Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

I also had no idea a skunk would kill chicks. How are you ever going to get the smell out of the coop? I've read that while it's not their strongest sense, chickens do have a sense of smell. Poor little things!! A dead coop mate and skunk aroma wafting through their coop.

Jim, hope the rest of your day went better. It's so frustrating when a computer eats your work.

And, @ShrekDawg, hope the heat has broken for you. It's a delightful 63 degrees here and I've opened the windows to let all the cool air in that I possibly can.

My sister had to get two bags of IV fluids to treat her heat exhaustion, which also triggered a migraine (hers are so severe she's sometimes hospitalized). She said she's never been more sick in her entire life and was actually bargaining with God, promising to make up for any wrongdoing she's ever committed if she could just survive. Hmm, guess she must now live an exemplary life!

Yesterday was marked by weird weather. First, it would be drizzly, then there were sprinkles, followed by a torrential downpour, followed by bright sunshine and steaminess. Then, the whole cycle repeated several times. Forecast calls for no rain today or tomorrow; maybe I can knock down the jungle that sprouted up while I was away.

It has thank you!!! It’s been like 68 today and yesterday

we had a thunderstorm while we were eating supper.
had the door open the whole time. Annie had grilled some meat and it set off the dinner bell.
on wednesday, i planted 12 , 16ft rows of corn.
got finished about 15 minutes before the rain started. on thursday it rained on and off all day
the seed is old, so i don't know if it will even sprout
if it doesn't. i will spread buckwheat all over the patch and wait until next year.
the peas are blossoming.
i dosed the tomatoes with a drink of fish emulsion
why does it take forever to fill a 2 gal sprinkling can, and takes only a few seconds to empty it ?
barb, now is the time to take advantage of carolyn's promise to God .
i learned a long time ago that skunks will kill poultry. I had 5 geese sitting on eggs. the skunks moved in and killed 3 of them. i eliminated a couple of skunks after that.
65F yet this morning. cloudy.
