Cold and Colder




Every time we think it can't get colder...it does! We had a one day thaw last week, which was much needed - everyone had their buckets emptied of huge bucket-shaped ice cubes, the chicken barn waterer was re-filled and the barn received a good airing out. Even with the heat lamps the pullets still piled up, and we lost a few to smothering, but they seem to be adapting to the cold a bit better now, though all the hens gave up on laying for now. Still working on wrapping up the taxes and then it will be time to inventory the seed and put in this year's order.

With this weather, we've been spending lots of time inside, playing and sewing... I've started digging into the great pile of fabric I bought at reprodepot's remnant table at the BUST craftacular - Frida Kahlo! Tattoos! :) I can't wait for spring though - we're all getting cabin fever!
