After being in town yesterday I am looking forward to being home and catching up on a few things.
A super big treat for me last eve was all chooks where they were supposed to be at bed time! Spider and Beetle have grown closer and with more respect fending off the new genes of Santa. They were roosting pretty close together. Spider with his select few of refined ladies, Beetle with a big handful of silly girls. It was very fun and charming to check in on them last eve and I look forward to more normalcy. Though, I will miss Santa... ❤and the little cuspid. View attachment 3356910
That looks beautiful and so festive!@FBMcrazy8 and @Gammas Bearded Babies I am in awe of your fortitude to keep all your outside babies safe and warmSounds as stressful as my summers with 110+ weather! Constant checking, constant worry, only so many things you can feed and water them…blah! I LOVE my cold weather but that’s just WAY too cold! :-( I hope today is better!!
@Shetland lover I too LOVE snow leopards and go to our zoo specifically to see them! The family gets annoyed because I spend forever watching them and they get boredSoo pretty.
I managed to find my holiday spirit enough to wrap a bunch yesterday and sort of decorate the tree. I usually do three times the amount of decorations, but waited too long to make it worth it! Today is a cookie exchange and then football

Still way to brr for me! I wanted to move to Alaska when me and hubby first married, and I've teased him for years that he must've only heard the A's and took us to Arizona. But yep...I'm sure glad not to have to deal with all that. Our summer heat has its downsides, but I'm definitely past the point of wanting to trade it for cold.Thank you! For myself it is for sure lasting today and it is supposed to be a tad warmer tomorrow. If 8 degrees is warmer
Hoping Christmas is warmer yet for you!
I’m exhausted but I feel accomplished. I can’t say I won’t have frostbite get to a few of them but their coop stayed at 0. There was snow that came in and I cover up those vents. So basically ALL their vents are covered….expect I left the top of the vents open, so air could still come through and well no air was being pushed out really but was so they still have some ventilation. I know how I’m going to do this next time. I have a plan. I thought I had it figured out when it snowed last because the only snow that came in is from the front ventilation. I have that figured out but I wasn’t thinking with these high winds how easy it is for snow to come right on in. I have to go remove some snow later today but I’m not too worried about in the bedding as there isn’t a whole lot and it won’t melt anytime soon. But I’m going to have to replace that bedding. And the bedding for the ducks as well. I have a plan for them next time as well. I think that the goats were well protected but because they are babies they just couldn’t do these temps.
