I am still snowed in. Seems I could get my four-wheel drive down the road, but I would never get back up. So, when Ann comes home this afternoon, I will walk down and meet her, and then we will walk up.
It is sunny and the sky is blue, but it is still cold.
The chickens [...]
I just may have to put my Christmas lights back up. I don’t know when we will dig out of here. I am doubting we will see schools opened until mid week. Ann is still in Cherokee with no power, but says it is coming up the road. I hope so.
I kept busy mastering Mario [...]

We did not get out foot of snow….yet…and it is only spitting some sleet right now. They say we can get one to three inches of icy mix, but we shall see.
Here is some humorous irony. Ann stayed in Cherokee last night so that she could actually get to work. She and a [...]
Three in the afternoon:
Four hours later:
I think we have about six inches already. One of the cats made the design in the snow. Our electricity popped off once for a second, but it came right back on.
We are supposed to get a massive dumping of snow AGAIN. I have prepared, but do hope we do not lose power like the last time. If we keep power, I have plans to make dog biscuits, oatmeal cookies, soup, and orange marmalade. If we lose power I have plans to not panic, and just [...]

And lots of it. The almost two feet of snow melted and made the ground spongy. Now we have had a lot of rain, and the ground has had trouble absorbing it. We have become mud farmers once again. We have many layers of road bond on our driveway, but you would not know it. [...]
Ann found my video camera on my desk. Yes, I have a messy desk. I think the chickens are enjoying their new coop, but they have been picking on Lil Sprout a bit. I will have to keep my eye on them.
The door to the coop sat under the snow for almost four weeks, which [...]

After all these months, the chickens are in their new home. Maria came down at the exact time we were going to move them. I had an elaborate plan as to how to transfer them, but Maria and Ann convinced me that the chickens could be caught easily and carried to the new house. I [...]
We had a great day today and really worked hard. We finished just as it really started to rain, so the photos are a big dark. Tomorrow we have to get some straw and place landscape timbers along the side to keep creatures out. Then Monday we can move the kids in. That alone will [...]
