Nevadans?

Wow! Living down here in the desert we kind of forget what *real* winter weather is like. Yeah, it was a nippy 29 degrees this morning, but at least our roads are clean and clear. Sorry y'all up north have the added aggravations on your commute.

hehehehehee -- I'm watching a pigeon land on our frozen fountain. Boy, was he disappointed!

NevadaRon - Next Jeopardy! tryout I want you standing over my shoulder. I am horrid at most things involving geography and anything involving sports (unless it's horse racing). I'm good at pop culture, the arts and most sciences and languages, but locations just elude me despite my keen sense of direction.

2Seth2 - How are the kits this morning? I love baby rabbits when they go from peach fuzz to something noticeable. It was great fun when I raised English Spots to see what they actually were going to be colored as.

AmericanValkyrie - I think you'll enjoy having a dedicated space for a studio. Sounds like a sweet deal! I'm realizing I should probably have my own space rather than renting torch time. However, I already have a home office for my biz and then if I added a studio here on top of it here, well, I'd probably never get anything done. (Working at home already is dealing with the Land of Distraction without the added temptation of having something I want to do right there to divert me from my chores.) Post pictures of your space when it's up and running, s.v.p.

Sunny - Funny... I never thought about answer button issues. I have had trigger thumbs and that might be problematic for buzzing in. The on-line test was difficult because you were only allotted 15 second per question and that included reading it, thinking about it and then typing it....on a few I just wasn't fast enough and it was maddening. Maybe "Millionaire" would be more my speed? I dunno. I'd probably suffer a massive case of stage fright anyway. For laughs, on my computer I've downloaded the SNL skits of Jeopardy! with Will Ferrell as Alex. The ones with the Sean Connery character are hilarious. Sean: "Alex, I'll take The Rapists for $200." Alex: "That's Therapists."
 
Well hopefully some of this snow and ice melts in the sun today. I gotta be to work at five in the morning and i do NOT want to have to leave my house any earlier than i have to!!!

2seth2 -

The English Spots were just standard white w/black points and spots, but it was fun to see how they freckled up.

I had one generic doe rabbit named Duchess Diablo because she was SO wicked. Gorgeous who-knows-what-breed that was a black or very dark charcoal and each hair frosted with gold. She was stunning, but a devil to work with and often would break out of the hutch and give birth under the chicken coop. Didn't like to be handled at all. Her babies were the most amazing assortment of colors and there was always one or two "wild-colored" one in the bunch....you know, like a field rabbit. Her babies, at least, were civilized with one of them living many, many years as a friend's pet house rabbit.

For awhile there I was innundated.... Very fertile and prolific bunnies. I found that feeding the does Calf Manna seemed to up the number of babies (average 8-10 with an occasional 14 kits). Luckily, there were plenty of people wanting to buy rabbits when I posted ads on the feedstore bulletin board. No questions asked as to what their destiny was to be, though....and I didn't want to know; I just needed them gone!
 
Wow. It's really quiet here today. Guess y'all are digging out or something.... Or off to Sunday church or bizzy with chores.

Last comment on the subject: I had to laugh while watching last night's Jeopardy! on TV. One of the categories was about Charles Dickens with the usual questions about books and characters and then one on where he was buried (it's Westminster Abbey...I remember that from being a tourist in London). And then came the Daily Double. The guy that had pretty much run the category was feeling kinda cocky and bet big....and then came the question: "In what bay city did Charles Dickens' wife's water break?" FOR REAL???? I mean, how obscure can trivia get??? Why or how would one even know that? The look on the contestant's face was priceless.... Oh yeah, he was living the Jeopardy! nightmare. And, yes, he blew that bet. (Answer: Portsmouth)
 
I hope you get some good layers out of that bunch!
Welcome to the Nevada thread silkieluver. I added your name to the member list. Whose potential layers are you referring to?
Oh my goodness, what a nightmare it was outside this afternoon and evening. I started getting ready for work 3 hours early for some unknown reason and was it a good thing. I got to work before the iced up roads happened. The freeway was at a standstill all afternoon. People were late getting to work because they were stuck on the side streets for 45 mins without moving. I'm so thankful I had no issues to and from work today. I wish it would either really snow or not at all. Having this sputter of snow and then boom into the teens is just wrong.
Teens?!!! We got down to 3 degrees last night. Supposed to be 2 degrees here tonight. :(
Yeah Sheryl I had a fun commute home last night! It was snowing heavily all the way, with only one break as I was going through Mound House. Glad you made it OK!
Yeah we missed the dance and couldn't get any of our errands done but at least we had the option to stay home. Sorry for anyone that had to be out in it!
We sat inside our house and watched crash after crash on the road... from cars going 3mph. It was just insane.
Good thing we decided stayed home.

Hope you got in without incident!

Football! I had to see who the Niners are playing before they go to the Superbowl! Heck of a game!

WTH!!!? What kind of a question is that?

I brought Amanda into the house last night. She was under the heat lamp shivering away. Her feet were so cold. I wrapped her in a towel and held her until she stopped shivering. Put her back outside around 11am. So tonight I just picked her up from her roost and brought her inside again. I checked the temp outside yesterday morning at 7:15 and it was 3.2 degrees here. We have 2 heat lamps going and the chickens are all huddled underneath them. I can't wait for this cold to be done with. The chickens are having a very hard winter this year.
