Georgia's reaction to the latest diaper is raising one foot higher and higher and then suddenly tumbling off the edge of the bed.

Now I can't get the image of me as a child carrying lot sand lots of cats in and out of the house...   

Sand?? NOW who's getting burned by autocorrect?

You make an excellent point...

(Oh, you made my brain go somewhere where it shouldn't have - I have all the ingredients to make either an extremely healthy drink, or a strong not-so-healthy adult beverage. The angel on one shoulder is arguing with the devil on the other. They're making quite a racket! ) 



Gosh, you certainly do have a lot to do - good luck with all your tasks!   

As for my chores... (I'll share, since it's quiet and I'm taking a break and warming up.) It temporarily got as high as 39F - I was feeling thankful to have a good hour-by-hour forecast to look at to plan my outside time (I use Dark Sky). I went out to clean and refill the waterers (breaking the ice for the hanging waterers - forgot about that) - I'm glad I have back up pans of water out, so the ice wasn't an issue, but it DID illustrate the "microclimates" I have in my yard, with some areas colder than others. Heck, in a couple of the garden beds, I have volunteer sweet potato sprouts (from ones I missed during the harvest) that didn't freeze (even though temp was 28F). I'm tempted to put max-min thermometers in each coop to nail this down, and also try it for parts of the garden. I scooped poop and then watered in the garden (the high winds had caused several of the collards and broccoli to wilt, and making sure they have enough water is a good way to protect from frost damage). 

Monkey's comb tips are purple again, as is the blade. The other boys in the same coop also have big combs, and not even a hint of purple. I think he could have poor circulation - in general or at least to the comb. I'll try to go out after bed time and put vaseline on his comb (forgot last night). 

OK, heading back out to give the chickens their soaked kitten food. (I am their favorite person in the world when they see me coming with those feed pans!)
