I love camping and have lived overseas where i had to carry water, so its just another day, albeit colder!! So the house is still warm according to normal people standards 🤣 but its dropping. I decided to organize so i could move, warm up, get things done. My little sweeper is rechargeable too, so i even managed to vacuum!!

Neighbors are so sweet, they saw me trying to figure out my ice covered truck earlier and texted me that i should stay inside and they could make me a sandwich 🤣 omg.. too funny.. but they just called and are picking me up a burger while they are out!

I managed to recharge my phone in my truck, i have one outlet that allows a trickle charge, so that was convenient. So i can run it down again before bed.

I threw some worms in for the big girls, tried to throw in scratch, but the container was iced shut. But they like worms most anyhow. They all (except Esmeralda) moved up to the high perch next to the nest boxes. Probably warmer there. But everyone looked good.

Little ones are pecking away and chirping in the brooders. They seem very content.

My maltipoos are shivering, but I'm going to wrap them up w me on the sofa in a few. I'll let them sleep w me tonight too.

Neighbors said they saw power workers out, so they are hoping power will be up soon.. but.. im not counting on it. I'll keep busy though. I need to figure out a backup power solution once i am working!!
I feel you, I'm like a tortoise - I need warmth to be active.
I'm glad all your little ones (outside and inside) are doing so well!

Yay!! Its back on!!

Ok.. not trying to sound negative, but we have even colder temps and sleet coming shortly, so i am not expecting it to STAY on.. but if we can get at least an hour, the house will be warmed back up to my subtropical comfort zone!!!
That's awesome news :thumbsup (well that the power is back - not the colder temps and the sleet 😩)

As long as it gets warm in the house, I'll be ok w the outside (unless it gets even colder and messes w my big girls!!)

Sounds like you need to move to Hawaii… Though we get power outages here too!😊

Awesome! Hopefully it will stay on through this crazy weather!
 
No, its already back out 🤣 but the house is now 74 degrees.. im hoping to get it to 80 and make some hot chocolate in the next 10 minutes its working!
Hot choc sounds nice! It's 9 degrees Celsius here and it's Summer! You have it quite hot there actually at 74 F 🥵
I have a handy portable gas stove to boil water/ cook on if power is out and also gas bbq. And fireplace. 😁 I don't have a kitchen (doing renos) so have been using portable stove.
... We don't have firewood though so can't use fireplace 😂
