Ladies are doing their Jobs
Our hens are doing their jobs. They are averaging almost an egg each every day...That is really good for anytime but in the shorter, colder days of winter that is fantastic. I am proud of Emma, Mary Louise, Jeffy, et, al.are doing well.
Cold Mid-Winter Morning in Mississippi
It is a cold mid-winter morning in Central Mississippi and I took the time to sit on my porch and do a little bird watching this morning. We have had a lot of precipitation here over the past couple of weeks, ending a very dry autumn and early winter. Last week the precipitation came in the form of sleet and snow accompanied by temperatures in the single digits with windchills below zero. In spite of the unusually cold weather, ths morning I saw my first robin of the season. It appears they have started their journey back north and we are one of their first stops.
My grandfather, Pop, told me that when you see birds feeding frantically onthe ground, prepare for bad weather. Well, they were doing just that. I saw sparrows, robins, crows, black birds and even a flicker on the ground. Though the weather man doesn't predict it, those birds are seldom wrong.
I hope all is well in your part of the world.
Until next time......John
