There's not too much new going on around here. Asher is settling in well. He's such a good little pup so far! Trixie is getting very wide. I only have 2 more weeks I can milk her before I need to dry her off. Kids in March, yay!
Kat finally decided to sample the annual rye grass I planted for them. Up til now, only have chickens have enjoyed it. Sure is a pretty color though. Maybe I just need to sit out there and stare at the spring green.
We cracked a couple of Chase's duck eggs. I was amazed at how clear the whites are. Unlike chicken eggs, they are completely transparent.
I am hoping Cole's silkie roosters get here today. I first inquired about them on December 17. This is taking entirely too long especially considering that all 3 of his hens are broody now. I think I'll give them a few Marans eggs.
How do y'all stay upbeat and motivated in the winter? I need tips.
I am feeling the same way. It's so dark and wet here. And way too warm. Last night the wind was blowing something awful and all I could think of was tornadoes. It's been almost 2 years since those horrible tornadoes that went through here and we don't want to see any more of those. Right now I have the windows open.
ReplyDeleteI will be walking out back with my 2 dogs just to get outside. To clear my head and just enjoy being outside on some green grass, not squishy wet mud. That helps me.
