And I have heated hand grips now and DW is stuck with jacket pockets. I love 'em.
I'm a fair weather street rider. It has to be sunny and 70 before I take the bike out. I never get cold though!

Spring is now here. I heard and saw my first frogs today, out shopping I spotted girls in shorts and T-shirts.

Mmmm

The ice went out on the pond today. East Musquash in Topsfield is black, it won't be long.

Talking fuzzy butts

Hi, RHB

Fuzzy butts ordered:
3 Auracana
3 Buff Orpington
1 silver laced Wyandotte
1 gold laced Wyandotte
1 RI Red
1 Australorp
2 Speckled Sussex

The are 2 Leghorn banty hens in the new coop as of this evening. I finally took a couple of photos of them - chickens are really difficult to photograph! But the files are too large, and I don't know how manually to resize them...maybe some kind soul will write and tell me how?

The house was way easier to design than the chicken coop has been! Really. Good grief! For crying out loud, they're just chickens! Chickens! And I've used two "smack" icons talking about them!

I know nothing about chickens, but the fact that they are delicious.

Here all the daffodils have been out for a week and tulips are blooming.

We used to raise Buff Orpingtons. Very nice chickens! Mild mannered, quiet , and excellent eating. We'd always get a call from the Post Office when they arrived at 5:00 AM and I'd go get them. Post Office guys got a kick out of seeing them.
