Yesterday, we received three more inches of snow....but after this winter, three inches is nothing we can't handle!   But the cold temperatures and the howling wind are back and I had to bring in my hens last night - it was 7 degrees.  I will have to bring them in again tonight too!  I was started to get used to those balmy 25 degree nights and 45 degree days!  Oh well...It is only February 22nd, I can't expect spring yet!  

However, I was talking to some ladies last night at my class and they can already see the buds of flowers coming up through the dirt at their homes.   At my house, the snow is still totally covering my flower bed so all I see is dirty snow!
