I just know it was the "terms" for those parts at the packing plant that I worked in.....having to pull orders and load the trucks for delivery....

The way they bounce around when he trots

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in a knot?
Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
In this case you can do some substitution...

We are getting odd and end things done now that the grass is growing faster than the sheep can keep up with it and the only mowing I'm doing now for feed is for the 8 ewe lambs in the dry lot. We try and let the bottle lambs in with the main herd every day. I think Maisy remembers them as "hers" from the night she cleaned them off. Ever since we have been letting them in with the sheep, Maisy goes wherever they go and if she isn't following them, they are following her.

This morning when we let the chickens out we saw where something had been trying to dig in the fairly small gap under the gate. We walked around and found a similar dig at the other end of the pen. From the size of the scrapes in the dirt, I suspect it's another coon so we set up the trap again.

Maisy is the bottle lambs momma.

That raccoon better go find another chicken coop to mess with.....

One rarely realizes just how big of a population of raccoons there is just about everywhere, since they are so nocturnal.

Even as few trees as I have ON my property, there are plenty surrounding me and I have a big population of the ringtails. I see the empty mussel shells along the pond edges frequently and have caught them on the deer feeders and even in the calf creep feeders.
5 in this picture but I've got other pics of this same feeder with twice this many on and around it.

We made appointments to get our finger prints done at Spring Hill and while we were there we had an early Mother's Day lunch at a new Mexican restaurant that is there. Excellent meal but like usual, it was way too much so we brought a big box of food home to give to the chickens.

Spring Hill used to be a sleepy little town before GM opened a huge plant there and several other major plants opened up there. It is close enough to Franklin that it will be non stop building from there up through Franklin. Fortunate for us is that most of the real estate between there and our area would literally require moving small mountains of solid rock to make them usable.

Why are you getting your finger prints done?

Why are you getting your finger prints done?

Because they want to grow up and become FBI informants.
