Okay, so I don't know what to say. Drove into town to get some peroxide, chocolate, and chicken food. On the way there however, we stopped at a friends place to make sure they were okay after the ice storm, and they were. We had sent them email which hasn't been answered, and left a message on the answering machine that we hadn't got a call-back from. When we got there we were told she tried to call, but got a busy signal, and she hasn't had time to go on-line yet, so no email. That's cool though, that's why we stopped by. *smile* Turns out they made it through just fine by staying at the mother in-law's house. *Yay!*
Other than that, not much happening. Still hasn't been warm enough for us to get many tree limbs taken care of, although my daughter did drag a couple of branches to the wood shed for us :-) Still lot more to go. We're not going to drag everything to the wood shed and then cut it into log-form. We're going to do the cutting at each tree, load the logs into the wagon and have the kids take them to the shed while we cut more branches up.
The price of chopped corn has gone up due to the poor corn harvest this year. So, come Spring, we're going to try to grow our chicken's corn-food ourselves. We've never done it before, but whatever we can get to grow will at least help in that we won't need to buy quite as much.

hi sounds like you all have wood to cut up like we do.
Corn isn't that hard to grow, as long as you keep it watered. I'm sure you have GREAT soil there. You should get that Homesteading book Lisa is offering. I LOVE that author!

Yeah, but Rain knows a lot about planting, so I don't think we'll need that book. If we do, there's always the Internet (for now), right? :-)
