Neighbor’s wife is out of town for the week. He’s mowed the yard 5 times in two days, and then started mowing a different neighbor’s yard. Then tried to brush hog the ditches. At the moment he’s shooting snakes; which has me worried because I have tall grass and exploring ducklings. Hopefully he gets them, or that he’s actually shooting at a hose. Entertainment in the country!
I guess it beats hitting the bar and getting drunk!

92 holding steady....my last pregnant doe has decided to go into labor today! 🤔 told her yesterday to get it done, ten degrees cooler then. At least she went into the barn under fans. I'm anticipating trips, again this year. We'll know soon.... At least they'll dry fast! 😁. Better go check, been an HR since last look. A prissy bottle baby, spoiled.

Robert helped us take down 3 dead trees by the fence this morning. I’m glad to have them down. One was big and the grain spiraled like a peppermint stick. Even with being tied off by ropes and BJ on the tractor keeping tension, it fell the wrong way. Robert ran! It didn’t hit him or the fence so we considered it victory. The other two were small, one fell into another tree, so they tied the rope to the base, then the tractor bucket, BJ backed up and dragged it down.

Then we got 13 round bales delivered. Meat chicken sales bought our hay. LOL

Be glad you got hay. Heard it was tight to get in some TX areas. No matter who paid! It sure is nice when the animals can bring enough $ to cover most.

So Peanut had twins, one each. Waited to be sure she passed afterbirth. New mom was fed, watered and kids on milkbar. ;) left them to bond. She looked big and had trips last yr....not good with third! Plenty of milk, just whichever two latched were only two allowed at that time. Had to really watch all got fed and bottled a few times!

This morning I saw the big groundhog digging under hen house this week. This afternoon, saw TWO!! Not gonna happen! Traps and moth balls first...carry 22 in case. Fine big canner full out there. :lol:. Another aggrevation. Guess it will keep the rat snakes away. Well, rather hack a snake. They don't make the mess these have. Like in 2 days! Dirt everywhere. And last night, that big skunk was right up at the back yard. Another uninvited, unwanted....not wanting to trap that.:eek:

PLUS. Yep, more....cat brought 3 kittens up to porch with her tonight! :oops:. They're running along and wild! Wow. That was a surprise. Look 4-6 wks?? More rehoming....and a spay/neuter schedule to set. WTH?

Hope tomorrow isn't full of additions and adventures. :he:th

This has been a busy day......full of surprise! :lol::barnie

72 this morning. Slight overcast...storm front in NE north Carolina, which is only a few miles from me. Light chance of scattered showers late day. I'm good with that! Did a lot of lifting, cutting, mowing, rearranging and trash piling yesterday! Clothes sweat wet and dirty at come in last night....hot shower, cool water and fell into bed. This morning a little sore here and there. Shoulders and back tell me rain and rest would be good today. But some things need attention this morning. Gotta happen, suck it up.

Mon, Tue...rains coming. Maybe 1-2". We need it. Been hot and dry.

At least yard got mowed! Looks like someone lives here, not abandoned property. 🤣


Happy Father's Day to all you guys out there!!
