The Old Folks Home

Pull out this year's seed catalogs. When she says it's not time for that yet, look sad and say you need something to distract you from them.

He usually gets what he asks for, within reason. Sad, puppy dog eyes usually work.

When the power goes out here, the furnace doesn't run. Or the well pump. We have a generator, but don't run it constantly. So the woodstove keeps us warm. We would be lost without it.

I'm dreading the day we're too old to cut and split our own wood. Hopefully that is 15-20 years away. Or at least 10.

Hubby finally got a wood splitter. He is 67 years old.

The moult is history, chickens are well dressed and with the temp in the teens, they are laying again. Yay for good eggs again! I'm glad for all the green grass

This is something I should post in the "Things you wish you could say" thread.

After 59 years together he is very spoiled!

OMG, I don't even want to go there. I was on Facebook changing my "chicks for sale" posts and saw all the whiners and misguided people about why their chickens weren't laying. A couple are even back to "Are you feeding them TSC food?" I was laughing at some of those replies.

My Delaware pen has slacked way off but the RIR girls and their Daughter pullets are all laying well. Short days or not. Most other small lot breeds also have slacked way off. I'm skeptical of how the two Dark Cornish pullets hatch will turn out. My Bresse Girls rarely give me a single egg now.

Ayyyy

You're blessed to have been able to be together that long.
