Snow's a blowin'

I am so proud to say that we did it!  We actually have power in our coop now.  Well, we've had power for a few days now, but I just haven't blogged about it yet.  The girls have a fluorescent "soft white" light fixture so that we can provide longer light periods.  Which means more eggs!  So at 4:30pm the light automatically comes on (we set a timer) and the hens come in and enjoy more "day" light.  We also have a heat lamp right now that shines on the metal water tank so it doesn't freeze up too much.  It is fantastic and I love it.  Today with all the snow the chickens are just huddled under the "cage" part of the coop.  They go inside to eat, drink, and lay eggs and that's about it.  If it were me I would stay in the coop all day!

Bison...Bison...Bison!  Love this dog.  He is melting my heart these days.  We have been working very hard with him and I haven't been feeling super "attached" yet.  However, he is really becoming a good dog and he is growing on me.  I think I maybe starting to "love" him...hee.  Also, can you see his ID tag?  It says BISON on it with a silhouette of a buffalo on it!  On the back is our address and telephone numbers!  I LOVE IT.  A lady in New York made it.  You can check her site out www.TagMePetTags.com Her name is Wendy and she custom made this one for Bison!  Very cool!

Here are the girls and Bison playing in our 16 inches of snow.  I didn't technically measure, but it is somewhere near 16 inches!  I do believe we are suppose to receive more!  So much fun!

I almost forgot to share this photo!  Before I started to shovel the snow off I snagged a photo of how much snow we did receive!!!  Maybe that is more than 16 inches!!!!!  I think we were NOT prepared for this.  We still had our summer picnic tables up!  HELP!  I did shovel and put away most of this stuff.  However, my sweet strong man will need to help me do the rest!  What would I do without that man???

This verse was printed on business cards for customers to take at our local Carter Country store where I get cat/dog food.  I love that they are bold enough to wear their faith on their sleeves!  Thank you.

Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created!  Psalm 119:90
