Granny's gone and done it again

Lets make if official and everyone go do bed, preferably their own.

Sweet Dreams, Fuzzies and Prayers for all.

Good night Twist and Granny.

Why? What's the fishing line for, Cap?


Welcome to my world!

Fishing line is a barrier to deer jumping in. I used it in my other garden.

Sad day here, had our Gracie put down this morning. We've seen this day coming but it kind of sneaked up on us. She'd been having trouble getting up the stairs from our bedroom in the basement so I took her to the vet Friday. He gave us some pain pills and anti-inflammatories to manage the arthritis in her hips but she got much worse over the weekend and stumbled going up a couple times and would have fallen if I hadn't been right behind her to catch and support her. She stopped going downstairs during the day which was her favorite place to be and this morning she really didn't want to come up at all, so I knew it was time. She's been a good little farm dog, fearless and loyal and we're going to miss her. It's a comfort to me to know that we did the right thing for her and she's not in pain any more.

I got my order for $80 of OTC pharmacy stuff for 3 months sent in tonight. Nice insurance benefit. And it ships free!

Chuckle for your day!
A farmer had 5 female pigs. Times were hard, so he decided to take them to the county fair and sell them. At the fair, he met another farmer who owned five male pigs, and after talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50.
The farmers lived 60 miles apart, so they decided to drive 30 miles each and find a field in which to let the pigs mate. The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5 A.M., loaded the pigs into the family station wagon, (which was the only vehicle he had) and drove the thirty miles.
While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer, "How will I know if they are pregnant? The other farmer replied, "If they're lying in the grass tomorrow morning, they're pregnant. If they're lying in the mud, they're not."
The next morning the pigs were rolling in the mud, so he hosed them off, loaded them into the family station wagon again and proceeded to try again. This continued each morning for more than a week and both farmers were worn out.
The next morning, he was too tired to get out of bed. So he called his wife, "Honey, please look outside and tell me whether the pigs are in the mud or in the grass."
"Neither," yelled his wife, "they're in the station wagon, and one of them is honking the horn."

Really! At what height(s) do you put it? Does it work to keep chickens out of a garden? (Expecting answer to be loud laughter.)

Thanks, Cap.
