Ever feel lonely when you dont have any PM's waiting for you?

Oh yeah some pictures would be nice. I have been thinking about putting a light in the coop but like you want to make sure it is not on all night but only a couple hours. We are in the dark around 5:30pm here. If i could keep the light on for them until around 10pm that would be ideal. I am hoping that with california weather my girls will lay for me this month.

Good Morning! It is very cold here, but looks like the sun is going to shine today.

It doesn't take long here to look at Christmas lights, but Destiny and I drug it out for as long as we could. Jimmie drove and Thunder got to ride along too! He got hot and daddy was feeding him choc. covered crackers with peanut butter, so when the car stopped, he dragged me out of the car, straight through the garage, didn't stop outside to potty, to the front door and a beeline to the water bowl!

I think he did have a good time though.

NY thank you for the recipes. I will copy them down and I may even buy some tomatoes so I don't have to wait until next year to try it!

Michelle I am jealous, I havent gotten to drive around and look at lights yet

How is everyones weather this morning? We still have 9 below but it is suppose to warm up the next few days. We got a little more snow. We have some pretty serious drifts. but the grass is still poking through in some spots.

I know I always heard it was but.......

I microwaved some of that chocolate bark, for dipping pretzels in. Well I burnt it and it smelled horrible, so I set it out on the deck and forgot about it until I went to let the dogs in and noticed it splashed all over the back door! Then I panicked because i realized Mocha was out side and there was a half of package of chocolate gone! Bowl and all! Well I finally found my bowl under the snow on the opposite side of the house yesterday!! The chocolate is long gone and she seems fine, so I guess it didn't hurt her. I am sure that is probablly the same chocolate Michelle used.

Sunshine, outside, oh you are killing me rir!! I had to plug in the pickup last night and let it run for half an hour to get Raymond to the bus stop 1 mile away. AND it was 13 in the coop this morning!!

Chocolate in large doses is bad for a dog, but we didn't give him that much. We had a really stupid pomeranian pup when the kids were little. That idiot climbed on my kitchen table one day when we were gone and ate a whole bag of Hershey's kisses!

He spent the whole evening running down the hallway, up and around on our bed and back down the hall. All night long. He also had the runs for about 24 hours, but lived to tell about it! His little heart felt like it was going to explode in his chest! He is also the same dog that ate my birth control pills. We only had him about a year. He finally got ran over by a car. We attract strange animals!

charmed--Please tell us how everyone is doing today!

It was 5 here this morning. I am enjoying a cup of hot chocolate with peppermint mocha creamer in it and eating my dipped pretzels!

Btw, we used a crock pot to melt the bark, it seemed to work great. We just turned it off or on as we needed and spent the whole day making candy!

Good Morning Good Morning! Sitting here at dad's. He's still asleep! He was a little confused yesterday but I think he has been dreaming hard and missing mom. Other than a few things he is confused on, he is his old self. He's sleeping good now so I think things are good here. My DD is doing good. She is going to go to the Dr. and get checked out. She thinks she may have some issues that need tending to. She is in good spirits and taking things in stride. The way we both look at it is, if she is meant to have another baby, she will. Only time will tell.

It was darn cold here this morning but the wind isn't blowing and the sun is shining so it wasn't bad feeding this morning. I took care of the chickens first. There was already one egg layed so I stuck it in my pocket to take in the house. Well, when I crawled into the hay loft to throw down some hay.......yeah, you guessed it. I had scrambled egg in my pocket!! Yuck! Good thing I had another coat to wear.

I have a red heat lamp on my girls. I never have left a light on them. When they started laying they layed for a year straight until they started molting. They were slow to start laying when they were young but layed a plenty when they got started. Have patients....they'll come through!

Thanks for the recipes! I am going to make Oreo balls this weekend. Never had them or tried them but they sound too easy not to try. Also, I got a great idea off the food network this weekend. You take a cookie sheet and put one of those rubber mats in it. Silpat? I think it's called. Take metal cookie cutters and spray them with pam inside and out and put on the mat. Next take metal ends for piping bags and set them kinda in the middle top part. Then take candies like lifesavers and jolly ranchers and put them in the mold. Put in the oven @ 350 for 6 mins. Set out to cool then carefully trim off the excess and pull out the metal piping bag end. You have an edible stain glass looking candy ornament that you can put a ribbon on and have on the tree! I hope I explained that right. They look really neat. I bake cookies with the grandkids every year and I am going to try this. Hope they turn out!!!
