We have had so much rain over the past month. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but we have had just TOO MUCH rain. It has rained, flooded, froze, thawed, rained more, froze more, and on and on. It has been raining almost nonstop again since yesterday and isn't supposed to stop till about noon tomorrow! Our ground is so saturated and our backyard is badly flooded in several spots.
The walk to the chicken yard multiple times a day has become treacherous due to the ice and/or mud depending on the temperatures. When the weather has been at and below freezing temperatures I have had to make extra trips to the coop to collect the eggs before they freeze. So far we have only had one frozen egg I had to throw away. Not bad when we are currently getting 12-15 eggs per day.
Enough whining. There have been some beautiful days, but I am so ready for spring to be here! Ready to get the garden started. Ready for warmer, sunnier days. May your day be blessed.
