      It was cold that day. God has blessed us with this place. I think it’s beautiful all year round.

          Don't suppose there is a better egg than those, gathered as soon as they are laid. Bring on the bacon:smiling: .

          Not long until those cucumbers start to fill out either Lee. plenty of water no doubt.

            Hi Lee
            Very beautiful. Snow is beautiful so often. We kept hens in Scotland and there was nothing better than fresh laid eggs.

                Nowt beats a fresh laid egg. The couple next door keep us supplied. As do the couple across the road! At the last count we had about 30 egg in the fridge. (good thing we like eggs!)

                Love the snow photos. I always say that snow is a great gardener lol. A fresh snow fall and every ones garden looks great.
                I would love to see that wagon in the spring/summer.

                    Well if it isn’t 100 degrees we have lost of rain and it’s not good this year on my garden. I am getting some tomatoes and a few cucumbers. I have to beat the squirrels to my tomatoes they pick them off take a few bites and leave it in the yard and the rabbits are eating the flowers off my squash just not a good year for me and my garden but the Chickens are laying very well.

                      Which will it be, more fencing material or will you introduce " Old Mary " to the crew?

                        Rick. I hate to bring out “Old Mary” 20 gauge and I really don’t feel like the fence thing so I guess I’ll have to put out the Blood Meal again Rabbits hate it

                          What with Rick's bears, and your Rabbits Lee think our mad Blackbird ( she who pulls out all young plants whilst looking for grubs .) Is a minor hindrance.
                          The cucumbers look ok I find when they get too big they become tough and loose that fresh flavour.
                          Pity about the squirrels, don't suppose even netting would put them off .

                            The little buggers go through it like it isn't there! We have had a fox hanging around so he takes his toll on the chipmunks and other rodents available. Sometimes the only solution is to let " Old Mary "

                              John. I think I’ll put the blood meal out and see what happens last year it worked great blood meal is an organic type soil that you pour out for fertilizer but it has a real awful smell rabbits hate

                              Rick heard some good news about 4 AM this morning when I was leaving for work it was a pack of coyotes down in the valley hollering and barking so maybe my rabbit situation will leave soon
