Today's babies so far. Still a couple stragglers in the hatcher, taking their good old time lol. The bigger silkie in there is my little Premie that I helped hatch a few weeks ago

That is beautiful! Congratulations.

Good morning Abi... For once I'm awake enough to see my name on there

Heather still at your place?

I have a riding lawnmower, and it's so much nicer than the 15 year old hand mower that dies lots... Doesn't handle well, but it can tow a small dump trailer, so I can haul topsoil from the piles in the back acres up to my garden as needed.

X2. We have an old gravely 818-t with a big mower deck that we use to cut the grass now. We use that thing for EVERYTHING. Right now it's in the garage with the plow on it just waiting for the snow tomorrow but in the summer, the mower deck and dump trailer are on it constantly and in the fall, the lawn sweeper. I love that thing. We used to push mow with a lousy old mower (which is still out in the garage for the rare times we need it). It used to take me at least 3 hours to cut all the grass. Now it can be done in 45 minutes

We've not had a measurable snow accumulation yet this season, so naturally we're forecast to get hit with 6"-10" tomorrow evening which will most likely close schools Tue-Thur, at least.

They're saying 8-14" here :/ I'm so ready for spring.

I was wondering how you were holding up. Pick your ducks yet?

My daughter named them a couple months ago!

. Yes indeedy!

Brrr! I'm not made for this kind of cold.

Go straight up a few hundred more miles and hang a left.... It's even colder!!

This is plenty cold, thanks!

I grilled out supper and it was snowing sideways. Calling for 3"-6" with highs in the teens lows in the single digits.

That's insane! I have a new respect for cold!

That's nothin' mine goes from 6" to 2' in three days in summer.

I feel like I can watch it grow right before my eyes!

Welcome to Winter, Heather.
Hope you were planning to spend the week up here; it'll probably be that long before the region recovers.

I hear we drove right through your neck of the woods!

GOOD MONDAY MORNING, MY MANY MEMBERS!

Good Morning, beautiful! Your coffee smells delightful!

Good morning Abi... For once I'm awake enough to see my name on there

Heather still at your place?

Yes, she hasn't put me in the basement yet. I hear there are spiders...

HUGE ones. Run before it's too late!!

Or, at least grab a torch. It's dark down there.

No problem!

If I planted this grass, bet it would not be hard to find someone else to mow it down.

Edited due to texting while diving tractor.

'Cause the grass sharks would getcha

Oh just like snow snakes in the winter.
