Baymule’s Journal

[Baymule]

I left before daylight this morning, went to feed store. Got a super bag of 966 pounds. Carson got a treat from his friend at the feed store and was happy. Came home, did all my morning chores Cornish Cross take a lot of work!

I scooped feed into 5 gallon buckets, then dumped into metal trash cans.

I came in, had 4 pounds of deboned chicken in the refrigerator, got it out and ground it up. I made two seasonings, both are good. Got 4 packages made for my son ol law.

Sitting down with glass of lemonade.

I have some bodacious thistles. I hate them. Mowing does no good, they just come back. Last year I cut the blooms and seed heads off, bagged and threw away. This year I’m digging them up and spraying the roots.
I’m using a formula,

1 gallon white vinegar
1 1/2 cups salt
2 tablespoons Dawn dishwashing liquid

We’ll see how it works.

So now, what do I do with the awful things?

I only did a small part of the field yesterday, there’s plenty more out there.

Will anything eat them?

Donkeys eat thistles. @Baymule needs a couple donkeys! You can adopt them for free from the wildhorse and burro organization.

Well, drying & disposing is far less long term work

Eeyore!

I don’t need another mouth to feed. I’ve had donkeys, I like them, but don’t want any.
