Today's funny :o)

Not much....

 .... going on in Coopville!

 

 


 


 

It's been very cold and Benji and the girls only come out of the coop to eat and then they go back inside. They will NOT walk on the snow!


Only the wild birds come out to eat and play:



The kitty-kat loves to sit and watch them!

The storm

Wednesday night:




Yesterday morning - Hubby was kind enough to let the gang out while I stayed in my PJ's:



Got plenty of the white stuff!



The snow really piled up in back of the pen:


Snow blowing the front driveway:


And a beautiful sunset:
