Congrats on the huge egg, is Stormy one of your young gals?

Yes! She was one of the chicks I got last June. Another one of them is laying, and the third one is looking at the nesting box with some interest now.

So a new mower is in DH's future next spring. Any recommendations? We have some uneven ground, lots of hills.

How about one or two of these cuties?

How pretty! Are they taking care of your lawn @LaFleche?

I would love them to, but sadly they would not thrive on our pasture. It is an old Swiss heritage breed stemming back from the 15th century.

I haven't decorated our homes for any season for 9 years because of always living in a construction site.
When DH got the cancer diagnosis this January, I promised myself this year I would decorate for us. I bought the tree in January.
I've never had an artificial tree before but this one looked nice. I can't stand cutting a real tree down anymore just to use as decoration for several weeks.
We turned on Christmas music and listened to that while I set up the tree and put decorations around the house.

Was a bit of a chicken rodeo this evening, they don't like the new bedding-hot coals from hell, had to rustle 2 into the coop and most the others were all upset.

Nothing like fresh bedding to throw them into a tizzy.

It would be funnier if it wasn't so frustrating, SMH.
I used to sift out some old bedding to partially camouflage the new stuff,
worked pretty good, but I got lazy with that this time plus it was so broken down weren't many larger pieces to capture.
Also got the BOSS jar a shaking right off the bat, that got a few of the braver(greedier) ones in and foraging....then didn't go out and watch until almost dark and had to chase/lure the 2 chicken chickens in.

Truth be told, she'd be terrified if the intruder came after her!

Maybe but the intruder would be running soon as they heard her barking.

So a new mower is in DH's future next spring.

I bet he'll "need" a high end zero turn

Beautiful tree, DL.
