snows thawing and uncovering dog and horse poo everywhere! what a mess, will be long day tidying up.
I've just worked out how many 'poo heaps' there will be in my garden when the snow finally all disappears - 14 days x 5 dogs x twice a day - 140 heaps, perhaps more as the young ones do more than 2 a day! :-[ ::) ::)
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Laura, I hope your forecast is wrong!! According to Metcheck, is is going to be fine but colder at night until Thrusday night  - snow and Friday bad snow! I choose to believe them for now  ;D How did you cope with your conservatory? I still did not get out today, the drive is thawing pretty slowly  :P Christmas shopping tomorrow, the girls will have to start shoveling I think! :&>

Snow still here, and last night was the coldest yet all chickens doing OK and seem to be coping well enough I am not liking this snow one bit there is no pleasure just drudgery. Frozen water and frozen feet.

I filled both coops with straw yesterday to try to keep them a wee bit warmer during the night.

Pity the birds dragged most of it out today   :-\
