sure Geoffrey is happy, along with the FBCMs and Icelandics!

Did you see where Geoffrey's son in San Diego brought $75 for a dozen of his hen's eggs recently?

Thanks Gallo! One more thing to worry about!

It seems that LLV is almost inevitable especially as I've had Cornish Crosses already.

I put up a post in that thread, we'll see if I get a response.
