Thanks Knobby. My coworkers were just so weak they had no appetite and were not able to get out of bed. Mine was just a headache and upset stomach with vertigo at times while lying in bed. The kiddies that had it were out all week and their parents said it was awful. I was very fortunate...
We only got a couple of inches but with the brutal winds it is so cold outside. It will be brutal all this week and then be more like March weather after this round which makes me so happy!!! My flock got a new dressing of wood shavings and clean water to go with their food so they are happy...
I never pay much attention to the wind chill, we always go by the original temps in order to have school cancelled. It will be cold tomorrow morning but we will all survive and hopefully all of the buses will start after sitting since last Thursday in all of this cold weather. My Ducks were...
It was -8F when I woke up this morning, no school again, Thank You Lord, it is now 4 above which is better. I am finally seeing the ducks start to stir around but I will wait until 2pm when it will be 11 above to go out to feed and water them. Hopefully my spigot will work fine outside. I...
So glad to hear that you are alright. You could have gotten hyperthermia in this cold really easy. One time when I was tubing I was in the front tube and the rest of them accidently shoved me onto a frozen stream that I fell through. We were a long ways to the friends house we were at and I...
Cold Knobby, Cold!!! Ducks are all fine and my Muscovy gals have given me two eggs twice lately. They are like gold because it has been so long since I have gotten any at all. I dropped one and almost cried but managed to fry it up for the dog so she was hoping I would drop the other one...
All of the goats went to good homes and so did the rest of the ducks. I was so happy about that. I am glad that soon you will be able to add to all of those beautiful acres you have. My setup is limited and 22 ducks is quite a bit for me. They are all doing well though and seem happy. I...
You too Knobby. The three ducks I rescued are doing well but sure are eating their fill. I felt so bad for them being starved to death it seemed. They are all doing well though, just big ducks so big eaters, lol.
I am not fond of snow, it's pretty but a mess to drive the kids in and a mess period. After all, the way I look at it is it's a 4 letter word and Momma always said don't use those! LOL
Our Christmas break was more like a spring break and now when we are supposed to go back winter is going to hit hard. I will have fun cleaning 10 inches or more of snow off of my snowbus, I mean school bus. lol
We are supposed to be getting around 10 inches starting tomorrow afternoon. My shovel will be worn out by the time this storm passes over and so will I!!!! I am glad that you have all of that equipment and I pray we don't lose power. It will be brutally cold.
We got a couple of inches where I am Knobby and more to be expected Monday. It looks like January will stay below freezing for quite a while. I miss those warmer temps.
Happy New Year to you and everyone else. I brought my hose in finally and gave the duckies more shavings so for now we are ready. I hope you are too!!!
