WooHoo!!! We have blue skies and Sun!!!

:weee :celebrate :weee

If memory serves, it has been weeks since we saw cloudless skies and Sun!

We got 2" of snow last night - overnight temps in the 20's so it is a crunchy snow. The dog's are loving it. Here they are play-fighting.

Here is a pic of Violet "guarding" the goats just inside the goat's loafing shed, yesterday in the rain. If you look closely, you can see Leon just behind her. So, they have a truce going on. :celebrate

Here is Deo resting in the open kennel, out of the pouring rain, yesterday.

I think Violet likes to keep the goats where she wants them.:)
Glad the herd king is accepting the dogs now!
Love to see pups growing up with their charges!

:thumbsup

The chicks are coming right along. :D

We are now keeping the 2 Cornish Cross's separate from the rest of the chicks and Guinea keets for 12 hours a day, so they don't eat too much, and grow too fast. Don't want them having a heart attack before we can butcher them at 7-9 weeks. They are growing fast - already seem twice as big as the Buff Orpington chicks.

Yesterday was the first beautiful, sunny day in more than two weeks, so I spent several hours just hanging it with our backyard herd. It was pure heaven! I walked around and sat in a tree stump taking photos. It's late and I need to hit the hay. But I promised someone I would post a pic of my four chickens, that I call "Fluffy Butts".

That's the roo - CoCo on the right and RIR (Rhode Island Red) on the left.

:lol: I just realized . . . if you look closely, you can see a heart on each of their fluffy butts. :lol::gig

Well, our sun, on Saturday, turned to rain yesterday morning, and it hasn't stopped raining since then. :hit We had 2-1/2" if rain in our garden wagon, as of 5:30 this afternoon. But, it has been raining hard since then.

We drove 6 miles South of here, to go to the store and the narrow gravel road we usually take was flooded, with soggy drainage running on both sides. So, I had to carefully turn our pickup around, so we wouldn't get caught in the mud! :ep

We ended up taking the gravel road, that runs in front of our house. There was flooding on the sides of the road, but it wasn't flooded. When we came home, though, it was flooding across in two different places along the 1/2 mile of road we had to drive. I could still see the road through the water, so I drove through it. :fl:ep:fl I think we are staying close to home tomorrow. :th

We're getting it here too.... sigh. I don't think we've ever been any wetter than we are right now.

Be careful and stay safe!
