Good morning everyone! I have a few moments to myself so I just want to wish everyone a Happy Groundhog Day or sad day for those of experiencing blizzards...stay safe everyone?

He had his Phil!

Pennsylvania Phyllis is more accurate than Phil!

What you will love about this is they don't stay with just one, they will move around. Its hysterical as they move in sequence. Try to picture this. 3 bowls, 6 hens. They start out like this.

Bowl 1, Hattie and Lilly
Bowl 2, Aurora and Sansa
Bowl 3, Sydney and Phyllis

Aurora decides to move and goes to Bowl 3. Sydney leaves 3 when Aurora arrives and goes to Bowl 1. Lilly realizes that she is not eating with Sansa and joins her at Bowl 2. We now have....

Bowl 1 Hattie and Sydney
Bowl 2 Sansa and Lilly
Bowl 3 Phyllis and Aurora

Now Phyllis is heads down when she is eating and for whatever reason she always winds up tickling Aurora's butt with her head feathers. Disgusted Aurora leaves to join Hattie at Bowl 1. Sansa and Lilly decide they need to see what's in Bowl 3 and both move there. When Sansa arrives she pecks Phyllis and Phyllis starts to wander aimlessly. When Aurora arrives at Bowl 1 Sydney leaves and goes to the empty Bowl 2. Eventually Phyllis identifies Sydney and joins her at Bowl 2. We now have.

Bowl 1 Hattie and Aurora
Bowl 2 Sydney and Phyllis
Bowl 3 Sansa and Lilly

This actually happened on Saturday. It's nuts but it works. Everyone got some.

Go figure.

I do multiple bowls. Two per tribe is usually enough.

How is everyone doing that for hit by that storm? Is it done, or is more coming? Take care! Hoping the electric stays in.

It's pretty done here. We are dug out. I think @RoyalChick is still suffering through it.

Fascinating. I know it can be used to help protect wounds as well.

Sure can! Honey is the "Bees Knees" !

I was bitten by a dog on my calf while bike riding ages ago. Medium-small dog, but still. More bad crushing/bruising than wounding, but two teeth went in pretty far. Went to the emergency room, they guy scrubbed them out with Povidine. The deepest puncture wound developed infection. Should have been chlorhexidine!

Should have been.

Still snowing here - but definitely lighter snow than this time yesterday.

That's progress.

Frankly, the notion of Phil seeing his shadow is bogus, Man! That is Fake News! The sun wasn’t even out! They’re scamming us!

Stick with Phyllis. She accurate!

I haven’t read through it yet, but this might be a good read.
