And again

After a solid week of typical December in Portland weather (40 degrees and rainy with the occasional break-through of sunshine) I just woke up to two more inches of snow. Am I happy? Am I sad? I don't know. I think I like the snow, but my chickens sure hate it. And it turned their eggs yellow last time, instead of that dark orange, due to lack of access to grass. Still, I much prefer walking in snow than walking in mud in my backyard.

It's normal for eggs to lose the deep orange yolk during the winter though... I did a lot of research before I found out my chicken dream would have to be postponed. :P
