Brrrr!

Is it warm where you are?

 

Gramma thinks this is a good reason to move to Arkansas.

 

This is how we're fighting back.

 

Sometime we get an egg like the one on the left.

 

Kind of like the Welsummer eggs, but smaller spots and when you wash them, if you scrub hard enough, they wash off. Weird. But they sure taste good. Be good, stay warm, and make sure you gather your eggs before they freeze.

Eggs

I know, your tired of egg pictures, but I don't care.

 

You are supposed to put eggs in the carton pointy side down because the air sac is on the big end and this helps keep the yolk centered and the egg fresher.

What do you do when there isn't a pointy end? Now, I'm just a dumb farmer and never went to college, but the rest of you did, so what's the correct answer? Huh?

Here's my goofy dog trying to catch light reflections. She hasn't caught one yet, but she comes close sometimes.

Here she is demanding to know why I took that silly picture of her. I told her that Gramma made me do it, but I'm not sure she bought it. Anyroad, have a good day and go easy on those cookies.

Happy Birthday Ted!

Theodore Steven Berg, Teddy, The Boy, Ted.

Hard to believe that our little boy is 41! Especially when you consider that I'm only 49. A happy baby, a happy toddler, a studious young man, always thinking, always curious and figuring things out. A good husband, a good father, a good cop. A good hunter, not that great a fisherman, but now that he has regular work hours we expect that to improve greatly. Anyway his Mom and Dad are very proud of him and love him very much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TED! We love you. Come and get some eggs. Bye.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy new year everyone.

The first sunrise on the farm for 2013. Clear and cold. 17 below zero. 81 degrees difference between here and the bayou. I was surprised to find Gramma's cat outside the door this morning, of course I know Sparkle won't show up 'til the sun is well up in the sky. Anywho, God bless everyone who reads this and may this be your best year ever. Be safe, be happy and be nice! Later
