| The girls with all the straw they have pulled out into their run. |
Monday 2/16. Another cool but gorgeous day. I vacuumed before lunch in order to give the batteries a chance to recharge.
JB used the tractor bucket to partially fill the empty raised garden bed, first with some straw and then dirt. I used a rake to level it out. Then we took the chains off Miss Kitty's front wheels. Didn't think it would be too good for her to have those on with all the mud. According to the weather forecast, we will probably have to put them back on in a couple weeks as we are supposed to get snow at the end of the month.
I also picked up small branches that had been broken by the wind around the house. Swept off the porch.
Clouds drifted in from the north, but blew on past. Our high for the day was 38.
Tuesday 2/17. The day began with 30 degrees and clear skies. I am so enjoying all this sunshine!
We are getting a few wasps in the loft almost every day now, but not nearly as many as we have had in past years.
On cold days, when the sun finally hits the metal outside of the house, it expands with groans and clicks. Sounds that take some getting used to, but after almost seven years, have become just a part of the background.
Not quite sure where today went. We both puttered around inside and out. JB still working with his new computer, and today he baked some lemon-poppy seed bread. Our high for the day was 40, but it sure didn't feel that warm.
The girls gave us one egg yesterday but none today. They continue to pull straw out of their house and into the run. Whatever keeps them happy. . .
I am going Down There tomorrow for a "quick" run to pick up the water filter, do some errands, and get a few groceries - especially bananas for the girls.
Wednesday 2/18. It is 32 and clear this morning, with a warm 51 forecast for Down There today.
Thought for the day: The dentist says I need a crown. Finally someone agrees with me! (On a t-shirt that my Aunt Nene wanted to get for me.)
