It’s a good thing that we have gotten used to working from home.
Stay safe and warm Mr and Mrs ByBob and tribe.

Two extremely important rules in life.
1. Phyllis is never wrong.
2. If you are in doubt on her accuracy, refer to rule #1

This is one time I have to put Shaggy Louis up against Phyllis. I'll let you know when he lets go of that first hair.

I love you Phyllis, but I think your wrong, we are in for longer then 2 weeks. My 3 wooly mammoth horses are still hanging on to every single hair on their winter coat. This time last year, i'd pet them and be covered.

You cannot shake Phyllis' commitment to her prediction. Don't even try.

Lol, i'll go out in a bit, in the falling snow...and get a pic of shaggy grumpy Louis. He says winters hanging on for a while.

Right now the tribe is snuggled up against the human coop on the deck. There is no wind there and tons of bad for you snacks.

Including killer corn?

@RoyalChick where where we discussing scotch? Shadrach has weighed in. No ice, ever.

In my case, it's ice always!

Bok has to decided to have a bit of a reminisce in the nest this morning after I scooped the nightly poop from the coop

At least I hope that’s all it is, don’t want an egg from the old girl

So Drummie is NOT a fan of the hair dryer, at all. I brought him last night to dry him off, with the drop in temps I was not comfortable leaving his soaking wet butt out there. First time ever we had words and my sweet boy attempted to flog me. He's sulking today, but after some persistence did get him to take a raisin from me, and a quick cuddle.

That's a surprise! The chickens at my house like it. I always use the lowest heat and air, which makes it as quiet as possible. They lean into it!

PURPLE killer corn no less! The deadliest of all the corns.
