Chickens in the snow...they didn't know what to do. |
I had a few gift deliveries that I needed to make, so pulled the truck out and loaded up a few gifts. The temperature has warmed up quite a bit and the snow was really starting to melt. I drove all over delievering the gifts and splashing through the slush on the road. It made me realize that I have not wash my truck since Thanksgiving and desperately needed to wash the truck and get the magnezium chloride off my wheels before it pits the chrome. I've never washed a truck in the snow, but I managed to get it clean.

With the gifts delievered I checked on the chicken. They seemed interested in getting out so I left the door open and several flew out and landed in the snow. They seemed to be a bit a shock and didn't move. After about 5 minutes of them standing still, feet deep in the snow, I decided to pick them up and put them back in the pen. There were no complaints I picked each one back up and put them in the pen.
I started to lad my truck to take the gifts and pies over to my folks house for Christmas. We were going to have a light dinner tonight because Church was holding their service at 7pm. We snacked on spiral cut ham, cheese, sliced roast beef and sweets of all kinds.

Church service was beautiful with lots of singing of Christmas classics and then they turned out the lights and everyone lit candles and we sang Silent Night. It was very special and I was so pleased to be there with my folks and my good friend Doug. Doug is new to the Church and think he enjoyed the service very much. My mother was impressed he knew all the words to the songs, before she realized all the words were projected on the wall.
