So much interesting information and ...Hello Julie,<br /><br />So much interesting information and lovely photos packed neatly in one post.<br /><br />It is amazing to read that so much has to be done on a farm especially during winter.I hope you didn't get your hand badly hurt with the peck.<br /><br />Your children are wonderful and clever.Surely they will excel themselves this time in the competition.<br /><br />For a city dweller like me living in a moderate climate where one can't see any snow at all, reading your post was like walking in a new strange land.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911244661188103683.post-62230944142090682812010-12-15T11:08:40.443-06:002010-12-15T11:08:40.443-06:00Irritating chickens that peck?

I hate to burst your bubble, but my daughter's Slim Jim cravings have less to do with male influences in her life than they do with her stroke. While teaching her how to eat/wean her from a feeding pump (from age 12 to 18 months) we discovered that her stroke did a lot of damage to her taste buds. She needed spicy food if we wanted her to taste anything. So, the young girl learned to eat with Funyuns, chips with hot salsa; mushrooms, onions and green peppers sautéed in garlic olive oil (that was her breakfast for a long time), dill pickle spears, and Slim Jims. And it's kinda gross, but she loved to suck on dog food. One piece of kibble was an all day, beef flavored gobstopper. We had to pick up the food bowls for months. It's hard to clean brown drool stains from clothing. But I digress. The only spicy food she couldn’t handle was Thai. She still craves Funyuns, pickles, potato chips, and Slim Jims. We gave her what foods worked until she learned that satisfaction for hunger pangs came orally and not through a tube connected to her stomach. Before then, when she would get hungry, she would grab for her feeding port on her abdomen. Odd, but true. So, my daughter is this walking, living, breathing reminder that God reached into our lives and said, “Hey, I’m here, I’m listening, and I’m going to do something very cool for you,” which was to heal her broken heart and give us the chance to raise her. He’s good. He’s very, very good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358631883472544059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911244661188103683.post-30860773265912957692010-12-14T13:26:12.133-06:002010-12-14T13:26:12.133-06:00Hi Julie ~ Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!...Hi Julie ~ Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

I also glad to hear Nick is recovering. <br />You'll have to check out the water heater pads at the farm store. They can keep a five gallon container ice free in the coop. They also have dog bowls that plug in. And here, I'm always griping about the cost of electricity.<br />Hey, can you and Tim use a fifteen year old apprentice next summer? Just a hairbrain thought.
