The Chickens Are Coming! The Chickens Are Coming!

Farm Rule #100: It's going to be a warm day when: the chickens come up to the house!

At 7am the Wife sighted the first chicken up on the deck.  She knew this meant it would be a warm day...

She turned off the furnace and turned on the blowers.

She doubled up wood inside the house so we could get the woodstove piping hot and (hopefully) open windows to get fresh air.

Then she smiled and told Dear Farmer that she was glad that spring is on it's way!

 Dear Farmer broke the news to the Wife that the temperature is only to be at 38F today.  38F!!!!  That's just above freezing! 

But...but...but...the chickens are at the house!  That means it's going to be a warm day...is 38F warm?

...maybe it there will be sunshine....
