There is nothing quite like waking to the smoke alarm. James and I searched the house for the source of the horrible burning plastic smell but never found it, so resorted to dialing 911 at 2 am. After response from three nearby towns, an hour of searching the house from top to bottom, and some wildly exhausted kids, nothing.
Having firefighters troll through your house makes you want to clean everything and then get rid of everything. At least that's how James and I feel. It's not even that our house is so dirty... I don't clean every room every day, we have four kids, and... Well... The storage and art rooms are last on my list to clean. Of course that's the smoke alarm that was having the hiccups.
We have too much stuff. Too much.
It's officially bitterly cold when the heat has been running since about 10 pm last night. With windchill, it's -17 F. My fingers were numb upon returning from chicken chores this morning.
We ordered meat and egg laying chicks. Although I requested delivery around April 18, it would appear that Purely Poultry had chicks they needed to ship earlier than that, as our egg layers will be arriving around March 8.
We are currently nestled under an ice and snow layer approximately 3" thick.
Off to take warm water to the chickens!
Until next time, remember, this is not paradise. It's Purgatory Ranch.
