They keep telling everyone to be prepared for a major storm, and it never happens. Heck we have people scared to death here because of the winds and cold. I'm wondering if leaving the quail where their at for a while would maybe be better instead of moving them back to their hutch.<br /><br />Stay warm my friend, I hope the weather calms down for you.<br />Give those furies' of yours a scratch for me. Hopefully, your furies' will stay out of trouble :-)<br /><br />Hugs and Love to you.<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-76818787610285502462019-01-25T20:05:07.759-05:002019-01-25T20:05:07.759-05:00I'm so sorry about you loos of your quail babi...I'm so sorry about you loos of your quail babies!

[i currently have two house pets I saved from death.....Wendy a Wyandotte, and Buffy a Buff Brahma.] I still miss LLFP far more than I should. <br />Your adventures with weather and layers always make me feel like a true whimp with our weather. Yo keep safe and you will learn to crochet, I have the greatest faith in you.

I am too much of a softy for animals. <br /><br />I would love to be the winner of the Winter book - since winter is my favorite season and I am a beginning crocheter - mostly knitting, but expanded my sights about 2 years ago into crochet.

Our deep freeze seems to be over too, but it's still way below zero. The dogs are pooping again thankfully, they were holding it in every time we let them out...of course, we too are directly responsible for the weather!! :)<br /><br />What a nice giveaway, that looks like a great book.

Only when it got to the east coast did they name it Harry. I'm guessing someone has too much time on their hands.<br /><br />I love Amazon for the very reason you mentioned. If they mess up an order, they have always been quick to fix it with no cost to me. Several times over many years I've been sent the wrong thing and they usually tell me to keep it and find a good home for it or sometimes they will pick it up at their expense if it is worth more.<br /><br />Funny thing, my neighbor who has been gone for the last month, came home two days ago and found a package addressed to me on her porch. It was a Christmas present from my sister-in-law so I had no notification that it had been delivered. But it did show up nearly 30 days after Christmas!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-45499277007099981442019-01-23T06:27:59.818-05:002019-01-23T06:27:59.818-05:00Sorry your winter is being such a beast and that t...Sorry your winter is being such a beast and that the little quail died.

I should carry a flare gun when I go out because, if I keel over, I'm done for until Spring.<br /><br />Mama Pea - the only good thing about the layers is that I am not tempted to come in early - I just power on and get everything done at one go. Because I am NOT going to go through the lasagna dressing process more than once (well, twice) a day. <br /><br />Nancy, I'm hoping they will be so relieved to get out of the furnace room and into their little lairs that they won't be as stressed.

Heck, the time I spend donning layers of clothing before going outside takes up more time than weeding 50' of a garden row!!<br /><br />So sorry about the loss of some of the quail population. No matter that you believed you were doing the right thing at the time, hindsight can sure bite you in the tush. Darn.<br /><br />Lovely, lovely giveaway, but no name in the hat for me, dear friend. I can almost kinda sorta follow a crochet pattern and have made a few crocheted baby blankets but I do prefer knitting. I truly believe crocheting goes faster than knitting though so for those of you that want to complete a project in a decent amount of time, go for it!
