two more winter storms coming this weekend
i wish i had a pet snow chicken
no need for it to pull me on a sled
instead
we could fly downhill on a toboggan together.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
and you could take the chicken as a knee warmer when inside after the tobogan ride!
AND have an egg now and then (they lay very rarely in winter)…. keep warm and cosy.

I see that one lone chicken and of course a song comes to my mind: A Man Without a Woman.
“There’s only one thing worse in this universe than a chicken, I said a chicken, I mean a chicken without a sled.” ;(

Snow makes the world a little cleaner when it arrives, it gives me hope. And, the days are getting longer at a clip of about two minutes more each day. Stay strong.

I can honestly say that in my entire life I have never once imagined or thought about a sled chicken. Until today.

We just went through a little winter storm. No snow here on the beach, but we had freezing rain. Snowed hard in the mountains between here and the Willamette Valley.

For many of us in California, the snow seems so magical, but I imagine it gets frustrating and difficult over time. It is beautiful…from a distance. Hugs, C

OMG that’s so funny. I don’t think the chicklets could do it, or the hens and they don’t do well when they’re wet either but it’s so funny.
