:wee I got my first egg yesterday! And it wasn't frozen!
Built a couple of nest boxes for all of the pullets I got stuck with last fall. Just in time I think. The goats think that they're a great place to climb and butt. Hopefully they'll star erect.

Congrats on that 1st egg Michelle!

That's great :celebrateI can't wait to get our first egg again-wish they would hurry up and start laying again.

You and me both Sue...it's been sooooo long since I've had an egg from my flock.
 
I love to bake and it shows :hmm I used to bake and decorate cakes for promotions in the Air Force and did all my kids cakes. If I had the time I would do it again, but my hands shake and my vision stinks.

Walking is my idea of relaxing outside-I could walk for miles. In Virginia the winters could be ugly and I don't miss them and growing up in the Midwest was no fun either. You know the saying " I had to walk a mile to school in the snow" yep, my foster family didn't take me to school-it was walk or else.

I have not been bit by the ladybugs, but others have and they say it hurts :(
I know asian beetles bite and stink but do lady bugs bite? Never been bit by one of them but I have by asian beetles.

Well, I've been corrected-they are the Asian beetles that someone brought in to combat the aphid problem and they went crazy and got out of control.
ETA: Bob could tell you more about it, but I just gave the short version and hope I got it right.:hmm
 
Well, let's see I have been doing lesson plans for work and getting stuff ready for the coming weeks so I don't have to do it later. I know I'm off so why am I doing stuff for work :idunno it makes my life easier later and if I don't keep busy I'll go stir crazy as someone likes to tell me :D I just can't sit and relax for long-even after I get home from work :( Yesterday I went walking around the property after I got home and took some pictures-I am always taking pictures and Bob posts them sometimes. I mostly post them on our Facebook farm page, since I'm in charge of it.
i will be cleaning the bugs up that never seem to stop-does anyone else have the issue with ladybugs and stink bugs in the house :barnieI'm so tired of vacuuming them up!!! And they are both here right now. I do not go back until next Wed-so I have a lot of time to do stuff, or I could just try to play catch up on my reading ;) and bake some goodies :drool
Yes! I hate those fake lady beetles and the stink bugs. They get into everything,!
 
Me too. I remember my mom sending my sister & me to school in a blizzard. We couldn't even see our hands in front of our faces. What was normally a 10 minute walk took about an hour & a half, but we made it!
Lucky you didn't get lost!
 
Whew, it's been a lot of work but I think (knock on wood) the plumbing problems are fixed. I have a working kitchen and bathroom sink again!
:wee

I was there! I was delivering an RV to Quebec. I managed to outrun it all the way from Indiana, but it caught me in Vermont. That was a lot of snow! Took us a whole day to dig the RV out.
Wait, you were here and didn't even stop in to say hi? I'm so disappointed and hurt ;)

It's been hovering around freezing so a bit of it is disappearing.
That is a HUGE change from a couple of weeks ago!

does anyone else have the issue with ladybugs and stink bugs in the house
We have in the past, not this year for some reason. And yes they are the Asian Beetles, not real native Ladybugs.

I try to walk daily / generally a minimum of 3 or 4 hours daily with the dogs or working at the club.
Always nice to get exercise for those pups :D
