Snowed today, so far we have 6" on the driveway. It turned to sleet earlier this evening, otherwise we'd probably have more snow on the driveway. It started snowing a little after 11.30 this morning. Schools had early dismissal so kids can be home safe before the heaviest of snow arrived. My work let us out early as well so I was home by 2.30 today.
Extra home time on a snow day with the family so we made some cookies.

I've been getting eggs every day from the juvenile hens. I know at least 3 of them are laying.
The one on the left must be from the Cuckoo Marans.

My chickens finally started laying again. When the days got short, they closed up shop. Now I'm getting 15 eggs a day :yesss: from ……. let's see.....11 in the garden coop, 10 in the pink coop, 4 in the hoop coop, 2 in the A frame coop, plus 2 silkies…..that makes 29 hens plus 3 roosters! WHOA! I shouldn't have counted my chickens before they laid.:jumpy And here I thought I was getting a lot of eggs. :hu

Do you sell your eggs? Some weeks I go through eggs faster than other weeks.
Yup, I have 3 steady customers. It pays for most of the feed. I supply our daughter and family with eggs. We love frittatas and make them often. I did do baking with them as well, but not on a low carb diet! No pound cake.....(uses 12 eggs)…..:hit

Hmm, good idea for breakfast tomorrow. Got 10 eggs today. I sold 2 dozen on Tuesday and already have nearly 2 dozen in the fridge.

So does Mama Wall's eggnog ;)

I'd be 105 years old by 2080. I may not have to worry about snow and ice at that time. ;)
PUP! I'll be 124. My daughters will be in their mid eighties. But of course it won't be a jump in 2080 to Arkansas weather in NYC, it will be a gradual change that we may all notice, certainly our kids will. Gonna do a number on the Vermont maple syrup industry.

Dear @Senile_Texas_Aggie ,

We will be getting some light snow (not too much, I think 1 -2 inches) this evening. The snow will turn to sleet and freezing rain then turn to all rain on Thursday. It's not going to be a major snow storm for us so that's good. However I really dislike sleet and freezing rain.
Family is doing well, not much exciting stuff around here. SSDD lol. DS did go out and play in the snow a few times. I have some pics to share but will do that later.
Thank you for asking. You're a good stalker. :)
