We were expecting up to 6 inches of snow, it ended up being more like one inch but lots of freezing rain. Luckily we have kept power throughout the day. The boys let out the ducks in the morning, they said they came out but then walked right back in, but then saw the food and came out. They spent most of the day in the pond, but in the afternoon I went to feed them and couldn't get them to stay out even for food under the porch and I realized that it was too cold for them. I hurried them back to their coop but even then we were a little worried about them and ended up putting them all in the garage. (Their wings had ice chunks all over them and we knew they needed to get that off and warmed.) The cats are still in the garage all curled up.
Today we slept in then Michael, Benson and Evan mad scones. We ate just before Calvin started his cyber security competition that was just here at our house. Everything was cancelled for today and tomorrow really. Michael and I did a little cleaning in our room and talked over some things for the trip next week. I drove over to the school to check in on the property. Everything looked in good order and it was mostly an uneventful trip but once home I couldn't get up our driveway, I just slid right down. We tried a number of things to make it into the garage but eventually gave up and parked our car down on the flat driveway at the base.
Michael called and canceled appointments for Monday and I read lots to Maebryn and Roslyn who still aren't feeling well. It's been a fun story called, "Mischief in Fez"
Pictures of the boys looking out at the snow, it's been neat to watch all of the birds that always seem to come out in this weather. Blue Jays, Cardinals and so much more.
These are pictures of the school when I went by to check in on it.
These are my poor sick girls that mostly have been lying around somewhere most of the day. I gave them a bath this morning and brushed through their hair, we finished cleaning up their room and vacuumed it, then they watched a movie, and since then they mostly have been lying around. They lay down in the living room when we made a fire during the day then all afternoon they have been here and I have read to them on and off as they have wanted it.
