Thanks! She is always near by unless hubby takes her for a walk.
Today I cut more boards, some plywood, and made a frame for a window. Painted everything I cut. It's supposed to rain tomorrow but maybe I can get something done before that happens

Good morning everyone. It is supposed to rain this afternoon. If I can, I would like to work on the coop a bit. Have a great day!

Nasty situation here......couple-few inches of snow last night, then freezing rain, now drizzly rain with temps up to 38°F. Was able to shovel path the coop(not too bad early) and part of run.
Tried to clear other places, impossible for me to lift and toss the slush.
Temps are supposed to plummet tonight(17) with more snow(4-5") and stay well below freezing for 5 days/nights.
Hope it doesn't all turn to a solid ice pack so I can't use the thrower to clear the driveway tomorrow.

About the same here
I used a coal shove to move the heavy snow.

Ha!! I can hardly lift a coal shovel, let alone one filled with wet snow!

good afternoon, I was up at 4am. decided to have a cuppa and then started on mixing bread dough. by 8 am I had 16 caramel walnut rolls and one loaf of bread all done.
we got about 6+ inches of wind blown snow.
at 8am, Bob was here with his pu truck and cleared the driveway and parking area. snowed just a little after he left. but not enough to worry about plowing.
26F now, but the temps are going to drop steadily and then hold at single digits for about a week.
