good morning Cappy, try not to float away and have a great day. we've had 4 1/2" since midnight on top of the 6" this month.
Good morning Michelle, try to stay warm and have a great day.

It's supposed to get up to 2* today, so I'll be sweating!

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.

What's on your agenda today Sue, since you have an unplanned day off?

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 it makes my life easier later and if I don't keep busy I'll go stir crazy as someone likes to tell me 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 I'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

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

I cringe every time I have to buy eggs. Soon I'll be complaining about too many. Right now I've got about 75 hens & pullets. fingers crossed that I'll sell a lot soon! POL birds are in big demand around here in the spring.

I won't buy them-I make someone else do the dirty work

Ooo goodies...
I've been wanting to bake, but for some unknown reason I just can't get motivated enough to actually do it.

Walking around sounds like a great way to spend the day. I tried that the other day, but with snow up to my knees it was tough going. I've had snowshoes on my Christmas list for years now, but never get them .

Ugh on the bugs. Ladybugs were a big problem when I lived in Ohio. Their bites surprisingly hurt!

I love to bake and it shows 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

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!

Oh my gosh, I so remember those days and what was worse-when my mom was still alive-we had to catch the bus down the road from the house and I remember one time that we missed it and got locked out of the house and my brother was starting to get frostbit hands before a neighbor let us in. Mom wasn't home so it was just one of those things that happen Walked through many blizzards in my time and I'm sure you have as well.
