Now that I am old and grey I pick my fights most every day . The garden will be there in the spring ( no till for winter) while I do my winter thing .

Let instinct take over . She will move for food & water when she wants it . Clean nesting spot only if to high . I leave & it will dry out . The fun of “live” critters to human on off switch .

Agree with OC . Setting or ready to lay egg .

We have adolescent Bald Headed eagles flying around here . Gone before I can get pics . Birds all on winter lock down loose in barn .

Let it snow ...

Way to go Vian

As a guy(last time I looked) I just put another set of clothes on over top of my regular clothes & call um winter clothes . Bulks me up & covers wrinkles . Real warm .

Welcome , have fun ,

Nice Kathy
