Slaters' Funny Farm

  And just like that we are at the last Monday in February, can it mean that spring might be right around the corner. Oh, how I hope. We still have snow on the ground, but I am excited to say that it is actually the warmest day we have had in several weeks and the sun is shining. We are even to have temperatures in the 50's most of the week, which makes this country girl quite happy. It means mud everywhere, which is not fun. The chicken coops are a mess and need to be cleaned, the ducks are covered in mud in their outside enclosure, and the geese are just messy anyway, Life will be a muddy mess this week, but it beats the extreme cold and snow we have had.  Now let's get on with our weekly Happy Homemaker post. I will link up with several other bloggers over at  Diary of a Stay at Home Mom , where this series began. If you would like to read more of these, please hop over and check it out. She would love to have you visit and the bloggers that write this each week would ...

 I just read a post by ""+"Sandra Bourland over at Diary of A Stay at Home Mom and decided that I wanted to join her in this meme post. This is like blog posts from several years ago.

 Good Afternoon and Happy Presidents Day! Whether you like the current administration or not, the office of the President deserves respect. Many of the people that are in that office are disliked and many do the job well and some do not, but it is still an office that deserves respect.  How are you? Life is cold here and we have snow again, but my heart is broken by what I am seeing in Southwest Virginia as well as Kentucky and West Virginia with the massive flooding, I have many family members and friends in Southwest Virginia that I am praying for at the moment. The weather seems to be so all over the place this year. Our average temperatures should be in the 40's and we are at 15 degrees F. How crazy!  On to our post and our link up with Sandra over at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  and her Happy Homemaker Series.  THE WEATHER IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS : Cold and snowy, although the sun is currently shining. Our temperatures are so far below normal, it seems as t...

 Good Morning! For many football fans, it is a sad morning following the loss in the Super Bowl by the Kansas City Chiefs. I was rooting all the way for Mahomes and the Chiefs to pull out that third Super Bowl win, but it just did not happen. It seemed as though they just did not have a win in them for the night. I am proud of the game the Eagles played, and they certainly deserved the win. Enough of that subject, let's get on to todays' Happy Homemaker post.  I will be linking up with Sandra for this Happy Homemaker post over at  Diary of a Stay at Home Mom   .  If you are interested in learning more about what this is and why we write it, you can hop over there. You will also find links to what other Happy Homemakers have to say this week. Check it out for a bit if you haven't been there before. THE WEATHER IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS: It is cold here still. I truly wish spring would make an appearance. We woke to 21 degrees Farenheit today and it is sunny, but th...

 Good Morning and welcome to the month of love. February is full of hearts and love as we celebrate Valentine's Day. The weather here today is absolutely beautiful. It is to be 67 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a far cry from the awful cold and snow we had just a few weeks ago. I know it will turn off cold again, but I am thankful for a day that seems to be spring shouting, " I am here".  I am feeling better although I am struggling with such a horrible headache today. I know it is the weather that is causing it, as I always struggle when massive weather changes occur. Seasonal issues, whether it is allergies or migraines are horrible, and I live in an area known for drastic and quick weather changes. Let's get on with our post.  I will be linking up with Sandra for this Happy Homemaker post over at  Diary of a Stay at Home Mom   .  If you are interested in learning more about what this is and why we write it, you can hop over there.

 Sunday Farm Smiles is meant to be a post which brings a smile to your week or even a laugh at times. Living here is our little slice of heaven; I often see animals do something to make me smile or even laugh and I want to share that with my readers here. Aren't we blessed by the many animals that God created for us to enjoy here on Earth. There are some that I am scared of, but we are still blessed to have them.  Most Sundays I share a meme or photo from Google Photos, because I usually do not have the camera when I am outside working with the animals. I am thankful that we have access to these other photos. I will occasionally share one of our own animals just to bring some personal touch to the photos. As soon as spring hits, you will see many of our own animals.  With the weather we have had in January and today being Groundhog's Day, I felt this was appropriate for the way many of us will feel if the groundhog predicts 6 more weeks of bad weather. He certainly would ...
