I don't mean that in a not nice way at all...but after the expensive water line, the stove, the washer, and dryer, and the hot water tank, ...it's nice not to be alone.

The coop is appears to still be standing, but I can't get to it. Even so, last time I peeked in there (looking for a bucket) I could see it was not secure to keep chickens safe and it's in an even more precarious state because a groundhog made a significant burrow under the foundation (no more explanation about that needed, I think). Richard would have to build a coop. He is now 3 years behind on the bathroom remodeling project, the dog pen he bought in the Spring is not put up yet... and so it goesLeilani Schuck Weatheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517660684870960794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-29115588910637514892014-01-04T17:47:17.187-06:002014-01-04T17:47:17.187-06:006 more inches to our already 9 on the ground tonig...6 more inches to our already 9 on the ground tonight.

It took me forever to shovel the drive and the walk this morning, but I had to go to a funeral. Kind of hard to get around with a car on unplowed streets, but I managed to get there and back without incident. Sure do love my front-wheel drive and ABS brakes. It will be COLD tonight as the skies are beginning to clear.
