BAH   white stuff.  Cold, wet, white stuff.  Not like we have had twice before.   As the day is progressing I see it melting off the pines. At least the sky is beautiful to look at.

  They say we will reach 50's in the coming days.   Up, down, up, down.   Just like our attitudes when this happens.
I decided to put the chickens back in their winter house (where we keep the meat birds in the summer).  It gives them more room when the snow is on the ground.  We lost a chicken the other day.  I think it tried jumping up or down from the nesting area and broke it's neck.  It was one of those rhode islands that have always given us problems.  All I know is that we got three eggs the next day.   Hmmm.....
So cooking...what else?....Chicken soup for lunch.

But I have it on top of the coal stove.  It's very hot and makes it smell good in here.

I was out yesterday and found some more apples on that tree I want Tom to clear around.  They are really good, but the tree needs some special attention so we can harvest more next season.
