But, after 60°F temperatures on Thursday, we were treated to 8″ of snow and temps in the teens.

I love your Thursday, Calm Before the Storm photo! In Tennessee we go from 70 degree springtime weather to ice/snow the next. We are expecting cold and the white stuff again on Monday, so I’ll be our wrapping the coops again tomorrow. Fun, fun, fun!

Congrats on your chicks that are on their way. My Delaware, Winnie, is trying to be broody in the cold weather. Trying to get her to hold off til spring!
