Similar to here on the Central Coast in California! It has been so beautiful here for so long, it's almost scary. Day after day of crystal blue skies, WARM temps, in the high 70's and occcaisionally low 80's. The horses all have thick coats, but not terribly so. No rain for a VERY long time, and everywhere trees are starting to dry up. Water is EXPENSIVE here, so no one is watering things. The chickens seem to be OK with the weather though! We recently had a hawk strike right while we were standing out GUARDING our chickens so they could free-range....this one little hen had wandered out of our site and a hawk was on her in a second. It happens so fast. We have an infestation of hawks here, I think. WAY too many.

Amazing that it is so warm in MI the middle of November. I have been using every warm day to play catch up around the barns and to get ready for winter. I ordered clear, heavy duty tarps for the back barn garage doors to block wind but allow open doors on sunny winter days, and for around the egg layer pen. Hope my tarps hurry up and get here. Wish it wasn't rainy and windy, still have quite a bit to do, and late winter apple trees to check out. Still cleaning chick barns and pens a few half barrels at a time each day. I'm having a hard time finding people who want to work and do things the way I need them done. Welfare in MI has spoiled the people without jobs, no one seems to want to work. Hoping the teens that were at the rental yesterday are still there and want to make cash emptying barrels.
