As I sit here and type, we have 28 degrees! The furnace has kicked on a few times and jackets are coming out of the closet. Long johns, too, I suspect. The garden is cleaned off and debris bagged to break down over the winter and then be tilled in next spring. We’ve become overrun with those tiny gnats we call no-see-ums. They can even get inside thru the window screens, on our clothing and hair. They have one heck of a bite that itches terribly. We could certainly use some of the rain you’ve gotten recently. We’ve not had any appreciable rain since mid-August. Farmers got their crops out, hauled home to store in bins or to the elevators, and many have finished their fall tillage and are looking to buy a brand new pickup or car, or equipment before they take extended vacations down south. Many winter where snow does not usually fall, then in spring, they return to do it all over again.
I’m sorry that you have only one hen left. I so enjoyed stories about Hug-Me. Do you plan to get more hens?
