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.

Woodpeckers

February 16, 2021February 16, 2021 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

The other morning, Ted swore up and down that he was hearing a woodpecker. I could hear a knocking noise but thought it was something rattling around on my metal baking table from the vibrations of the dishwashers. Imagine my surprise when later the next day I looked out at the bird feeders on the … Continue reading Woodpeckers

The tree

February 15, 2021February 13, 2021 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

The lightning hit on the right side years ago. The tree trimming guys were sent by the electric company earlier this week, and they said this tree has to be cut down. They said the neighbor gave them permission to cut down what they wanted, and they think this tree is on his side of … Continue reading The tree

Friday

Friday is a terror. I know she doesn't look like it, but she IS. See that toy under her? We have to hide it at night or else she runs all over the house with it, dragging it from one room to another, over and over and over. She thumps up and down the stairs … Continue reading Friday

Mud. I farm mud.

February 10, 2021February 7, 2021 / strivingacres / 1 Comment

When the snow melts off, it's just mud; mud everywhere. Ugh. Belle, Bessie, and Tilley just come in here for feed. They hate the mud, too. I think I speak for all of us here when I say that we cannot wait for spring to arrive! DG thoroughly agrees.
