Binker Hunkers Down

Not to worry about the rabbit, Binker is keeping low and warm in this snowy weather.

The only thing Binker needs help with is a frozen water bottle.  At least twice a day we need to thaw it out and add new water.  This weather is nothing for this pro.

Not Big Fans

 The good thing is that they keep each other warm.

Momma, please make it stop.

The best thing we have to date...heated water bucket!

I'll come out if you bring me a treat.

I like eating snow.

Boogie says who care, I'm going to have lunch.

Boogie needs to work on his sharing skills.

Chickens Are Not Snow Lovers

There are not many feet prints in the snow.

Breakfast is served.

My Three Boys

It has been awhile since I have been allowed to go out to check on the animals.  Michael and Mark have been taking really good care of them.  I've just been able to sit in my chair and look out the sliding glass door.  But now I have three little goat paintings from my friend Moey, that have been framed thank you to my son-in-law Trevor.

Just A Little White Stuff

Girls aren't too happy about the white stuff.  The newest place to take cover since Mark trimmed the bushes...behind the hot tub.  And I am guessing it might be warm back there too.

Scoot was checking it out.

Boot kinda likes it but Boogie says no way, no not me.  I'm not going out there.

Can you tell that I am in love with my garden stone? Until spring it will be int he house.

Couldn't Be Happier

I ordered this stepping stone back in the spring from a high school friend.  I told her what I wanted and she came up with a design.  I asked if she could put some cobalt blue in it and she did.  Without realizing it she put our Sunny in the center.  Looks just like her.

I picked it up yesterday and could not be more pleased!  I love and I can't wait to get it home to find the most perfect place for it.

And the other best thing is that we plan to have lunch the next time I'm in Huntington.  Should be fun!  Thanks, Connie!

I Have Eggs Coming Out Of My Ears!

So I needed to step away from the computer for awhile so I decided to go out to weed a bit.  And look what I found under the burning bush...a pretty good size egg.  I'm thinking one of my sweet girls didn't want to make a run for the cook during a downpour and just let one drop while she was taking cover under the bush.  A girl's gotta get rid of an egg when it is time!  Needless to say, this one is in the compost bin.

I gotta 'em, who needs 'em?

There Is Always Something....

...different about my girls.

One weekend when I was away Emmy was in charge of the animals.  She found this very small egg.

Then tonight I found this perfectly normal size egg in a nest of goat feed that somehow had gotten on the ground in the most perfect shape of a nest.

SMH

It has been raining for a few days.  Guess they don't like getting their feet wet!

Someone found the compost gathering bowl.  I am almost positive everyone will know about it within the hour.

Funny thing with no pic to prove it.  I went out to fill the goat buckets with feed.  I found an egg.  Seems like a few of Pappy's girls have been living with the goats for a few days.

I Just Shake My Head

Our friends were watching over the farm while we were sunning our buns in the sand.  Usually, before we leave, we make sure that everyone is taken care of.  This means that we clean out their 'living space', refresh the water, and make sure that all food containers are full.  I made sure the girls had plenty of shavings in their coop and nesting boxes.  I guess I put a little too much....no one laid any eggs in the correct spot...

They laid them where they are supposed to sleep.  This is the egg drop from Wednesday until Saturday evening.  And seems that only two of them are roosting in the larger chicken house.  They all want to be together in the red coop which is only designed for 6-8 birds.  I can see that happening this winter when it is cold...but now when it is so stinkin' hot?

I just love a pretty basket of eggs!

and then I find these to yahoos checking out the inside of the rabbit hutch.  Guess I better start checking her for eggs too.
