JUSTUSNAK...Summer coming to an end!?

[modern_pioneer]

Dr gave me amoxicilin 10 days worth. My local pharmacy is giving free antibiotics to folks over winter, so it was free.

I hope you don't mind me posting a pic on your journal, if so I can remove it. I just wanted you to see your not alone and we are in this together!!

Sorry about your poorly chick, can't your DH cull the little guy for you?

Could raise him, do like they do with kobi beef, and sell his meat/whole cleaned carcass for 90.00 or some off the wall price. Hey, thats being SS!!!

Ya know MP....if I wasnt so darned tired of seeing this white death...I would say...Pretty pic!! I dont mind you posting a pic.... here is one for ya too...this is just from this morning....IM DONE WITH IT! LOL

Hubby wont off the chick. Heck, he is still learning tobe a "country boy" He wont help process meaties either. I dont mind so much....most of time. BUT, when TSHTF, he WILL learn, really fast! LOL

Snow is a 4-lettered word here, too.

And I'm SICK of the S N O W....

I am almost willing to brave a move to Florida....even if it does put us closer to the inlaws....we could just stay on the opposite side of the state...............





We were talking Georgia, today...I do have my dad's side of the family there, and my Dad is buried there....and it's just a hop and a skip to my step Mama's in Alabama......

Goergia.....Ahhh, Georgia sunshine....Georgia peaches... Nuff said...I wish I was in Georgia!!!
We have 8 inches of new "stuff" and getting about 1/2 in an hour still! WHAaaaaaaa!! I want SUMMER!!!

DW and I both don't mind the snow for a short time, or in the inches. But come on, were in the feet now and some how I just keep thinking "where is this stuff coming from?" and it just keeps falling like there is no end in sight.

I am also thankful for my wood heat and sure glad now I did split extra wood, in my pic thats what is under the blue tarp. I am able to store 2 cords inside the garage, though only enough room to park my tractor and a narrow walk way to get to the heater. Now I have just 3/4 of a cord left inside and that will last just another week this time of year. I use my boiler as a back-up and heat with wood 24 hours a day when its this cold out.

I can't say I miss GA either or the red dirt down at Ft Benning GA. There is a lot of my sweat in that soil as well as blood and I think some tears. I spent nearly 3 years on/off that base. I also spent 128 days straight in the field when I was in the Army. That reminds me of a old story I will journal!!! Its a gut buster!!!!

Stay warm/healthy. Also I have tried a new tea by Bigelow Tea its called Wild Blueberry with Acia. I drank a whole box over the weekend. I mixed a teaspoon of honey, and it was yummy!!

 

[justusnak]

Ohhhh, that tea sounds yummy!!! I just LOVE tea!!
Im with you on the wood thing. SO glad we split extra. We "should " have plenty to get us completely through. I think thre are 4 ricks....maybe 5 left out there. We started with 15.
I USED to like the snow...so pretty...fresh...clean...and then it came...and came..and came...and its STILL coming!
I took a few more pics while I was out doing chicken chores....this is the view, from my coop, to the barn. I make this walk 2 x's a day. When there is no snow...its not bad..but in almost 2 feet of snow..well, it just plain SUCKS!

This one is from the coop to the house...not too bad...but the snow is so deep...and I can tell ya, IF I fall down...I wont be makeing snow angels with the words I will be saying. Will be more like snow devils!

Brrrr, I am so glad for my woodstove!!

The snow is still coming down here, too.

I keep playing with the chicks, telling myself spring is just around the corner....

I think if we were used to having snow like this every winter, this wouldn't seem like that big of a deal to us.

Have our fifth pot of coffee on....lol

I don't think I have as far as you to walk, just, to the barn and the coops....I'll try to get pics of mine when I go out to do the chores in a minute....

 

[modern_pioneer]

Mine is right outside the back door, here threw my new window in the dining room. Sorry ladies...

Glad I am not addicted/love chickens like you two.. I'd be build one back behind the shop!!! Then I would have to hike like yuns do everyday, can't hardly get back there as it is now...

Now if I had room for some piggies..... I'd have two a year and raise them on my own feed.

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

I forgot to take my camera with me for chores, so I snitched a pic out the back door.

It's roughly 100 ft to the coops, I think...we use 100 ft extension cords from the pole light to the coops...and they are more than long enough.

IF I had it my way, the coops would be much closer to the house, but my husband doesn't think he'd like having coops right out the back door....

Did someone say snow? Boy, I wish I had some snow.......

This swing and chairs are now covered and one can barely see them...this pic was taken after the first little snow we had this year....little did I know. I've stopped taking pics now......

Gotta admit, this has been a real winter! None of that sissy stuff with a few flakes here and there...this is a he-man winter!
