Muskegon has barely gotten snow this year. I used my blower once and even then didn’t need to. We have bare ground. Not to say we won’t get hit still.

Going to be sunny, at least for awhile!

Dreamz, when will you be back?

Home made Elderberry tonic. Elderberry is good for the prevention of colds and flu.View attachment 3408377

My Mom and Dad always had tons of Elderberries and she made preserves. Cindy wants to harvest them every year. They grow thick by the big lake. We have a few on our property also but the birds seem to get them before we have a chance. That “tonic” looks strong. Probably put me to sleep!

Wow! Maybe he should bring her to CS23.

Good for Sam. Congratulations.

I took my trash to the transfer station (dump) today. The township had a bunch of trees cut down and they had them piled up for me. How great is that?
There wasn't enough time to do anything today before closing but I will be cutting and loading Wednesday and Sundays for the next few weeks.

After 3 delays waiting for the truck to arrive, I ended up working until after 7:30pm. Came home in the dark to find the ducks all agitated in the front yard. Checked the coop and sure enough an opossum was bedded down in the coop. None of the chickens were disturbed by the new room mate. I tried to get him out but where he was would have meant tearing up half the coop where the chickens were roosted. I let the opossum stay where he was and left the coop door open.
So the ducks slept outside last night and the only "downside" was that the opossum had a fresh egg for breakfast. I still gathered 4 eggs this morning and everything is normal. It's just part of living in the woods with the local wildlife.
