My Snow Boots
Since I cannot post a picture on my blog I will describe them for you. Yay! I have seven inches of snow. The city is shut down. Remember, I live in the South. I have no boots, not even boots as a fashion item.
Two of the smaller Walmart bags worked just fine. I taped them on above the ankle and was set to go. They worked to go feed the hens and then to go to the road for the mail. The flakes were the size of quarters and nickels. Now, five hours later, the flakes are a little smaller. More snow is predicted.
When I went to feed the hens, none of them rushed the door to get out. I fed them one hefty meal today--two cups of oats and corn lots of cooked chicken with skin and abundant meat. They have plenty of warm water.
So, I m snowed in. The day was a Winter Wonderland in my yard. I marveled at the snow on bushes limbs and my car. This is a history-making snow. Although it is 31 degrees F it is not as cold feeling because there is no wind.
Now I have to cook something warm. Okay maybe I will eat snow in the form of snow ice cream.
Your turn
Are you getting snow in an area that gets little to no snow? Do you eat snow ice cream? Have you used plastic bags over your shoes to go out in the snow?

DeleteLOL I really need to get rubber boots for spring mucking around in the hens' pen. I am tired of the cold with or without this snow1
Sounds like my neck of the woods, too.
ReplyDeleteCherdo,
DeleteWhere Gill is located?
Seven inches of snow! This has been the topsy-turvy winter, that's for sure. All my southern friends and relatives get to find out what it is like for us up in Maryland. And we get to find out what it's like in New England. I guess for them, it's the north pole.

LOL! Oh my goodness I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have boots! Cowgirl boots, mud boots, snow boots, rain boots,hiking boots...nope can't be without my boots!
ReplyDeleteME,
DeleteI prefer sandals. Boots are too hot.
Did I read it right? You feed your chickens "cooked chicken"?
ReplyDeleteKay B,
DeleteYes, I never feed them raw meat. They love chicken to eat.
