Fifteen degrees and snow covered after a "winter storm" came through yesterday. (Yes, they actually used the term 'storm' on the local news yesterday. These Tennesseans have no clue.) The cat and the chickens refuse to leave their shelters. Granny hen braved the snow yesterday, but this morning, she is staying in the coop with the other two. I worry a bit that they will starve to death in their refusal to make the two-foot trip to the feeder, but I really don't want to pamper them. I refuse to turn into the lady that bathes and blow-dries her silkie on a daily basis. (See The Natural History of the Chicken. Not an actual history, but a documentary that is strangely entertaining.)
