Private entrance…

Running water and a light. Oh also, there is a space heater to thaw the water when you forget to shut it off at the house in the below freezing weather.

We told Cecil the rooster that new hens were coming.  His reply was:

Happy February! Is spring around the corner? We were suppose to get a snow storm Tuesday, but it seems to be gone. I always loved winter, and I never wanted it to go away. Not any more. I crave leaves on the trees, flowers, and sunshine.
