This means I don&#8217;t have to worry about the chickens&#8217; water freezing.<\/p>\n<p>On the way up to the girls with the bedtime corn I noticed that the snowdrops had water droplets on them. It looked like ice and although I knew it wasn&#8217;t I couldn&#8217;t resist touching a water droplet with my finger. It was odd how the droplets were just on the snowdrops and not on any of the other plants.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27760\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=27760\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-27760\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27760\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27760\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/snowdrops-with-water-droplets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/snowdrops-with-water-droplets.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/snowdrops-with-water-droplets-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/snowdrops-with-water-droplets-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snowdrops with water droplets<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The snowdrops looked quite beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday and today the weather couldn&#8217;t be more different than it was on Sunday when we walked to the allotment.
