Hey now - don't hate, lol!
But, if it makes you feel better we're getting our own dose of winter starting tomorrow. (after a high near 70 today!) By Monday night we'll be in the low 20's. Not nearly as bad as some of you folks, but that's pretty rough for us. We're not set up for that kinda cold and it's a massive mess to get everything ready for it. That will be my focus today and tomorrow morning before the mercury starts dropping...ugh. This will be the first hard freeze we've had in three years! As much as I'm not looking forward to it - we need it. It helps kill off all the bugs!
I'm gonna move the trailer that I just got set up as a chicken motel. But, I want it in a different location that I'll be able to access even if it gets muddy and cruddy out there. Then I'll bed it down real good and move some chickens in there that I want outta my yard! They keep pooping on the porch. Now, what would a chicken find so interesting on a porch? No food, no water, nothing to scratch in or eat - but they insist on making it their headquarters and I'm just not gonna have it. Stoooopid chickens!
Better get to it - don't wanna waste the last pretty day for awhile!
