Another Snow Storm - ENOUGH ALREADY




This is the three snow storm in six days - I love snow but really !!!

Monday morning the weatherman stated that there was NO SNOW for my neck of the plains - so what do you call this??? You know I sure would like a job where you could be wrong most of the time and still get paid - how about you??

I am sorry for not getting back to you all sooner. In between snow storms I have been busy as a one winged bee outside. If I was not picking myself up out of the mud ( wrong end of the body to do any good )that I slipped into while trying to dry out the barns, I was frantically cleaning the chicken coop out so the girls could see clean ground and start Spring (Yeah like that is coming anytime soon) with new bedding. I decided not to share the photo's of the mice I cornered and killed in the coop - for those who read this while eating would not toss their cookies. This is the first year I have ever had mice in the coop and boy was I MAD. I found their nests and killed dozens of babies too. I hate to do that but they carry way too many bad things for the chickens and even my lungs to let them stay. This may sound stupid but I gave them several warnings for the past week that if they did not pick up and leave before I started cleaning it was on them. I know THE FUNNY FARM way of doing things. Really I try not to hurt ay creature but I admit it I KILL SPIDERS - yes, I know they are great for the enivornment but if you come into my house or cross my path I have no choice but to kill you. We have many deadly spiders out here and I am not going and getting my glasses to see what you are - I have to kill you. My karma is going to suffer but I think with all I do otherwise I am still chaulking up more good then bad - at least that is what I tell myself.....

Oh, my goodness! What's up with all the snow?! We have 90 degrees weather today, which is way too hot way too soon. Tomorrow it's back to the 50s.

You must be so tired of the snow..for cryin out loud it's almost May!

I hear you about the mice...when we get one in the house..it's the same thing! I feel bad for them but they make decisions to live where it's not o.k.!! We use the snap traps and if they don't go for them.. then the loathesome sticky traps come out...and then my husband has to kill them when they get stuck!

I use the sticky traps too. Once during a dinner party a mouse came out with the sticky trap stuck to his hind legs. As he ran across the floor using his front legs dragging the sticky trap, my two sons sprang to their feet and the chase began. Like a bad cartoon my guests just watched as my boys pushed and shoved to be the one to squish the mouse. All I could think of saying was "Welcome to the Funny Farm Folks"
