The Old Folks Home

Ron I don't know whether to use the sad emoji or the mad one on your post.

It's currently 11 degrees here now, down to 3. We have 8 inches of snow on the ground with another 2 called on by Friday. They haven't plowed our road yet. No delivery trucks can get through, we can't get out.

:hit:hit:hit:hitI am so ready for spring and so are my chickens. They have been penned up for over a week now. I have to go out twice a day and hammer the ice off their water bowls as one of them took a dump and stopped heating and the other one, well, it doesn't heat to start with so I just take my frustration out on it with a hammer.

They are calling for -8 or -9 over the weekend as lows. One high was -3 at one point but I think they have been moving the temps up a bit here. It's very unusual weather for this time of the year here in MO. Today DH said he wished we had chosen down state about 200 miles to retire to.

I'm still fighting the creeping crud but slowly feeling better so I guess I'm going to live.
I know! It is happy to get spring weather but allergies are terrible!

My hens are locked up in a small coup until the fence is replaced. The old fence is gone and the person installing the fence has started on the posts. Hopefully I can get them over there soon
 
Yeah, very sad!! Of ALL the places that sled could have caught fire WHY did it have to be on the ancient wooden covered bridge??? I believe I heard that alternate routes over the river are pretty distant. I just looked, just about 4 miles north or 4 miles south to the next bridges over the Missisquoi river.

No rain here...

Cold, cold, cold. Brrrrrr
But NO mud!!!

Beautiful weather here, warming up!!
Relatively, yes! We are looking at negative temps the next few days with wind chills around -20°F even though the wind will be close to only 5 MPH.

Yeah it’s awful! And 4 miles doesn’t seem too far especially on a snowmobile, not like it’s 30, but I guess if they had something they needed to get to at that spot? Idk
