Birthday

[farla]

I don't have any real number associations with ages twenty-two and above.

I guess it's sort of the point things stop mattering so much. Especially since no one believes I'm past (or near) twenty in the first place, and by the time I'm actually old we'll either have cloning down or we'll all be dead.

The weather's warmed up again. It used to always be a big blizzard around now.

I want to try making jello shots sometime.

Mom's going to get rats, which is cool.

Happy birthday, Farla!

Good luck with your rats! I had mice before and had that same peeing-in-the-tube problem you mentioned somewhere above. Yeah, screw that.

How do your chickens fare in snowy weather? I've never really associated the two. (...then again I live in Texas, so I don't associate snow with anything.)

They, uh, guilt us into letting them live on the porch.

See, we made them a run, and then we made them a roof to keep the snow off, but it was so cold at night and their house isn't that well protected from wind, see, and then it started snowing at night and their run collapsed! And we fixed it (we'd taken out the centerpiece, so it might have held otherwise) but it's just so drafty out, and what if it started snowing really heavily while we were out and...

They managed to walk over it to come in at night without seeming to mind, but I don't think they can actually spend too much time on it. I know their feet got really cold if they were out on wet ground, and they were badly chilled one time they were left out late like that. They're able to handle the temperature itself just fine, though. Probably, they could go out in snow, peck a bit, then come back to roost somewhere dry without a problem.
