Illinois...

[BReeder!]

I live in a small-ish town (Kewanee) about 45 minutes from Peoria. My family and I a dozen Trace Adkins and we a lot of gardening vegetable and flower.

Assuming you mean a dozen "chickens". A dozen cloned country singers would be interesting though.

Yes. I'm probably that lady.

The kids & I were hatching a lot of chicks in the local schools & also for DD's 4H poultry sci project. DD ended up winning Best in Show at the DuPage Fair & went on to win all the highest at the IL State Fair as well. (Proud mommy here.)

Our son is still in Cloverbuds & so ready to move up. He already does his own creative projects at home by building his crazy inventions, home-made rockets/boats/planes, computer programming and circuits in addition to caring for his pet chickens. The boy is scary smart. This week he's learning about probability & applying it to chicken genetics. Last week he made a Rube Goldberg-like automatic chicken waterer in the backyard. It worked too! Did I mention that he's only 7?

I love to see pics of our chickens all grown up. Feel free to post as many as you like!

Long shot here... But seeing if you still sell Chickens? Orpingtons?

Faraday40 is on frequently, but I suggest sending her a private message to make sure she sees this. I'm certain she still breeds orps. She's likely got an incubator running right now. LOL

Losing food (fruit) would be much worse but still sad this is likely the end of this years lilacs

I think this is the end for my daffodils too. Many of then have been in bloom for just a few days.

It's cold...

This is not my weather. I need 80F ASAP. I'm wrapped in blanket and the dog is cuddle up with me on my recliner. Neither one of us wants to get up. Staying warm and cozy is the goal right now.

We got more snow late in the evening yesterday. It actually stuck since the sun was down. It's melting fast though now that the sun is up again. I'm watching the snow melt off the new gazebo roof fairly quickly.
