Those of you who really hate snow and cold, could become a "Snowbird" and visit us!

Of course, you would have to put up with traffic and other snowbirds, but there IS SUN and the temps are in the 70s now!

I can always tell the "Snowbirds" - they are the ones wearing t-shirts and going swimming in an unheated pool while the rest of us are wearing heavy jackets!

I hoping to move the sanctuary to a warmer state in the next 3 years,
I've been doing my research on the southern states and their animal laws.

You should be up here when they do the Polar Bear Jump, a hole is broken in the ice in Jan. or Feb. and whoever wants puts on their swim suits and jumps in. My daughter did it one year to raise money for MS, she dressed up like Super Man.
Shi... those people ARE crazy!

Well, Robin, if you move anywhere near me, would LOVE to meet you!!

Yes, I have read and seen pictures of the "Polar Bear Jump!" All I can say is better them than me! There ARE warmer ways to raise money!

Robin - they do the same thing around us - but they go into the Ocean -- I always wonder if their brain freezes before they agree to be a "polar bear"

Shi - I may be out your way sometime in June. I hoping I get the okay to attend a conference that's at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Spa and Resort in Chandler, Arizona. I know that's not "right around the corner" but hopefully that's close enough for me to drive to the meet the AZ crew

Actually, Dez, Wild Horse Pass is NOT that far from Cindy, me and Kippy! You will be staying in a BEAUTIFUL place!!

Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert are all within easy driving distance and on the "East" side of the Valley!! YIPPEE!!

HOW FUN!! HOPE ALL WORKS OUT!! WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU!!

Please keep us updated and as the time gets closer, I will send you my e-mail and phone number.

Looks like a little winter wonderland. We're supposed to be getting some Sunday. My nutty pigeons don't even like to go out in the good weather. Rather just hang around the loft all day. Sometimes, I actually have to catch them and make them go out and get some excercise and sun. I have three very large windows in the loft, so they probably think they ARE outside. LOL. They'll freak when they see the snow! I think your chickens are smart!

Our 2 hens and rooster refuse to come out of their house, they will stick their heads out to look around but go right back to their roost.

I'm going to have to side with the chickens. I don't even need snow if it's that cold I'm not going out unless I have to.
Maybe there waiting for someone to clear the snow away.

I wouldn't be at all surprised, KIPPY! Who says chickens aren't smart?!!

Actually, the human will be the one to clear the snow away! Does that tell you anything??

3 more inches of snow fell last night so this morning I was busy shoveling out not only the chickens but the pigeons, the drivewayand a couple of other outside enclosures

I saw the next 7 days forecast and its going to snow everyday! guess I'll be doing this again... maybe by the end of winter I'll have muscle arms like Super Man.

In WI. Although this winter we might get as much snow as the North Pole.
