We set up a display at the school's annual "Trunk or Treat" .... chicken themed with a couple live hens of course.

In addition to the chicken costumes, décor and clothing, I made newspaper cornstalks. Each kid got a few chicken jokes before receiving candy. A few poultry related 4-H posters, trophies, signs and t-shirts were displayed. My fav was the nestboxes. The friends who know us well were able to name the chickens I drew in the nests. LOL DS set up his Chromebook and we had "Techno Chicken" playing on a loop. We were very popular and ran out of candy before the end. As a consolation, I let those kids pet and feed a chicken.

Sadly it drizzled and then rained so some of the decorations had to get put away early. Otherwise a great night.

Anyone else getting this crazy snow? We're at 2 inches and it's still coming down, wet and sticky snow that's clinging to the trees. It almost sounds like a light thunderstorm in the woods because of snow weighing down branches until every now and then they CRACK snap off suddenly!

you got actual snow?! Here it started as snowflakes, but turned into rain

We did! It started off as rain and sleet, then turned to wet snow and just kept coming down. I'm snuggled in my comforter in bed warming up now, but it was still snowing ~30 minutes ago before I laid down.

Lucky! I nearly froze my hands off..

Today it was announced that our family won 2nd place for our chicken-themed Trunk or Treat. And, guess what the prize was???

Spoiler: 2nd Place Prize

A 'Raising Canes' gift basket. We found it very amusing to win gift cards to a CHICKEN restaurant for a chicken-lovers display.


It's OK. We will enjoy the meal. The kids are fine with eating chicken as long as it's no one they know.
