Took the girls for a stroll. All good until a hawk drifted overhead. That ruined the day for the girls. And it kept circling. Dam thing wouldn't leave. So, they are in their pen....undercover.

So I'm just hanging around waiting for the storms to move in. Accompanied by damaging 50 mph winds and 3 inches of rain. So annoying.
R2elk...saw on the national news that the great state of Wyoming is expecting a blizzard. Does that include you?

Well so much for my Daily Weather Whining. Went to let the girls know the weather will be violent & to hang onto their roosts. Not happy hens...

Did get to run my coonhound early this morning . Hopefully that took care of his energy load. He's so pesty when bored. Poor puppy. This weather has really put a damper on our training schedule.

I may be over cautious with the girls. I just feel better when they are in a dry coop with a wind break during this kind of weather. So much easier that putting their rain boots & coats on.

Girls were crying....so they are loose. Working from home today so I can get them undercover before the storms move in. I can't resist them when they whine & cry. Admittedly they have me wrapped around their toes. It's almost 70 here. Going to be close to 80. Doesn't bode well for the incoming storms.

Good idea Ralph. I'll taking them shopping at the garden center. Boy, they'd like that.

Everyone surviving this weather ok? We had an eventful evening with thunderstorms and 50mph winds. We are still under Tornado Watches and its still blowing like crazy.

Speaking of crazy....anyone else see the Cylcone Bomb in Colorado blow over that semi truck? There was a clip of it on the national news. Yipes!

Haven't gone and checked on the girls yet. Hoping the wind didn't blow their feathers off!!

We are currently under the back edge & rain is slowing down. Wind still scary! Hang on over there Rjohn!!

This coonhound is so funny! Opened the door to let the dogs have a quick morning "constitutional ". The Aussies trotted right out in their business like manner. The coonhound poked his head out the door, turned & ran. Found him in my bed feigning sleep.

Sun is out! Storms have moved on. Currently 73, but temps dropping to the 50's tonight. I'm so sick of this weather.
Let the girls out. Daisy danced & flew around the yard. A happy bird. Annie stayed by me chattering the whole time. Its mushy out....but they could care less. I expect some sunbathing in their near future. They love to sprawl out in the sun. Just relieved to get over these storms!!

2 a day! Over achievers! Mine are still slacking.
They ate their weight on our stroll tonight. Had a gaggle of little girls come to visit. So cute....the ring leader asked if they could get hen hugs! The girls obliged. Happy giggly girls decided they need to to paint their toenails! Kids are so cute with turkeys!

And the Guinea owner build a palace for the two hooligans! Boy it's nice! Doubt the two knuckleheads will appreciate it. I'm betting the first time he let's them out they will be on the run again! Maybe he'll get frustrated and I can buy his coop!!
