When I was home in Michigan we had a foggy morning and the fog froze on the trees, so pretty especially on willow trees. The snow drifts looked like the were covered in diamonds when the sun shone on them.

Pretty, but deadly. I wish it hadn't come at all. The space heater in the conservatory went out and all of my tropicals and semi tropicals froze. Lost the all Christmas cactus that were covered in just opening buds, the pineapple sage that was glorious with red blooms, half the Amaryllis I've been growing for about 10 years that were in various stages of sending up blooms have frozen bulbs, and pretty much all the extra plants that I cycle in and out of the house during the winter so I can have something healthy and green to enjoy are damaged if not outright dead. Even my Meyer lemon, which I've had for six years now, was shocked and wilted. I've pulled the damaged leaves and about 40 buds off, hoping that will encourage it sprout new leaves quickly, but still, no lemons for me this year. :^(

Actually, after pulling up pot after pot of soft, mushy leaves, dumping about half the plants, and bringing the survivors inside, I'm just sick about the whole thing.

Bummer!!!
I love my plants almost as much as my chickens. There is just something about digging in the dirt.
My pineapple sage makes it thru the winter most years, at least the golden delicious variety does. It has almost yellow leaves and really smells like apples not pineapple.

To all of you Pigeon people on here. Yers back I worked with a guy in Okc. who kept pigeons, one time we talked he showed me his birds and told me he was starting a pigeon magazine. I was wondering if anybody knew of a magizine from Ok. I worked with him 15 yrs. but we have lost touch.

"Inertia" is what I feel when it is really cold outside, and the "viscosity" of water is severely reduced because it has become ice.

My working hypothesis is the first few chickens a person aquires is the catalyst that causes an exothermic reaction in the math centers of the brain, slowing the viscosity of the neuro fluids between the neurons causing the condition commonly called chicken math, but you won't find that hypothesis in any thermodynamics text book currently available.

I like it! I think chickens are the catalyst for a whole lot more chickens.

Maribeth, sometimes my mind just does things that I don't even understand.
Some of them were a stretch to say the least.

Ok I need a quick reminder from some of you. What is the best treatment for a whole flock of chickens.
Looks like several of my 100 or so adult birds are coming down with cold/respiratory stuff.
Gurgling throats, watery eyes, and just acting like they don't feel good.
I startted everything on Duramyacin yesterday but today even more are showing symptoms.
I want to head this off quick but I am not looking forward to have to give every bird a shot.
So what do you guys do.
I don't know where my Dr. Les handbook is hidden.

K.T. was the one that came up with the word Snarky's, if you remember her chickens had them every week.
