night crates cleaned and ducks bathed

(bath time when the ducks were babies)

so if there IS crap weather......we're ok

i couldn't get phoebe (WHY is it always phoebe???) to finish her bath so maybe today she'll get a shower when she comes in

yesterday i did angus, i picked up 9 roasts that varied in size from 3# up to 6# At 1.49 a pound!

i cut stew meat and steaks and grilling chunks i am going to pick up another 12 or 15 today i think and put them away, as roasts and steaks

we should be set on that stuff for a while, i really should get another 20 and grind it up into chopmeat too but i don't know how to use my parents meat grinder (that's next on the list...a meat grinder)

i will need to stock pork and chicken next but i have some of that so no rush

seeds: i am going to start leeks i think over the weekend and impatients, i still need to put up the seed starting plant lights ( here and in the basement, as i want to grow them all cold)

btw, i found evidence that the chickens DO keep the pipes from freezing.....as we had a bottle of dish soap in the room without chickens and it did freeze......! yeah for chickens in the basement in the winter

i need to get back to the studio organizing, as i have all these drawings backed up in my head and they need to get out

however, since the drafting table lights don't have electric run to them......ahem..makes it hard you know....

maybe over the weekend?

i did get the kitchen partly done yesterday along with the meat, and today i am going to finish it after the meat is here

(i am leaving in a few to go and get the next batch of meat)

meanwhile i have to say, the 'warmer' weather is great for my sleep and also for the wood supply

it's conserving both

this is a very good thing

oh and thaddeaus is finally growing his hair back again

at the END of the winter.....has anyone noticed that?
