Alright, who called me crazy for wanting snow again?
I guess I am pretty crazy!

I'll call you crazy.

DVC, I pronounce thee crazy!

When I get a new PFM, I'll change my title to "crazy for precipitation"!

Tax before RC yells at me:

Cluckie having a nice, relaxed day.

Cluckie having a nice, relaxed day.

Aww, a light Brahma.

 

[Desertvalleychickens]

Aww, a light Brahma.

Yep, the most chill chook in the coop. Always keeps the peace.

My Brahmas attack Philly when I put her back in the coop. I've pecked them with my fingers a couple times (there's one specific one with a mean streak).

Some of you wondered what I did with Mt Poopmore, normally I have someone come and haul it over to the tree farm across the road from me, but last year I didn’t get a chance to do this, so this summer I will definitely need to get it removed. And then start all over again

Well, the chickens definitely keep Mt Poopmoore turned making great fertilizer. We have 3 different gentleman come every spring and haul off as much manure as they want. It is a combo of horse and chicken. They love it for their gardens. Then we have family who also garden and have asked for manure. Sure come and get as much as you need. Nope they expect us to load and haul it to them for free. Yeah, not happening, you want it, you come get it. Yes we will help you load it if needed. Never charge anyone who wants any, but not delivering it to you. Heck, you come get it you'll also end up going home with a few dozen eggs as well for free.

I saw an ad for somewhere not very far from me where the guy was selling chicken manure at $1 a bucket.
You brought however many buckets you wanted and when he had filled them he would call so you could collect!

Hahahaha yea you’re an nut! Winter just means more work for me - and not easy work either.

Oh it’s pretty out there all blue and silver and green, but…..

I had to move both trucks to the road and clean the snow off them out there, then I shovelled the driveway because my mother pitched a fit ‘no we are not getting your niece to come over and clean out the driveway it’s light and fluffy we can shovel it’ (ya whatever light and fluffy until you start to move it around then it weigh 14,000 tons!), so I shovelled the driveway like a good girl and backed her truck in when it was only half done shovelling the driveway because ‘I don’t want it on the road someone might hit it, and I don’t want it running it’s bad for it to run’ (ok so I generally miss all this crap when I am out west working all winter - might head back out there soon! FYI the only vehicle to go by all morning was the snow plow).

Then I shovelled to the barn with my big scoop because I cant slog through the snow to the barn all the time it’s too hard on my hips and back (oh wait ya so is shovelling), then threw down hay for the week from the loft, and repiled it down in the barn, and cleaned stalls, oh and made 4 loaves of bread. Now I am exhausted my arm is killing me (tendinitis from a serious fracture many moons ago), my back and hips are protesting and I have a headache from the high pressure system sitting over top of us giving us the brilliant blue skies today.

Whining tax
