Granny's gone and done it again

[rIrs roost]

Morning everyone, was rudely awoken by phones ringing this morning. Apparently somebony decided to mess with our stuff last night. SIL car had stuff stolen out of it & for some dumb reason someone went & let out all my laying hens. So when SIL & I did a walk thru to get the birds back in & to see if any of the bird's were missing. No were that I could tell, but I was furious with whoever because my dang birds took it upon themselves to tear up my flower beds that I had just spent weeding & mulching on Saturday. I don't understand why anyone would even mess with my birds. Just doesn't make sense, I expected the stuff in our veggie stand ~ pure maple syrup, pure honey & eggs to have been stolen. I checked & nothing was missing. Why would someone just steal change from SIL car & move a bunch of stuff around in his car & then go let my birds out? Makes me very leary though that a stranger was to the very back of my property

oh no Lisa. I hate thieves. Granny's right it does sound like an inside job. I had my shop broken into at my house not long ago. they broke the lock on the big door and busted the small door. Just for meanness I guess.

well I have to run a few errands. back latter if I don't melt. supposed to be 90+ again today.

I took the phone out of my bedroom.

I would like to know how the water works around here. Its big tower type things .

I can attest to what granny says about her water. I drank water the whole time we were visiting, but there were ocasinos after it had rained that the water got real stinky.

I dont know why it does that. smells like sewage.

ohhh Migrant workers ! that explains it. they were looking for dinner . Probably drunk and not fast enough to catch one.

I try not to judge them on just their heritage. We have had a migrant workers housing next to us for probably 5 years & we have never had any problem with them. Doesn't mean they dont occasionally have a visitor from one of the other migrant housing units though. I'm suspicious of anyone walking around at 11pm back & forth in front of someone's driveway. We are very rural here. It's farm country, maybe a couple times a season we have a item or 2 lifted from the stand, but that's nothing for a self serve stand that's open 24/7

Im sorry to hear that Red, I hate theft as well. If someone would come to the door & explain that they need the food I would just give it to them. We do have a few customers that leave us a note that they are short or just don't have the funds that week, but they will pay us when they do & they always have.

I wasnt judging them on their heritage but their pay scale and the act they were out there. Spare change and a "found" chicken isnt as bad a crime as say, stealing from your stand.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

did they take anything Red ?

I'm a little concerned that it might be a neighbor that is trying to put us out of business. He came about a month ago to tell hubby that he was putting a big veggie stand in at the intersection of our road, but that he wasn't trying to compete with us lol right. That he would be willing to even sell our product. Ok, to me that says, since our Township cracked down on the farmers advertising their veggie stands and we can no longer have a sign at the end of the road guiding people to our stand. That he his willing to buy our product (I'm sure cheaply) or I'm just going to plain put you out of business because who is going to come down to our unadvertised veggie stand when they can stop up at the top of the hill. Frustrating as h3ll.
