It's chilly and overcast this morning. I am moving so slowly because of it! The house is quiet. All the animals are cared for. I may just slip back to bed! It's already 10 am. That would be so bad of me! I have so much I could be doing, but those warm covers are calling my name! LOL two cups of coffee apparently are not enough to motivate me this morning.

I agree 100%. Normally since it is Sunday I am up and ready for Worship!! Except I am not moving too slowly..... for some reason I literally have the runs!! NOT normal for me. And yes I wash my hands and take precautions before and after being near the coop, even if I only open the latch to let the in the kennel.

Guess when it slows, if it quits raining, I will go make a more secure connector between the coop and the kennel. Maybe sit in sun if it comes out. If not I will crawl back in bed with the cat.

Snowflake-- back when we were buried under snow I ordered literally thousands of seeds from seedsavers.org.... Kind of wishing that I had a scorched field for my own at the moment. Do you have a tractor with a planter? I read somewhere where some guy was using I think it was a bean planter for his flower seeds, I bet that was pretty when they bloomed.

no tractor, no planter, I have an elderly friend that just sprinkled seed on top of the snow, she had an awsome garden
I hope raking a little may be enough. otherwise I have a rototiller, that should work OK

I know but he didn't come over and help

I should have offered some beer.
I had just put some cookies in the oven though so I had fresh cookies to offer when the fire was out

I think i am pretty fed up with my flogging rooster.. he sure is getting worse.. he is 9 or 10 months old.. is he to old to put on the grill.. i was thinking brine all day and over night.. and maybe put on grill for a few hrs.. and if he is still tough.. maybe put in roaster and cook on low till tender.. but would like it if i could just cook on grill.. anyone know if there is a better way to do this with good results..
