In the 07 ice storm here, we didn't have power for 9 days. It was fun at first. DH had to go to work and called home to tell me to go to the store to get ice to put on the meat in the freezer. I couldn't get the garage door open, no power, and I refused to buy ice in an ice storm...
Morning,
DH, who, knows alot about weather, says we will get alot of precipitation. Before the big ice storm and that Christmas Eve's snow it was very warm like it was Friday and yesterday - lots of moisture building up.
I look forward to it because I usually get some rare time to be...

My Mille Fleurs are decent...

Is the middle buck a harlequin? I have a harlequin doe that isn't marked very well, but I am going to try and breed her to a black Flemish.
MB,
Did you see the three Harlequin rabbits (what do you call a baby rabbit?) at Mary's Saturday? I have to stop looking at bunnies because...

Yeah for her too! I just love my chickens, Cochins are the teddy bears of the poultry world. I don't care if Al and ect. call them FuFu birds. I have nothing to prove with Macho chickens. I need stress relief and happy little fluff balls are just what the Doctor ordered.
LOVE MY...
