You did pretty good despite the rotten weather Jerry!

Another misty gray day out there.

We are buying alot of tires this month. DH needs them for his truck. DD needs 4 for her Nissan. I need two new front ones for my car. Move the current fronts bought last year to the back. Lots of tires. ugh. Winter months demand good tires.

Chickens are under cover alot. They looked like little wet rats yesterday despite being under the deck most of the day. Poor birdies. We cooked squash last night and They got skins with some squash flesh attached yet.

Just seen a moultrie camera shot from a friend who has a cabin West of Togo Land. 3 Moose. A bull, young bull and cow! all 3 nibbling on the treats left there for the camera. Amazing. I didn't think there were 3 moose left in Minnesota!

I am the only person you know with a cabin west of Togo!!!!! And I want to keep it that way.

Have a field by the farm that is PACKED with Canadian and snow geese. The snow geese must have shifted their migration pattern because there have been a lot around here this year.

We have fields with thousands of sandhill crane around here......I sure would like to pop one for Sunday dinner.... but that might hurt my election chances a tad.....maybe next year we will get a season here on them....

There’s a woodpecker in the bird feeders that isn’t in our huge book of birds... Waiting for pictures and then I’ll share. Grandpa has never seen one like it before.

Got my final order this year of chickies - 15 Jersey Giants and the one free bonus. One DOA in the box, the rest seem to be doing pretty well.

Nope. It’s a black/grey with white on his back and wings and a brownish head
