The Dog was where?!?!

I've known that Cash was getting up on the table to eat scraps or pull things down to destroy.  But today I learned that he's also getting up on the table, without the use of any chairs, to look out the front windows.

Garden 2016

I decided that we will try a garden again this year, on a much smaller scale.  At this point I'm only sure that we will grow tomatoes, however I'm also leaning towards lettuce and squash as well.  I guess it will depend on what organic and non-gmo seeds and plants I can find.

I'm moving everything over to the half of the garden that we didn't use as much 2 years ago in the hopes of preventing blight by re-planting in the same area.

Playing Possum

This morning the oldest was helping me in the garden and he dragged a trash can over for us to load with dead weeds and grass.  He quickly freaked out saying there was something in the trash can.  I was a safe distance away, so I told him to figure out what it was.  He knocked it down and there laid the possum.

While he did look fierce with those teeth, he wasn't moving at all and the longer I stood there staring into his face, the more pity I took on him.  I told the oldest that he couldn't kill him, as I thought for sure it would go running away as soon as the coast was clear and our chickens would be fine since we were around.

An hour later we had to leave, but I still thought the thing would run away when our noise was gone.

Chickens in a Car

Apparently if you leave the back of the car open too long, Dolly and one of her friends will decide to check things out.

She was in the middle row before I got my camera out.  Luckily no one left us any surprises.
