UN Welcomed Guest

[Lil Red]

Had an unwelcomed guest show up. Wasn't invited yet cost me a small fortune. It took me 3 days to finally set up a trail cam. Saturday lost 6, Sunday 10, Monday 2.Scared the baby chicks so bad they smothered each other trying to avoid the threat.

Yeah i had a mink invade mine. Just reached through the wire and took the heads off. Chicken wire isn't all that, from now on i'd suggest using rat wire or something similar. Sorry for the loss Red.

[Lil Red]

The brooder is 1/2" hardware cloth. The Hawk never got them, just scared them to death. First 2 days it happened I kind of Freaked. 3rd day put up the trail cam. Only lost 1 in the month I had them. Then It started. wasn't sure what caused it from 0 to 6 on the 29th day then 10 more on the 30th.

[BigBen]

Cool weathers coming and the little sky buzzards want to get fatter.

[Lil Red]

Plenty of squirrel for them to eat. Got down to the low 70's last night, Some said it was in the 60's but I don't think so.

[BigBen]

Squirrels are plentiful for sure but chickens are easier to catch and have more meat. It got down in the 40's the last 2 nights here.

[Lil Red]

It was in the 60's last night it warms up fast. Rain has been avoiding me but the ground is still damp from all the mulch. Might have to water a few areas. Neighbors horses visited again yesterday. Got my millet and a bed of longevity spinach I planted earlier last week.

Stay warm Ben, The cold is on it's way.

4 months later Red and we get 7" of the white four letter word stuff but we were due a biggy. Last one was in 94- 2 ft that time so 7" is still a show stopper.

[Lil Red]

Well Hillary showed up this morning. Up to no good but didn't get any after 10 minutes of trying. She fled when she heard me walking up the path.

[Lil Red]

[BigBen]

Sure wish i was walking amongst those pines.

[Lil Red]

You are welcome to come down and walk anytime you like. It's 33 degrees here right now.

[BigBen]

LOL thanks Red but it's in the 20's here but hitting the 60's tomorrow , i can't wait!

[Lil Red]

We are going to be in the upper 80's by the end of the week. Already up to 48 this morning. If you got a tent I'll lone you a gun, you can keep the vermin away.

[BigBen]

Red if i come down i'll be sure to bring a gun and help with ole Hillary. That little bugger looks determined.
