I have a 20 year old chapstick that’s been in a pocket in my purse that whole time.

It still smells ok so I still use it. But apparently not very often.It’s petrified.

This wave of the storm turned out to be nothing. Between the snow/rain/sleet/snow mix it ended up about 2" of grainy ice. Sticky on porches & cars but pretty much gone on the ground & nothing on the roads. 
It's cold out..... feels like mid-January
I've been looking forward since Nov to a Soup Tasting party this coming Sat. Several friends who I haven't seen in a while were bringing a home made soup, the recipe, & a muffin tin. I was providing cups to go in the muffin tins, a couple kinds of homemade bread, crackers & various soup toppers (green onions, bacon bits, sour cream, cheese, etc). Just a fun time to get together & catch up.
But it looks like they're calling for more snow Fri & Sat.
I'll keep an eye on the forecast - hope I don't have to cancel.

Our once a month Ladies of the 50’s lunch has been moved to Friday the 17th. Several said they’d probably have flooded roads. Not supposed to be ice or snow.

Leaning into this nocturnal life.
It's 10pm and Chaos & I just finished a 30min online yoga focusing on hip flexor, sciatic & lower back.
Struggled a bit to do some of the moves. But didn't get stuck on the floor or have any stabbing pains from my bad hip.
Actually, some of it felt pretty good.
Yeah me!
Hopefully this will become a daily thing

Chance of snow had dropped to 40%. Going to watch today & see if it drops anymore.
So far the 'menu' has : potato corn chowder, gumbo & peanut soup.
For farm news - is time to make some decisions in the chicken coop. Those hens that a friend gave me NEED to go, along with several of my older girls. I want to pick up a few chicks this year & start over.
I'm afraid that at least 1 of the 'freebie' hens is an egg eater (which explains why my friend stopped getting eggs). So I'll need to try & find out if any of the girls I'd like to keep have 'caught' the habit.
I need to decide if I want to go with T.S. chicks or pick up some at Gilmanor. T.S. starts getting chicks in Feb, I think.
Gilmanor is May 3 (@Mini Horses , @farmerjan are you going to be there?)
