Good Morning! in 2018

[windwalkingwolf]

Oh, ugh, feel better soon, KB! And BVF, and Happy.
Temperature here is coming up some right now thank goodness. -40 got real old, real fast. I'm not under any illusions that there aren't more nasty cold spells coming, but it would be REALLY nice it it got no worse than a nice, balmy -20 LOL.

[WLLady]

Okay. Winter cold in my head. Freezing rain outside and a balmy -2 with another 6 inches of snow. Digging out again....i am really feeling for those in ross' area...this is just injury on top of insult.
We cant get out yet....hubby is plowing and i just shovelled. Twice. And gave up. Soaking wet....and its now freezing rain. Whoohoo!!!!

Ugh Drive home from work this morning was terrible, where are the snow plows, nothing was plowed.

[ross]

Yep real mess just don't seem to want to let up . Freezing rain here too . Most all school buses in SW Ont cancelled . Hang tight Kathy , Martin getting better I hear . We're lucky don't have to go no where till Friday then need a feed run . Be safe all not sorry . Heard road form Parkhill real crappy . Kenya sometimes when roads to hazardous & vision impaired even plows don't go out . Luck

Have the guns out this am. Cows next door very upset, turkeys nervous about coming out. I guess the predators are on the move again. Eyes open guys.

At -40 the predators get desperate hungry. All their energy reserves gone.

I know my firewood pile disappeared! Gotta dig some out of the pasture pile.

Our next door neighbour called us at around 9 on Sunday night to say she had spotted a coyote (or something that looked like one) coming up their driveway, then coming across and up ours. She said our back light didn't come on so assumed that it had moved on up the road, but just wanted us to be aware. The chickens were secure in their coop as were the quail, but still unnerving. We've had foxes around before, but not coyotes. Would they be able to break into a coop?

[ross]

Yep .if they can get holt of & food on other side . Two did this damage these are skids that they chewed thru that are covered with 1/6 hardwood to make sold wall no gaps .

[windwalkingwolf]

If it won't hold up to a 100 lb. dog crashing into it or trying to rip it apart, then yes, coyotes can break in. Coyotes only weigh about 40 lbs., but are much more destructive and determined than any dog...and most of the coyotes in Eastern Ontario aren't coyotes at all anymore, but are "brush wolves" or a mix. Bigger and mentally deranged to boot.

[baronrenfrew]

And I think we established that there are "coydogs" from Ottawa South to the St Laurence as WWW and KB are south of you.

Bigger, smarter, less afraid of people, and REALLY hungry.
