Well put @FarmerJamie and I whole-heartedly agree! Like a lot of us I pop in multiple times a day but sometimes don't really have time or information to post. I've been guilty of clicking a like button and moving on. Other days, when I'm inside and not so time stressed, I really try to respond.

Great coop and run. I can't imagine needing to protect my birds against bears!

Ya'll make me feel like a total wimp complaining about the temps here, lol! But - truth is - I AM a total weather wimp and I embrace it. So, today I'll reach down into that wet muddy hole and turn off the water valve to the pasture. Then I'll have to turn it back on when this freakish cold...

They do tend to blow it up, lol. I find that I'm kind of addicted though. I'm always afraid there will be a last-minute change that I'll miss and life as we know it will be forever changed, lol!

Yum! I'm struggling with my sugar addiction these days. Problem being I promised myself brownies for bad weather preps and I never made them. I feel so deprived, lol! We had fresh collards straight from the garden last night. Threw a sausage link in with 'em, lots of garlic and onions and...

Yum! Nothing better than a fish fry. (unless it's a crawfish boil!)

Dang! Talk about a double whammy! Wonder how these are...

Feast or famine!

I bet those are some confused tomato plants!

I guess Monday is better than nothing - but that's a few extra days without pay - ugh.

Wow! Just wow! I like the idea of being able to grow something inside. I'm not handy like that - but maybe I can learn. I have done microgreens indoors and they're simple enough. I even put together a small aquaponic set up a couple years ago and grew a couple of tiny tomato plants in it...

Thanks. Who knows? However, I've still got several other pregnant does who haven't had any issues... :hu
