The news of the last couple of days has been the big storm incoming. It started up today with some wind, freezing rain, and snow. It was very strange snow, not flakes but more like little glass beads. You could run it through your (gloved) hands like sand or birdseed. Mom became worried about the Chooks surviving not just the cold but the wind (as they have gone through a rather cold spell in the past).
Mom decided the only thing to do was to move the chicken coop around front and in to the garage. This was made more entertaining because the coops had long since become frozen to the ground. I had to use a crow bar to detach it. Mom wanted to carry it but I thought it would be easier and less likely to trash the coop if we slid it over the snow. That mostly worked, except I had to pick up the front to get it turned around. This caused me some serious back pain. I still managed to help Mom and Corwin push it over to the garage. Once there, Mom was able to use the back wheels to put it in place. I went inside to lay down. Mom, after making sure the chickens were all OK in their new location, came in to minster to my injury let me know the chickens were safe if a bit confused. All part of her plan I think.
