Freezing Rain

It came in earlier than the last weather I had looked at. It started as I was walking home about 1:30. I put the chickens up even earlier today and they went in without arguing. But they don't like wet weather. I did have to hit a few things to break the ice off while I was outside. I spent most of the day inside. Just walked and played games. I need to do some crocheting tonight. I have a couple of things to finish and then start some new ones. So that will keep me busy. Hope you had a good day.

We didn't get cold as fast as predicted but we're still at 35F at 8:15 pm. At least the prediction for snow/rain mix was taken off the table... My brother came by at noon today and brought some groceries we didn't order... When I told him they weren't ours, he said he could still bring stuff to us even if we didn't order it. He's a goofball at times.

Ouch. I bet you'll be glad when the weather clears. Glad the chickens went in with little fuss.

It is cute to see chicken arguing when getting them to go back to their barns.

It's a lazy sunday here and I plan to do just the bare minimum. I have nothing much planned. I have a long week ahead. I want to get good rest. My daughter is crocheting right now. I wish I was also good at that

Looks like the weather caught you by surprise. The best part is the chickens cooperated – they may not like getting wet like how we humans do. Breaking off ice does not seem easy or fun but I guess you need to spend most of the day inside staying warm. That’s not easy at all. Crocheting looks a good way to stay busy for the evening. I would like to try perhaps when I get like more time. I definitely agree that finishing old projects and starting new are always satisfying and brings in a state of achievement. Hope the weather gets better and you have a great relaxing weekend ahead!

Aww, crocheting! That’s so sweet. Yesterday it rained all day but I had no plans aside from grocery shopping so that was fine. I even felt warm enough to leave the bedroom window slightly open to let the sound of the rain in and soothe me to sleep. Then I woke up at 4 for a toilet break, closed the window and got back to sleep.

@wolfgirl569 I can imagine! I was "brave" enough to try and luckily I didn't freeze right away. It didn't go as well other times before.
