Wild weather, again

The past couple of days have been so mild that I let the pullets (young hens) out at home and also let out all the poultry at our neighbors.

Matter of fact, their chicken house smelled too much like ammonia so I even opened the windows. Poultry can't handle ammonia -- if we can smell it, it's already too much for them.

But, only days ago we had so much ice that the interstates were closed and our county declared a state of emergency. The day before -- Christmas day -- was clear and cold so we took the kids sledding.

Days before that, we went through near blizzard conditions and I thought my feet were frost-bitten.

Day before that ... we had thunder snow.

The secret to Midwestern weather -- if you don't like it now, wait a minute and it'll change.
