Michigan is cold. And snowy. Did I mention the cold?

Just cold down state. No snow but an inch of salt on the street here.
Its cold alright! My hands are still stiff from moving the cows around at work. Brrr!
Ok, back to the Santa question. I do not know what he would be doing in Michigan. I have never believe in Santa, so don't know much about the overweight fella.
He must exist or I wouldn't have the photographic evidence. He and I have known each other for over 50 years.

The FF&H in Muskegon (Holton Rd) also has chicks. They didn't have a lot but I think California Grays, Barred Rock, Easter Eggers they're calling Araucana, Isa, Reds. Nothing fancy, just the basics. Over half of their tubs were empty still. I didn't buy any. Instead I drove out to Cedar Creek and picked up some hatching eggs (FBCM and Buff Brahma), met the owners, very nice. The back roads were snow-covered though, just as a warning to anyone going out that way.
Opa, your insistence that you have proof of Santa reminds me of a story. My family (extended, large and loud) had perpetuated the Santa Claus myth when my cousins, sister and I were young. One Christmas, he came and put presents under the tree while we (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) hid in the dark kitchen to watch. Someone took a flash picture (of the long burning flash cube variety) and when our eyes adjusted back to the dimly lit room, he was gone. My impressionable mind was in awe. I kept that photograph of him for years and when I was nine, took it to school one day to make an argument for his existence. No one else seemed to believe and I had photographic proof. If they just saw the picture, maybe they'd change their minds. But, naturally, I was made the laughing stock of the school and was devastated *inconsolably in tears* (never mind the same children who were laughing at me believed in a bigger unbelievable thing but I didn't know that at the time). It was my grandfather, obviously, dressed in the same red outfit he wore at the VFW and we didn't recognize him there either! So gullible.
I recently put that same photo on a bottle of wine that I made from grapes that my grandpa grew on his farm and called it Pixie Dell Red after the name of his farm. I gave him a bottle while he was in the nursing home, right before he died (no, I didn't kill him). He got a kick out of it. It was bittersweet. That photo just about ruined my life and then opened my mind. Child abuse and invaluable life lessons. Amazing what a silly photograph can do.
So tell us, what *does* Santa do in Michigan in the spring? Does it involve the Easter Bunny, or little leprechauns? I'm starting to think that I don't want to know.

Nigellas, check your PMS!
Don't haul your kiddies out in this crap! I'll get the chicks after work if that's ok.
I think we're working on 2 inches in AA and the roads are getting slicker. I couldn't stop to turn in the drive at work so I had to go around vs rear ending someone! EEKS!
Then on the road going to my workplace, everything was going great slow n steady, and the car just started to drift sideways around the curve.
No I wasn't going fast! The road going to my job, has deep ponds on all sides of most of the curves. Not a place to land in a ditch, unless you want to go for a swim!!
