Looking back at my photos from January I can’t believe how nutty it was: Doc Brown came down with a mystery illness that had me looking at her back for several days to determine whether she was still breathing. After days of hand feeding and prayer, she miraculously recovered. Blaze & Chevy got hit with frostbite which put them out of commission and in the basement Mancave where they remain with Doc until temperatures warm up. Mr. Chicken Chick and I had whirlwind weekend at the Northeastern Poultry Congress meeting so many of my amazing peeps, followed days later by a scheduled surgery that put me out of commission for a bit. Finally, we have been getting hammered with frigid temps and snow storms here in New England, including a certified blizzard last week and are now staring down the barrel of another couple of feet of snow tomorrow night! Whew! I’m exhausted just thinking about it all. I’m very much looking forward to a mostly boring February, please!

Doc Brown and me
Blaze & Chevy, Day 1 in the Mancave with frostbite.
Me & my peeps at the Northeastern Poultry Congress!
After Doc’s crisis passed, she joined the fellas in an adjacent condo in the basement.

I really really need one of these. Hate to use a heat lamp.

Excited for chick season again. Without a rooster we always order day old chicks in the spring. This would be great to keep them warm and safe!

I am commenting….let's see if I can make this original.

how my eyes light my heart
to see a box full of chicks
all here on their first day alive

Precious is not word enough
to say how sweet
my spirit dances
jumps for joy

Days full of peeps
hours just watching
content and amazed
at their daily growth

As they get to know me
see me in kind
as they scratch and strut
each who have their own
little personalities

How I look forward to
the days before Spring
and the joy a single day
can bring

My chicks are here!!!

Just for you
