I was able to go catch some blue skies and icy trees this afternoon while doing my errands. I had to get out early before the sun melted it all. Everything was so sparkly. :-)
Even the turkeys were walking around in the ice, leaving their marks behind.
This was actually made the day before but the prints were there to meet me this morning when I went out to feed.
I took a scoop of feed out for the chickens, threw it out to them and when I come back to get more, this is what I find in the grain bucket. A very impatient chicken. I have learned to look in the bucket now before I put the cover on. My granddaughter fed a few days ago for me in the morning before school and that evening when I went to feed some more, there was a chicken in the bucket. She had been in there all day! lol Poor thing. At least she had plenty to eat.
Everything was quiet on the critter front today. Spent more time with all the goats. Goats at the barn and in my basement.
My husband and I spent some time planning what we will do at the barn in the stall for the new goat "nursery". I believe we are going to build a little den out of hay bales inside the stall. Something to keep them warm inside and then they can play and jump all over the top of it. I just have to go purchase some hinges to make a door, we have everything else needed.
I'm excited. I was filling up water buckets for the critters when I noticed my Morning Glory plant had left me some wonderful seeds to collect and store for next year. I have never collected flower seeds before, unless you want to count sunflower seeds. I have a great place in mind for some of them. There is a fence pole that is much taller than all the others. It's at the gate entrance. I have wanted to put a bird house at the top for a while now. I just keep forgetting. So, I will get the bird house installed and then plant some seeds at the bottom. If it grows right, it will be very pretty.
I am including a website that has great directions for planting your own Morning Glory seeds.
