Our tree and decorations are taken down just haven't gotten them to the storage building yet. Our Christmas lights are still up on the outside of the house. They've been up since Christmas 2011! Doesn't look like they will be taken down anytime soon either!

PQ- will you do a lambing thread or post here on your journal? I love the variety you have!
Vermont is so beautiful! Too bad it is soooo cold!

I bet you and my oldest two DD's would get along so wonderfully. Your heart is pure and sweet, at least that is how it comes across. My girls love to read your journal. Mine have a strength that is not like you see in too many teenage girls these days, yet the tenderness and kindness that just brings great joy!

Once the lambing jugs are ready...and sounds like your supplies are ready...then you can go look at everyone else's lambing and kidding threads and hope the time passes quickly for your own lambs to appear

I've been following all the baby threads and I think it is making things worse!

You should leave them up another year, see how many years you can get out of them. I once had a wreath (fake of course) on the front door for almost 2 years. I kept "forgetting" to pack it away.

I think that I'm going to put all the lambing stuff here. It is really cold, but we are surviving. It'll be warming up by this weekend and in the 30-40s next week. Phew!

Your family sounds wonderful! I too suspect that I would get along with your girls (especially the chicken slaughtering one!)

Remember this awkward looking thing???

Here she is 4 months later. I think she has turned out quite nicely! And no, she is NOT living in the house. I only brought her in for a few minutes to take her picture.

If you want to come south and warm up a bit... I have quite a few frizzles you are more than welcome too!!!

BTW- one is the slaughterer and tender of heart the other is a sheepie and "purple" lover! with a sharp witted tongue!

Girls after my own heart!

Frizzette is my token frizzle. You don't have any frizzles with the double frizzle gene do you?? Before my frizzle rooster died hit) I was going to make some frizzled d'Uccles. He was perfect for it because he was a double frizzle.

I am really trying to focus on Speckled Sussex for my standard birds and d'Uccles for the bantams and cut down on the other random chickens that are floating around.
