Maple tree has budded. Early magnolias in bloom. Crap apple blooming. Plants are trudging toward spring....

Rain and thunderstorms! All day! Dealing with one big bored coonhound. Trust me....a bored coonhound can be quite the PITA! Did run out to the coop to see the girls. They are none to pleased either....

Well that's a shame. Hate that happened .

So it's been raining all day. Rain through Saturday. Flooding expected....not in my area. Let the girls out, but don't think it was the usual party.

I know, I know Ralph. But my girls are city divas. I leave their gate open...they come out for a bit, but end up preferring to be warm & dry.

Feedman...the weather has prevented me from getting up there. Hoping for this week! Congrats on the new birds!

Ralphie....how many turkeys are you hatching this season? How's the new little lapper doing?

I predict folks will be looking for chickens/turkeys once this weather stabilizes a bit. Seems every few days there is some weather catastrophe. Folks are too busy buying milk & bread at the grocery vs looking for live poultry. The weatherdorks had us believing we were going to be blown off the map yesterday. We got a bunch of rain....but it was not nearly as bad as they had been talking about for the last week.

I'm just annoyed with the weatherdorks scaring the heck out of everyone for days prior to the bad weather arriving.
