Tomorrow's agenda:
Tomorrow is the Corrales Coffee Ladies Group. We're having snow now, so it'll be interesting to see how many show up as there's a bit of fair weather attendees. The local bistro/brewery opens up a couple hours early just to host us. Fun group of gals and a lot of chicken keepers, artists, gardeners and travelers, so there's always fun stuff to talk about. Albuquerque is in the Top 4 beer towns in America and it seems like you're more likely to find a local brewery than a convenience store on the corner. The Corrales Bistro/Brewery has really good food and most nights they have local talent (bands) on tap. Last time DH and I went it was a folk duo that, I swear, was like the SNL high school music teach duo and just as screechy.
After coffee it's off to the supermarket for stocking the fridge and larder. Probably hit Lowes, too, to get some lumber for building the chicken run (which won't happen tomorrow as the veggie yard has lots of snow).
Once home it's another indoor day. I was thinking of trying to create either some banana nut or biscochito (anise seed) scones. Of course, playing with the two indoor chicks -- Solo and Oops from the New Year's Day hatchalong -- and candling the 31 TJ eggs** as lockdown is on the 15th. Dinner is lamburgers.
(** Last time I incubated Trader Joe's fertile eggs I got maybe 2 out of a dozen. Seeing as how I wanted another pullet or two, I got 3 dozen eggs....you know, figuring the chicken math of perhaps 6 divided by sexing. Little did I know that Trader Joe's has greatly improved the quality of their eggs! Nearly all were VERY fertile, gorgeous air cells and wonderful white chalky shells.)
