Never a dull moment! Racc**n in the chicken run today! Took a while, we dug out the fence opening from the snow and left it be and eventually it found its way out. We also blocked off the chickens' route to the lilac run so they could no longer interact with the c**n! We have seen this racc**n hanging around the past few days, which is concerning as they are nocturnal, but clearly this one is unwell πŸ˜• **n **see video in a separate post on our page πŸ‘€

Also, too funny, as we make our way around the lilac run, Amaya gets caught up in some burrs. . .
Amaya: "This is so much fun!"
Momma: 'Says no one?!' (Momma thinks but says) "What?"
Amaya: "Picking prickles out of my mitts!"

2 minutes later her head is covered in them. . . FUN!

Sap is drippingπŸ’§ from our maple 🍁 tree and Ori is keen to make syrup. Now if only the snow would melt off our campfire πŸ”₯ wood πŸͺ΅ !

Finally ❄️we can πŸ₯Ύwalk on the πŸ“meter + deep snow without falling through. . . only took until the second day of spring!!
But seriously, little kids and momma just went on the most adventurous walkabout across the frozen waves of snow through the forest. All winter we were trapped on our tiny footpaths, finally frozen freedom!!!🀣🀣

As we wait for spring. . . Chicken care! Chicks Stripey and Angel are growing. Stripey has an itchy neck as it's new feathers grow in. . . and we have been caring for it every day with warm water with Epsom salts, colloidal silver, herbal salve, and just recently diatomaceous earth, which seems to be the key player as it hasn't gotten worse since adding the DE to the Stripey care plan. 🀞
Oi-$7/dozen

The DE kills insects. Apparently there is a type of mite that is unseen by the naked eye and could be causing problems under the skin?πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

1 cm + of ice 🧊 by the end of the day and after dark, a layer of snow ❄️ ! 😳😬

The freeze is helping to lessen the potential for flooding πŸ’¦ , but warmth β˜€οΈ would melt the ice before it damages trees 🌳 . . .

We shall see what morning πŸŒ… brings. . ? Anything but wind πŸ’¨ our household agrees 🀞
