I didn't know we had burrs...

So today, the hens were digging around on a overgrown hill we've neglected to mow. There is a barbed wire fence behind it that leads to a hay field. I was wading around through the 4' grass (keep in mind I am a very tiny woman and only 5'1") on this hill trying to retrieve all the chickens before they squeeze through the barbed wire fence. I manage to herd my 5 away from the tempting hill and go back to the house. My boyfriend is in the kitchen marinating some meat. I come in, and he looks at me for a second and then starts laughing! I said "What?" and he continued laughing. I said "Seriously, what's so funny?". He said "Look down." I look. The front of my sweatpants are covered in burrs! Then I start laughing! "He said "You don't want to see your hair." I go into the bathroom and look. My waist-length hair is stuck full of burrs! Let me tell ya'll, you know your boyfriend loves you when he picks burrs out of your hair while you watch TV and eat barbecue potato chips!

Luckily my boyfriend went out there with some branch cutters earlier and removed all the bushes with burrs. He also went overboard with the weed eater to make it easier to see the chickens on the hill. They freaking love that hill. He found something creepy, a 4' hole with animal bones in it! Luckily they were just turkey bones (we called on our bone-savvy neighbor to help) and we threw them away and filled in the hole with some extra mulch we had from a landscaping project. Then I spent 30 minutes picking burrs out of chicken feathers...
