The first chore of the day: cleaning out the chicken coup.
No more stepping on frozen chicken poop when gathering eggs
Next in line: clean, fresh bedding for the "ladies".
No more frozen crap under our feet
What to do the manure? Add it to the flower garden.
Seriously, a picture of chicken crap on the garden? Yes, Gardener's Gold come spring.
Now a little primping for the humans.
All the sheets washed and hung out to dry. They await our wind-burned cheeks.
Sprucing up "the spot"
Stopping to enjoy the view and watching a total of 5 bald eagles doing their stuff.
Great view of the creek valley and the beautiful clear sky
Could not pass the day without trying to catch a fish.
Picture tells the story for itself: not one fish caught
Fishing not biting, so tried ice skating.
Too slushy to glide on the blades
Ended the day with doing a few remaining chores. Cheeks burning as the air turns colder with sunset.
Awesome sunset as seen from the porch swing
Ahhh. I think today was needed. It was a nice reprieve to our winter. It felt so good to blow out the winter cobwebs of cabin fever.
We so enjoyed the day outside together. Days like today make it easy to realize how fortunate we are to live were we live, and how fortunate we are for our loved ones.
