I with you there when it comes to coffee. It's nothing for me to drink 3 or 4 pots per day. Doesn't seem to have any effect with regard to sleeping. In fact I have fallen asleep with a cup of coffee in my hand. I alway drink the most robust dark roast coffee that I can find. Love the richer flavor and it sort of goes with my image. Of course, I ruin that image thing by wooshing it up with cream and sugar.

I use coffee to stay alive. Not to stay awake. I can drink an espresso and then fall asleep as soon as its finished. My days are very long- up at 3:20 a.m, and well- bed as soon as I am finished catching up on posts here. Usually though, its around 8:30, but my kids had ALOT of running around for me to do this evening. Just cream in mine- no sugar.
I love Starbucks..triple venti Carmel Macchiato (sp)..yum!

I was planning on building one anyway, tonight I called my cousin about some work he has done for me, and I asked him if his wife still wanted chickens. He said she did, but he wasn't building a coop.

I said "Perfect, bring your trailer over later this spring and give mine to her"

I could see her smiling on the phone from here.

She had been after him for 10 years about wanting chickens, I'm glad that she can now have them.

Now I'd like to hatch some mutts to give her with it....he's gonna really hate me.

Oh Steve, sounds like you are in big trouble!! Yep, a big batch of mutts with at least several roosters!!

Good Morning all-

I heard a rumor that a winter storm is headed my/our way. Hope it misses.
Everyone have a wonderful day- coffees on. Another day, another dollar- isnt that the way the saying goes?

Mornin' my dear friends,
I'm sitting here drinking coffee trying to work up the courage to go out and dig through the snow to find my newspaper. Maybe an improvement in the weather is not far off. Yesterday I got the most eggs ever from my freeloading flock. Nine. That's still means that 11 aren't pulling their weight. One plus was the egg count included 2 welsummer eggs. I haven't had any of those since the first part of December. I culled my roosters down to just one. I sure hope I picked the right one. I have yet to witness him mount any of the hens.
Guess I'd better go get that paper and get my day underway. I've got subs to meet on a couple of different jobs so I better get it in gear. You all stay warm today and don't go out if you don't have to.

Mornin' All,
It does look awful cold out there. I am just going to finish this cup of coffee and then I am heading out to brave the cold and new snow.

We got enough snow last night that DH had to blow out the driveway this morning. The kids already took care of the bunnies and the barn cats. They are usually really good about getting it done before the bus comes at 6:55, but I think winter is starting to really get to them too. Thanks for all the compliments on my flock!
Have a great day and stay warm!

reporting in for brunch duty.

i have the big thrill of going to U of M in Ann Arbor to get checked by the neurologist. so i will be gone all day.

there will be no baked goods. i was supposed to make Sock It To Me cake and a Chocolate Bundt cake, but my DH has to go to work after the appt. (we drive 1hr 45 minutes to get there.) he'll drop me at my mom's house and then pick me up after work. i'll be in no mans land all day.

hugs to all of you and stay warm! oh, and remember to brush and floss.

Good luck @ your appointment, we will miss you, it just isn't the same without you here. Maybe I should bake something in your absence. Not sure if I can bake, my kitchen is still in the middle of a remodel!

thank you! it will be a weird day without seeing what's going on today.

definitely bake something! remodel schmodel! maybe you could make dough boys with the daycare kids!

mix biscuit dough and spread it on a piece of tin foil with enough room on edges to wrap up. sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, fruit, chocolate chips (whatever you like/have) in middle.
fold in half and seal edges of foil. bake in coals of a fire until puffy or in a 350 oven until puffy and golden.

be careful not to get a steam burn when opening foil.
