I understand that Beekissed and appreciate your talents, but really, you are the exception instead of the rule. I was writing about the 100's of thousands of suburbanites and town dwellers who have nether the time or talent do do as you do. They rely on the stores and when storms come, they run out to buy all the things you are skilled enough to make yourself. They simply don't have the time or lifestyle to live as you do.
Bee,
I always have milk, butter, eggs and cheese. Milk and butter freeze well enough, ...even gives a bit of extra 'flavor' to the butter however, the milk is just passable but it is still good enough.
A Happy Valentine's Day to you too, Ron. All are well here, and very glad to go out. I managed to get my Tahoe out at lunch, as a serious case of cabin fever was setting in.The younger birds are very dubious about walking in the snow, but scratch is overcoming that. Hopefully we don't get more white stuff tonight, as some of the forecasts call for.We never lost power, so the generator never had to kick in , but it was a very near thing.Lots of branches down all over. It's 40 now, so maybe all this stuff will melt, and dry up. Still treacherous up at my coop though, as it faces north.gjensen...I really hope this is one of those'100 year' variety of winter. The kinds of serious temps. and actual windchill factor was/is deadly, even to young strong birds. Some were doomed from the beginning because the loving owners thought additional heat provisions but with little or no provisions for ventilation. So many lessons learned over the last couple months that from now on....The experiences will pay big dividends to those who got ruffled a bit.
Happy Valentines day to all ...Big wet kisses to all the ladies and a pat on the back to the men...Enjoy life...warm or cold, it's over entirely too soon!!!!!
