Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Lol..Yea, we do get cold enough to have to break up ice in water troughs and buckets. Occasionally enough to "ice skate" in sneakers around the yard... Occasionally we'll even get a foot or two of snow! that's a Blizzard for us!

Sounds terrifying. Let me guess, they call snow days for that?

A marmalade sandwich?

Found a great recipe for Carp:
Nail the fish to a pine board, cook over an open flame 'til the flesh is flaky but moist, then throw the fish away & eat the board.

Oh lord...They call school for a light dusting on the grass.

Well, I suppose an inch of snow would be scary for us too if we had no snow tyres and no experience driving in it.

So that's all we're good for, eh? No wonder you kept me around so long.

Hey! You liked it a minute ago! Make up your frostbitten mind!

I can't. The cold short circuited it.

Morning pond! Finally caught up... Sorta.lol
Only thing extra I do as far as the goats is adding blackoil sunflower seeds to their feed. It's a natural source of sallenium(sp?) and can't overdose. I only offer baking soda if someone has tummy issues, but only needed to once. Haven't had to trim feet except for the new ones brought in, we live on rocks...This area is nothing but limestone, so mine are walking on rocks all the time.lol
Well, that's all I got for now.

I figure with all the lush green we got going on here right now, I'll need to keep an eye out for belly issues, just to be safe... got BOSS too, lol...

Down to a single 55 flowery rooster, somehow the other one drown himself in a 55 gallon drum that was 3/4 full of water.

Well, chit! That bites!
Lost one of my boys not too long ago cuz the idiot thought he could go through the clear roof panel, missed and hit the cross beam... :/

Apparently, you get yerself a goat for that

Most of our hill a mower can't even run on, so yep!

Folks here still talk about the blizzard of 93... 2 to 4 feet of snow with 4 to 5 for drifts in a couple of spots as if were equal to the great depression! Shut down EVERYTHING for nearly 3 wks. Well more like a wk and a half, buy can't tell the ol'timers that!

Oh yea, don't get me wrong, I'm just as bad...I won't get out in unless it's life or death!
