Surviving Minnesota!

I think I will put Junior in the Run with the hens during the weather episode as well.  They may as well learn all about that run.  It's not like there's nothing to do in there.  I will probably get a  bag of sunflower seeds and stir some in the leaves, grasses and straws I have in there. Windows washed on two sides of the house.  Will do other side tomorrow if temps allow.  I also cleaned up the coop bedding a bit pulling out larger lumps of poo.  Sprinkled Coop Fresh (Citric Acid Crystals) And laid some compressed straw down that the chickens had pulled apart while on a field trip in the garage one day.  Chicken Shenanigans!  I need to pull the broody coop out of the run to make space for the birds to exercise this winter.  And Tack down any plastic that has slipped its nails and lath.  It's held pretty well.  But just need to firm is up before winter winds.

I'm wishing I would have taken better advantage of the weekend 3 days ago!  Oh well.  I think this snow will hit the warm ground and it will be gone.  That's my gut feeling. But as a procrastinator there will be no rest for the wicked now due to previous laziness! 

Should also probably cover that pipe that runs from the septic tank to the drain field with a couple bales of hay.  And get out my purty blue tarp that Ralphie loves so much in my yard.

We had dinner at in laws tonight.  Was nice not to cook.  She's an excellent cook.  Beer batter Shrimp Brought from the docks of South Texas.  Taters, Nummy bread and Salad.  Pretty good. I'm full, full.

DD has started basketball practice.  Getting in shape.  

DD here has also started practice this week. Not sure who does more "running",us or her! Living 14 miles out of town makes picking up and bringing in a bit more time consuming. I don't wish away Years but I can't wait for her to have her license!

We are 25 miles one way. It totally sucks. or Vacuums.

Other kids from our littler town go to this school though...and we are carpooling fools. One or two runs a week still adds up though.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning to all. I read the thing about the ND ranchers and stock loss Layers. If I were there and they were trespassing on my property it would not be good for them. A bunch of worthless trouble makers in my opinion.

I read the article as well. Where do these protesters come from ?

That is the part that bites for us no one out our way has kids doing the same thing or at least not many. Next year there will be another family at the middle school level that is on our same street so that will help.

Some are Indians but a lot are from other states trying to cause trouble

We are also 25 miles away. It adds up after a week. When my older sister isn't there I have to hitch a ride with someone else thank gosh Matthew usually does, the up side of Matthew taking me home is we usually stop for food
