Okay, spring is supposed to be here. So what’s up with these sub-zero temperatures. Yesterday morning we woke up to a temperature of 1 below zero. That is without the wind chill factor – and oh, was that wind chilly!!! The day before I had let the chickens out of their little night box. I figured they could spend the night outside if we got home too late to put them up for the evening. Ooh, was I wrong. I’m glad my husband suggested rounding them up before we left the ranch on our errands. Otherwise I would have been chicken hunting in the icy night with the wind howling up my coat. Either that, or we’d have had chicken popsicles in the morning.
I was so looking forward to spring. My boys are getting the fever. They are already dreaming of bikes and skate boards. Never mind we still have over a foot of snow on the ground and it doesn’t look to be going anywhere soon. We have been collecting wood from the forests. Never making the pile too big, it’s wishful thinking that we won’t be needing it soon. The problem with that is that we keep running out and having to go get more. Maybe if we make a great big pile it will suddenly warm up and spring will be here for real.
Here’s to wishful thinking!!!!
