Snow Snow Snow!

It's snowing today. It snowed a little yesterday. It snowed a lot last week and the week before that. It must be Winter. What? it's not officially winter until December 22nd?? Looks like it's gonna be a loooong one.

The snow is piled up everywhere. I have a path shoveled out in my back yard so I can get to my chickens. The poor girls haven't been outside in a couple of days. If it stops snowing today, I'm going to let them out. It's warmer than 20 degrees today, at least. I go out every morning and give them fresh water, and fresh food. I have a duplicate waterer so I don't have to wait until one thaws out before giving them new water. They are pretty happy every morning that someone at least says hello to them - and hey - they are still alive, and that's what counts! This is with no extra heat, so I know that they are hardy enough to live in winter. And temperatures have been dropping to 10 or less some nights.

No doubt about it! We are going to have a White Christmas!
