Yummy treats

Every summer, my inlaws plant a little patch of corn. My mother-in-law freezes what they can't eat, and then my father-in-law cuts down the stalks and brings them to our cattle. Bessie (left) and Tilly (right) 8/21/21 They sure do love them!

The chickens had visitors today!

February 22, 2021 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Ted was able to push the opossum back under the fence (the same spot where it came in), and it played dead the entire time. He walked all the way back to the garage and got the snow shovel, and it still played dead. He put it in the snow shovel and carried it all … Continue reading The chickens had visitors today!

Ted went to lock up the chickens and wouldn't let the girls go. They've been staring intently at the door since he went out.
