SSHHHHHH........... Bruce don't say that out loud, let us believe that we COULD work all day long in the hot sun if we really WANTED to! :lol:
OK but ... it was sunny and only 73° the other day when I was using the string trimmer. I was sweating! And I was thinking "What a wimp!!!!! What about those poor people working in the 90s and 100s??"

but I am loving the the new paths
Maybe the goats will as well and you won't need to trim hooves as often.

Guess I will not stop to visit if I make a trip to go see some of the country and maybe catch up with some of the members because I actively encourage the black snakes and milk snakes around the barns where there are no chickens... to help keep the mice and small baby rats and stuff down. Have been known to pick them up and move them off the back road if they won't slither off.... same as with box turtles.... yet I will kill them if they get into the chicks and I don't get them moved before doing as you and taking off their heads....
You are "mean" to your poor DH....😢:smack

I am happy for the snakes to eat mice and rats. But get my chicks and it is a dead snake. I have a secret weapon-Paris, our female Great Pyrenees. She is a snake killer. I have 45 Cornish Cross in a chicken tractor in "her" pasture. I'll look out there and she'll be laying close by, watching the chickens.

OR my eggs....had one take eggs from under a broody -- 3 days before hatch. Yeah, he met with my machete!!! At least got him before he got all the eggs....I am NOT a snake lover. My cats can do the mice nicely! In fact, seem to be doing a good job. Rat snakes get huge and can be pretty aggressive if you tell them "no".... Nope, I don't rehome live.
