We got a freeze last night down to 28. I havent checked the blueberries but they might be OK. DH said that they only had little buds on them.
Big commotion out in the coop this morning and we're up to three eggs today! Yay! We have golden comet chickens and they are pretty noisy (proud) when they lay an egg. We have three laying boxes out in the coop and of course they all want to lay in the same one at the same time it seems LOL. I take them a treat every day in the afternoon. Today they got some spinach and grapes. They go bananas for grapes although there are a couple that just love the spinach. There isnt much green out there so not much to nibble upon. I went out with DH in the early evening. He likes to see them before they go to bed and it relaxes him after putting in a long day at work. Lucy wouldnt go up on his shoulder while I was out there. I think she has a thing for DH ;)
The cats are out except for Tikki who has decided that the only time to go out is in the early morning and after dark. He has such delicate skin and is so worried about getting sunburned LOL.
Hope your day is going great!
Talk to ya later!

Peepers
We heard the first peepers last night. Hope they dont get frost bitten cause it's supposed to freeze tonight. Crazy frogs were jumping all over the roads last night. Hubby was trying to miss them and actually did but you know the person behind us didnt try to avoid them.
Our blueberries have buds on them. Think we will have to kiss them goodbye with the frost coming tonight but hope not.
Has anyone started their seedlings yet?

Bee Article -
Bees have been dying off around the world for a decade now from a phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD. A third of the U.S. food supply depends on the honeybee
The collapse of bee colonies is probably multifactorial, rather than a response to one type of toxic assault; one major factor is the toxicity of systemic pesticides, such as Clothianidin (made by Bayer)
One Colorado beekeeper named Tom Theobald exposed the EPA’s complicity with Bayer in allowing Clothianidin to market without honeybee safety studies
An average of six different pesticides were found in hives across the country, with one hive testing positive for 31 different pesticides, in one recent study
More than 75 percent of the honey on American supermarket shelves is not honey at all, but rather an ultra-processed mixture of sugar-water, malt sweeteners, corn or rice syrup, jaggery, barley malt sweetener and other additives, smuggled in from China and tainted with illegal antibiotics and heavy metals, such as lead

I went, I saw and I conquered...
Well not really but I did go to therapy again today. Boy oh boy did she hurt me but I can move my shoulder better tonight. I have to go back on Wednesday and got new exercises to do tomorrow as well. Yippee...yuck.
Our chickens are giving us about two eggs every other day and look like they are out of molt now. Our friendliest one, Lucy, also known as Lucy-Goosey, has a new trick. Hubby likes to go out and pick her up and she must like it too because if you dont pay attention to her she pecks your leg. Anyway she was being held by said Hubby when she flapped her wings and flew up and landed on his shoulder. She is a character. She also has gotten up onto his head before and pecked (very lightly) his hair. She has pecked my leg before if I dont pay attention to her too but she likes Hubby better I think LOL.
We had severe storms last night and there is still flooding in parts around our area. I guess the almanac was right when they said we were going to have a wet winter. I sure wish that some of the rain would hold off until summer though cause that is when we really need it.
Talk to ya later!

Well that went well...
Went to therapy and they hurt me. I expected that though so no problems. I got diagrams of the exercises I am to do twice a day. My shoulder actually doesnt hurt so much this evening especially after I did a second set of exercises but boy did that wear me out so off to beddy bye for me. I know its late but I had to catch up on some of this work cause those darn fairies did not do anything while I was away today. I'm up early in the morning to work some more (gotta pay for that therapy).
We're getting some storms blowing in tonight and tomorrow morning. Hope everyone is not getting too much snow where you are!
Just checked my stats. Sure do have a lot of people from the US that read my blog along with people from Russia, France and Germany and many other countries. It really is a small world isnt it? I appreciate each and every one of you that read my blog. Dont all be lurkers though, let me know what's on your mind.
Sleep Tight!

Does it hurt here?....
Yep I broke down and went to the doc yesterday. Finally after three months of dealing with my shoulder/arm I went. He gave me a steroid shot in my bursa which if you dont know is the cushion between your shoulder and arm. He had to pull down on my arm to get in there and today it is seriously hurting big time. I have to go to therapy today in a few hours which will hurt just getting there as I have a stick shift. Doc said I have a frozen shoulder. I really hoped to avoid that. In 2008 I had adhesive capsulitis on my left arm and went through the same thing only I could move it less but this time I kept doing my exercises so I could move my right arm and shoulder a little. Bursitis hurts. Doesnt matter which joint its in. I hope that the therapist can work it out cause if they cant and it just keeps getting worse then I will have to go to a surgeon. The surgeon will knock me out and manipulate it. I would be out of commission for at least two weeks...sigh.
You hit 50 and its all downhill LOL.

GM mosquitoes
Yep those darn scientists have done it again. They are releasing GM mosquitoes in Florida. They have had their genes modified so that they die off instead of reproducing. The scientists are hoping that these GM ones will mate with the regular mosquitoes and it will make the population go way down. Hmmm, do ya think that they werent really thinking here? I know, I know that this will cut down on mosquito borne diseases but and here's a big BUT, what do you think is going to happen to all those birds and bats and such that eat mosquitoes...hmmm scientists? Do you think that maybe you got brains but no common sense? Just cause you can do something doesnt mean you should. Your mommas should have slapped some sense into ya. We'll be seeing some birds dying off big time from this fiasco just wait and see. Maybe that's what is killing the birds now. The experts are saying that it is mass bird suicide or trucks run into them and so on but what if it is the mosquitoes? And who knows maybe they have other bugs they are working to become GM's and have already released them but havent told us poor fuddlebrained yokels about them because we just wouldnt understand.
I'm just shaking my head right now...

What strange weather...
Very very strange. Yesterday we had severe thunderstorms and flooding and today we had snow and falling temps. There is ice on the roads too.
News on the home front: Two chickens are now back to laying not just one like before. We are up to two eggs every other day YAY! Had to resort to some store bought eggs for a month there but back to really good eggs now. Now if we could just get the mud out of their run. Nothing like sinking an inch when I go to feed them. It's like glue too.
