Dh felt like we had about 8 inches when he was out at four o'clock; it was blowing so hard at six fifteen, he could not tell if it was blowing snow or still snowing. Chickens will usually slow down their egg laying in the winter, but with the light inside for extended light hours, our 21 hens have given us about 18 eggs almost everyday. We sell some at $1.00 a dozen, give some away, and use all we want too. Ducks have quit laying eggs, and the guineas being of South American decent, hate the cold. Ducks do not seem to mind the cold at all...they waddle out, sit down, and put their feet up to warm and tuck their heads under their wings.
On the last FART trip, I got proper yardage for dh to line up his ducks on a pp pattern. He is much better than I at pp. And he makes his own kilts now, something I will not touch. With his computer down yet, he is not a happy camper. Pass the chocolate, please.
