    LOL it is super miserable here. I'm soooo tired of the weather. And if I did even bother to look at all the plants I can't grow here, I'd probably cry :lol: It's bad enough weather was so terrible last spring we didn't get our plants in until it was too late. We got ONE bean from our bean...

    We are between 3a and 3 b zones here where I am in Minnesota.... and to make matters worse, we don't actually have seasons because it has snowed in every month here. Mother nature hates us I guess. It REALLY wears a person down, let me tell ya. Thankfully our forecast DID lighten on our amount...

    It is most certainly not normal to this extent. :/ it was 21 degrees and sunny and I was out in a long sleeved shirt and vest... It felt NICE. It had been soooo cold with no sun that I didn't know it wasn't warmer.

    The worst part is we have a variety of breeds... Cinnamon queens, Easter Eggers, Icelandics, Amber link and polish. We had a Faverolle in the mix too (I think that's everyone...). I thought the ducks were gonna start laying before the hens. :\ I think it was NH Homesteader who made a comment...

    We did! I went up to her to get the larger drawing autographed for me, I'd already given the drawing for her to her sister in law earlier in the day. She gasped and got excited that I was the artist. Asked if I drew for a living and then said I should if I don't. I told her it was a funny story...

    My latest project while waiting for spring. My Concert is in one week from today and I can't wait! Next to my mother, Grand mother and the other women in my family, this woman has been an inspiration on so many levels. The reason I fell in love with music was because of my mom but the song that...

    Sad... so sad

    The week after Sandyhook a man in my town called the suicide help line. Said he wanted to shoot himself. They talked him off the ledge giving him the name to a counselor to see in the morning but his phone pinged near two schools that morning instead. EVERY school in the district went on...

    Sad... so sad

    Some areas are pushing for teachers to be allowed to carry guns. The BEST line of defense is allowing those on the front line between our kids and the bad guy to have a weapon. Look at the teachers who died shielding kids with their bodies in Florida. Tell me that one of them being armed...
