I need a cricket trap!
The Ducks love them too, but I'm not very good at catching them.

I get 1,000 3/4" banded crickets from Josh's Frogs for $16 to supplement the brown crickets I catch in the basement. If the temperature is 85°F or below they guarantee live delivery via standard shipping methods.

Got the nest box mounted to the poop table, I think it will work.

I don't really see crickets much, but when I mow the lawn it stirs up grasshoppers. One hen is bold enuf to come really close and she gets so close I have to stop the mower repeatedly. She really likes it when I am mowing around an increasingly smaller area, and the grasshoppers naturally go into that shrinking center ...bonanza for Speckles! That's our rodeo here. One chicken, a lawnmower, and a dozen grasshoppers.

Pig Pen is a worm hound, if I pick up the pitch fork she keeps a keen eye on me. If I walk toward the compost bins she is right there. As soon as a lid comes up she is inside and is not afraid of me turning the compost with the pitch fork. I can slid it under her feet and she won't move off of it. She won't come out until I start to close the lid. Sometime Monique joins her and that makes it tough to turn the compost.

I could have just called it "roadside weeds" but I love these purple flowers....saw many of them today on a drive to KS....this single one is across the road from our house.

Did she or didn't she? Only Katy knows for sure....

Hope all of you Missouri folks got to enjoy the cooler weather today!

In other news...I don’t recall caladiums blooming in the past... but this year we have this:

Maybe Becky G. Actually did it and Katy is jealous.

Beautiful bloom!
