Chickens Are Laying Once Again

After the chickens molted (the time to renew plumage where they lose and replace their feathers) we are now getting fresh eggs.  With the chickens new feathers, they look so pretty!  How I missed having the farm fresh eggs for cooking! 

Our first eggs after the molting

Our Barn Cats Favorite Spot in Winter

The cats favorite spot is under the light that we turn on to prevent the pressure tank from freezing in the barn.

Freezing Fog and Drizzle

Everyone will be ready for a long pretty spring and warmer temperatures!

Snow on the Farm

Time for these shoes!

What beauty with the snow!

Chores 

The water hoses have to be emptied of water or the water will freeze inside and no water will come through.

Hay is a necessity and a larger "serving" is given during bad weather

Buttercup may think, "Enough of this white stuff!"

Our "Big" February Snowfall from Storm # 1

After having received 6 inches of snow Mother Nature is proving she still knows how to provide winter weather!  In fact, this first week of February shows 3 winter storms with very cold temps that will impact Oklahoma.

Our Dusting of Snow

A small dusting of snow fell today.  I think it surprised the weathermen that it stayed around as long as it did.  It was very pretty falling (looking from the inside out)!

The colder temps are what makes you want to be inside where it is warm!

A Dry January

January proved to be the 6th driest month in Oklahoma.  Could the drought be trying to come back?  We were in hopes it would not after having moisture last spring for plenty of grass and hay.
Now with the dryness and tall grass, wildfires are a threat.
