We did the pee trick. Our neighborly resident fox then proceeded to pee where we peed...not only hilarious, but his potent pee (smells a bit skunky) is what I believe really keeps the rodents away from the coop...well, that plus he hunts them.
I know people think I'm nuts that I actually love...
The Darn mud! It's as bad as ice. So sorry you slipped. I'm trying to get the large bark nuggets mulch for my muddy pens now...no one has it, all they have is the shredded mulch. They had some mini nuggets, I bought them because it's better than nothing but wow I sure hope they will get the...
I'd bring everyone in, too & then hit those nasty rats hard! Friends of mine have been dealing with rats and cannot seem to get rid of them. It's been over a year. They live in the walls of buildings, have dug numerous tunnels all over, even live under a firewood stack. Once they have...
Finally a day with sunshine & less wind! I hope it's still nice after work. Once I get back home it's chore mode. Romeo & Misty will go outside, fesh chickweed & sunshine. I have some Ajuga to plant, Hostas to thin out & replant, Lamb's Ear to dig up & move some to another area, wild berries to...
It is very wet! Seems every day off is a rainy, windy one, too. 😔 Makes the outdoor work get delayed. Last night was interesting, tornado watch, lighting, thunder, heavy wind, heavy rain & some hail. I got all chickens & pigeons inside & the west windows shut, but went to the Walgreens for...
Yup, that's always my go to "justification"
The ladies are working daily, so the least we can do is give them our best.
That egg laying song...I tell my sweetheart it's like a woman in labor every day! I can tell by his facial cringe he has empathy.
Then I point out the hawks always gliding...
Yes it is fortunate I've been typing up work orders and job contracts when it's still cold & misty in the mornings, or raining, and then in the afternoons I've been cleaning up one of the job sites outsite, cutting up larger debris, etc., so I finish that up today. It's good to be with 2 birds...
It's a mystery, no one else has any symptoms. It's either a stroke, seizure or perhaps poison spider bites...maybe he pecked a nest of baby spiders, we have Black Widow, Brown Recluse & Hobo. My sweetheart was bitten by Hobo spider last April & it made him sick for a week. I don't know...just...
I just signed up, thanks for sharing. I don't know if it's in this area, but I will call a few local tree chipping places, too.
I used to buy the large bark chips...they're not available anymore 😕
Had an odd chirping at 2am before, went outside & found a tiny but surprisingly loud tree Frog, plastered himself right to the bedroom window, belting it out! 😆 I reminded him he is a Tree Frog, & gently relocated him to a tree...not near my bedroom. 😆 🤣 😂
(I wasn't conscious enough at 2am to...
Aww sweet, love those shoulder snugglers ❤️
Here's my heavier shoulder snuggler, Romeo.
Had a big scare with him the past few days. I still don't know if he had a seizure of some sort or was bitten by a poisonous spider. He is recovering in the bathtub now along with little Misty Violet. 1st...
