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

My Iowa son says weather has been insane. 80's then 30's... He hasn't been there in spring yet (Covid forced him home last spring) and wasn't sure if this is just normal Midwest weather.

Definitely NOT normal. Some temp swings above and below freezing common for entire upper midwest and normal for lakes even still thick with ice in April but not this craziness. We are upper WI and Phil (who is U.P. Mich. a few miles north of me) has lost his snow cover which is absolutely freaky for them.

Question for you all.
Some of you know I have an absolute fetish for collecting non-fiction books, especially really old ones. Anyway, I have reached the point where I've been forced to prioritize and thin out a few categories I won't be able have room for any "new" old treasures I'm sure to find once the flea markets etc. start up again. (which is looking good to go at least up here). Anyway my question is this; I have 6 poultry related books, all of which but one are pre-1900, and the newer is a rare original on the subject of building open concept coops for cold climates. Where should I post to see if there's any interest in them? Only one I would say is in "collectible" condition, tho they all are otherwise clean and solid.

I would see if there is a Facebook group for selling those sorts of things.

[sourland]

Princess said she did very well even on the 'stand - stay' - with all of her energy that's been a weak point for her.
