Yep I'm raising chicks. Four of them in the house right now. Also I saw yesterday that one of the chickens managed to hide some eggs and now has 4 chicks in the coop.

That added to trying to keep my grandmothers dogs in the fence...one of them is an escape artist and has managed to get out several times taking the others with her...is taking a lot of time.

Also driving the hubby to work and back. And my other blog. And all the giveaways. I have won a lot of books! Been busy. glad to see you guys are still here. I'll be visiting off an on to say hi and see what's up.

All we got here is rain. Lots and lots of rain. I hear folks up on Chicago are gonna be snowed in though. I bet that will be fun

I have one on blogger that I am mainly using to enter contests. Some of the contests are starting to require that you have a certain number of followers on your own blog in order to enter. Which of course means that I need a few followers. 25 to be exact. I currently have 7. They are family and friends whose arms I have been able to twist. I would twist your arm too but I can't reach it..so I'm asking you to go there and click on the follow button on the left sidebar and follow publicly. Otherwise I'm gonna have to find more arms to twist and someone is bound to get mad and kick my butt eventually. www.simplewyrdings.com

On the weather front..we didn't get hardly any snow or ice here but it was really really cold. I did get enough snow off the table out in the front yard to make some snow cream! It was good too. And went straight to my hips. If it snows again I won't be able to wear my jeans anymore and will have to resort to sweatpants for the rest of the winter. Life is grand!

Hope the new year is going well for most of you guys. I saw that some of you had some snow already. I'm sure that was fun. And some folks down in Australia are soaked right now. That can't be fun.

Things are pretty good here right now. They say we are gonna get some ice this weekend though..just in time for college start up. Can't have everything!
