During all this cold I was thinking about your heating set up. How often do you have to feed the furnace? Does the fire last overnight?

We had chili last night. Thinking salmon tonight...unless I change my mind. That's always a possibility...

Didn't drag my lazy butt out of bed in time to put the trash out. Oh well... I enjoyed the extra sleep enough to make up for the aggravation. First cup going down good! I'll feed the critters and head off to town so I can spend a whole bunch of money on feed for the critters and groceries...

Sounds good! :pop

My goats are scarfing up the hay like they'll never eat again. Slow down guys, there's more where that came from!

Today will be un-doing all these freeze preps. I guess I can get rid of the 20 gallons of water sitting in my kitchen. Need to move some chicken tractors that I had pushed together and covered with a huge tarp over the tarps they already have on them. I'm sure they'll appreciate some clean...

Geeze, I've gotta get over this sleeping in thing. I have too much to do to stay in bed until after 8 (pushing 9). Gonna have to suck down this cup of coffee and get busy.

Thanks! It was a nice stay at home, low key day. Just how I like it! DS wanted to take us out for dinner, but I delayed until next weekend when the weather is over this hissy fit!

Slept well last night and (like a miracle) so did DH. Did morning chores. Had my usual talk with myself about "why the he// am I doing this?" Had no good answer except for some sort of self-imposed punishment, lol. Eight months out of the year I love it... DH managed to do his own...

That's great! Everything you get done ahead of time will save you so much work/aggravation after!

Are the deer raiding the bird feeders or do they just like the company?

LOL! I get it! You're saying I'm a weather wuss without actually saying I'm a weather wuss! That's ok - I totally agree! :lol:

A leftover birthday brownie and a couple cups of liquid motivation.

We'll get our turn tonight. Predicted temps could be as low as 19. Boooo!

@flowerbug Thanks for that recipe. Years ago I had that one, or one very similar.

That fish looks delish! We had round 2 of collards and sausage. Might've actually made those brownies I've been threatening to make for a week. Stuffed my face with a couple of them and the rest will be individually wrapped and stashed in the freezer.

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!
