Good morning, and thanks for the coffee.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

We ended up with freezing rain over snow. Shoveling will be such fun.

Same here. It's a mess. Perhaps a half inch of snow covered with ice. Difficult to deal with for sure. They missed it big on that prediction of 6 to 8" of snow.

I overslept Darn I went back to bed after I let the dogs out.

He wakes me before light I let daylight let birds out.

Good Morning

Having nice tall cup of tea now. We got tiny black ants inside the house and they bite me. Certain weather like dry/too much rain..etc.. cause the ants crawling everywhere. One year we got ant nests protrude out of the ground everywhere. We were busy trying to get rid of them, in the end we gave up, the weather changed and before we realised it, they were gone......if we did not have dogs we would not care about ants in our garden at all.

My family was telling me the other day about the amount of work, modification to our lives, the cost, the everything because of chickens...this is more incline to the complaint telling me than the positiveness of it. I do admit that my chickens cost time/effort/money/ruled my daily schedule and that I am not getting anymore chickens. I have too many ..just 4/5 will be enough as I don't need them for eggs. I would prefer to buy eggs if that stop them from reproductive ill health.

One of the 2026 things I want to do in my life is not add more chickens.

Have a wonderful day all and stay safe in the snow rain

Might try a cup of sugar away from the house will draw ants out.

We could get close to an INCH of rain tomorrow, which will have nowhere to go on the frozen ground, except to flow down to the lowest level.

Monday, temps crash to the 20s and we could have 50 mph winds.

I got some groceries today. The gas can is full (for the generator), and we have plenty of wood. So glad we have nowhere we have to go.
