It got down to 49 degrees last night but the hatchery chicks did just fine in their new home. The hen took her chicks to the back of the brooder and all 26 of the hatchery chicks went under the light for warmth. I was afraid they they wouldn't be warm enough but all was well.
I had a nice visit with my sisters yesterday and with our cousin Winnie Jo. We laughed and told tall tales and Winnie Jo cried some but the visit was worth the tears I think. I fine it amazing that our cousin is such a good person. Her parents only had one child and I am sure she was able to have what every her hearts desire while growing up and some times people like that seems not fit into our life style, bare foot hillbillies that, is but Winnie couldn't be more like us than if she had grown up in our house hold of course Winnie does wear shoes!
Winnie brought me a nice gift. My aunt Winnie took up painting and Winnie Jo brought me a picture Aunt Winnie painted of Grandpa Powell's home place. Precious memories!
I pulled radishes for the sisters yesterday. I said the price was a dollar each but they refused to pay.
One day a friend was here and I brought some eggs in and put them on the table.( She eats eggs from the store the white ones). She said those are nasty I wouldn't eat them they came from a chicken.

I am glad you have a good visit with our sisters and cousins. Times are passing quickly and our lives are moving toward the last.
Anyone who has not eaten a home grown egg...just those nasty store bought things...don't know what they have missed. If I had to guess, I would bet that lady is not real smart!
