RIP Fish

The cold snap has brought more than just frozen plants to our little homestead. I was sad to find 4 dead fishies floating amongst the pond weeds this morning. Luckily, the chickens and the compost heap will utilize their frozen little bodies.

2 fish remain.  May they see long, sunny, warm days ahead.

The snow exposed another threat this past weekend. Raccon:

As far as I can tell, he wandered through the front veggie garden and back into the yard near the chicken coop. As the girls remain unmolested, we can give another thanks to Josh at Mobile Chicken Coops for such a sturdy design.

It is late. I am full of nachos, still. The house must be vacuumed. This Urban Homesteader needs to get off the computer and back to work.         Hasta manana!

Let me know if you'd like me to re-post the recipe for these beauties, along with the delicious bean dip. So good. So much. So full.
