Michigan Winter, enough already

A TBH in the Michigan winter.

OK. Uncle. I give. Enough already!

I am hereby extra-ready for spring. I know it’s just around the corner (or at least the weather guys at work keep assuring me so), but I’m becoming a little impatient.

Don’t get me wrong. I mean hey, I did move back to Michigan from Florida, so I can only blame myself for having to put up with winter. But I’ve had enough this year. I need some sunshine and some green. The monochrome thing is stale.

At least winter is a time to plan. Big stuff will be happening in the garden. The chicken moat will be finished. Some raised beds will be made. And we have sugarin just around the corner in the next couple of weeks. Gotta get the seeds started soon too and get the lights set up.

I can’t help feeling sorry for the chickens though. They sure to look cold, even if they have “down coats” on. They rarely venture out of the coop. Every so often I see one poke its head out and peck at the snow, as if it hopes to scare it away.

Apparently the snow is not scared by chickens. Go figure.
