Morning all

Thanks for the coffee, moving kind of slow.

I made Blueberry Muffins, DS likes the tops and the Ladies liked the rest.
My Ladies NEVER complain when I cook for them!

I Turned over the dirt in the run and have added some grass clippings to make it more fun for the Ladies. The yard is looking better with a fresh cut lawn also. it always makes me think of a freshly vacuumed room. just nice and smells like fresh cut grass

Is that a lavender orp @tjo804 ? Beautiful girl.

Good morning everyone

So last night was my turn to keep the fire going. I set a timer on my phone for every 1.5 hours. The timer went off, but no audio. Alarm, with the same app went off as normal. So... The timer had been silently signalling for 5 hours. It's about 55f in here right now.

Hopefully you all start getting a break in the weather soon and you can get a good night's sleep. Getting up (or not getting up, lol) every 90 minutes has to wear on a person after a while.

That is a "Self Blue" Cochin. I love her she is very friendly and the largest Gal in my coop. However she is also bottom of the Pecking order. All My Cochin hens are. but very docile.

Here's a pic without my hand blocking her.

years ago we (I) was thinking about trying my hand at meat birds. They say Cochin are a great multi purpose bird so I ordered some different ones. She is my favorite! my rooster is the same color only he is a bantam. I will not be doing meat birds with this breed! so nice and BEAUTIFUL

I just came back from town. I-80 is closed for a good piece due to 80+ wind gusts.

Never thought a person could get tired of wind, but I'm there!

Some of those homesteaders on the prarie went nuts due to incessant wind and living in dugouts, constant dirt. Also during the depression, lots of wind blowing dirt into the homes drove people to desperation as well. Years of it. Ever read Grapes of Wrath?
