Hoping everyone is fairing well after the wonderful weather..and life..
*Fisher- I hope you are holding up well.
*Heart- Hope your 'ROOTS' day went well...it is only fun when you find extra money in your pockets, not extra chickens in the coop
GDaughter & I had a blast on Friday in the snow. She wanted a snowman at first, then I had then idea of a horse..then a UNICORN!!
So, we made a really cool unicorn together..doesn't look like one anymore now...kinda looks like a huge whale coming out of the ground..
it did have lots of detail, but the camera just couldn't pick it up with everything being white...

I'm hoping the roosters and goats sell good. I had to have them separate 2 of 2 roosters because they will fight with the others.
They dont start selling till 4pm.

I know this is late..hope the sale went well for you.

One minute at a time sometimes is helpfully necessary too.
Oh man, paperwork...
don't even get me started on GOVT. paperwork......
I can only say make sure to make copies of everything!..i know this sounds ridicules, but if there ever was an entity that loses more items, it is "they"..so, please, if they have you 'filling out' anything..copy it.
If you send them anything..copy it.
Just trying to be helpful, we have had a lot of experience with this entity..unfortunately, but sometimes you just have to do more now so that you can keep your sanity later.
I hope the very best for & your family. Have the best 'Giving" day you can have.

Oh, if it snows again..hahaha, G-daughter & I will make sure we build & share something fun together again! So glad you enjoyed the unicorn!! She loved it too.

Cyndi Lauper is alive!!!! No egg today, but she is back!

Glad you have your girl back!

Thank you! I hear ya on the copies, will pass it along to Mom to make sure she is saving them. Most stuff she is keeping in a folder so I can go through it with her. I hate the BS but at least it is giving her something she feels she can do and keep busy with.

I work a 24 hr shift on Thanksgiving , so wont be having a holiday per se.... but will be having dinner at Moms on Sunday, it would have been their 30th anniversary, so we want to keep her busy that day. I will take the dogs over, having my 2 pups around usually keeps things interesting, lol

Sunday is a good day to celebrate anyway! It’s actually going to be “warm” that day.
Cold weather!

Any day is a good day for a dinner with family, no rules on that! At least not with us..haha
Making sure all the accounts & paper work is changed over is frustrating for sure.
Staying busy does help in the short term of things, it is when things settle down that we then have time to "think", and that can be hard, but when we know we have friends & loved ones close, even as close as a phone call...that can make things feel ..not so overwhelming & lonely.
30 years is a wonder time to have together.
DH and I will be married 29 years this January...feels like the only life I have ever had, and yet so short too.
Having your fur-babies around will most definitely keep things interesting...no rest for tired!
Hope work isn't to intense for you..being a holiday and all.
Have been keeping everyone in my thoughts as we prepare for our guests and dinner.
Friends & family, past & present are always on my mind when working with food especially..don't know why..maybe it is the smells that trigger memories...it is nice to remember in such a pleasant way.

Sunday is a good day to celebrate anyway! It’s actually going to be “warm” that day.
Cold weather!

we are just getting started with this wonderful season you know...
The realization always comes that this body isn't good-to-go anymore in this weather is when I have taken the pups out to potty and my fingers are completely numb/white & hurting..not cool, but it is really pretty out there when I am looking through the window.

My F1 Olive eggers (legbar x Welbar) started laying! Yes! The Marans started back up too. This spring, I'll be crossing the olive eggers the Marans to give me F2 linked Olive eggers. I'm excited to play with the egg and see how they turn out!

I went into the coop about half an hour ago, and found that the SPR boy I want is in there! My coop makes birds magically appear!
