DH and I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. We are planning to go to our DD#2's home for not lunch and not dinner. We are planning to eat around 3:00 so I guess we will say Thanksgiving meal. LOL. It is also an early Birthday meal too. The girls are doing all the cooking and baking so all I have to do is show up. I don't know how to act because I am the one usually doing most of the cooking. It has been pretty cool around here. We had a little sleet on Saturday evening but nothing major. It was a pretty and sunny day today also windy and quite cold. Still was able to do some outside work for a change. I have two little girls that I kept until they started school staying with me this week so they wanted to help. One of them is not afraid of work the other is a born supervisor. LOL. They helped me pick up where the dog tore up a faucet cover all over the yard and rake and pick up leaves and pinestraw. We had a storm come through about a week ago or maybe a little more that caught our young chick (almost two months old) out in a small pen inside the large chicken pen. DH was nice enough to go out in the rain and lightening and put them back inside. We have lost 11 of them. They were growing so good. It has really made me sick to see so many of them die. And if that isn't enough the hen that decided she wanted to set on 4 eggs waited until they started pipping and left the nest. The eggs were cold as ice when I got out there this morning. This is the third time that she has set and hasn't hatched one egg yet. She won't have the opportunity to try again. If she gets broody, I will put her up in a cage by herself. DH is out of school this week and we are trying to get some repair work around the house done. I am mostly staying out of his way. Letting him do the work and helping if he needs me. Again, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful for everyday. Jan
