still snowing here. windy too. dh had to euthanize a few chickens yesterday, as
the others were pecking on them and maiming their wings and backs. He is
such a good and responsible and caring man.

I have the chickens and ducks on cracked corn now for more heat in their
little bodies. They love it!

I missed out on the rose order thing club. : ((((
How do you find out about these things in time to get on them?
I am still learning about Daves Garden, theres so much going on here!

Dori! I have a question for you. I adore that picture of the trees and house and
the fog. Would you send me a copy full jpg's that I can make a watercolour of?
In payment, I will make a watercolour for you. The picture truly is lovely.

Next w/e is the time that the winter will be down in the single digits for us.
Is everyone prepared? I like to make sure the stock tank will be filled
for the horses, and I see that the cats have made themselves lovely
fluffy hidey homes in the new hay we stacked up yesterday. The barn is
cozy for them. They can also find mices there too.

Last week, when it was 60 (!), I saw the bluebirds investigating the
bluebird house in our backyard. Told DH to make sure they are
cleaned out for them little guys. This year I also want to make
upside down cones around their stands to keep the cats from
climbing up the posts.
Bad cats!!!!!

I am still reeling over Loons announcement that her trees are badly
planted and falling over and dying. Good grief.
Hugs to Loon and her family and trees.

Since my little gh is not up yet.... I won't be able to plant any seeds
this year ahead of time. by the time they come up under the lights
its raining and storming outside and they always die anyway out in
the elements. I have been through this the last 2 years and I cannot
afford to waste any money this year on failed seeds. so, the plan is
to buy a few plants at the appropriate time to put them out here.
Thats the only way I can do it this year.

You can see from my picture here, my darling Atticus was sniffing
the blown over baby seed pots, he knew that something was going
on and I was sad.

the baby pugs are getting big now and fresh. they spend
their days nasty jumping on each other...time for them to
go to the veterinarian to be neutured! LOL

thank god for wood stoves
