So sorry to hear this! My uncle had a mink get in once....he lost quite a few.

Yay! My chickens that have been fighting roosting at night were on the roosts just now! Probably since it is cold outside. In warmer weather they want to sleep outside

In spite of the best laid plans to do more fishing, the summer was over without my having gone once. Tomorrow I'm getting up early and driving to a friend's house to pick him up and go fish the Huron River downstream from Flat Rock. Last year he took over 50 steelhead, with several over 12 pounds, from the Huron. Hopefully, the rain will stay away at least until I'm headed back home.
David saw several salmon and steelhead at the Grand River fish ladder in Lansing last week so maybe I'll try fishing that next week. Since I've never fished that far upstream before it should be interesting.

They can't stop fighting until you allow them to establish their pecking order. Squabbles are normal when two animals meet one another up close and personal for the first time. As long as there's room for them to move around and for whomever ends up on the bottom of the totem pole to retreat there is no reason to interfere with their natural order of working things out unless things get very, VERY ugly. That RARELY happens.

My fishing pretty much starts in Septemeber and goes on thru November. The salmon, steelies, and browns run at different times. I flyfish mostly for fresh fish that get put up for smoking, grilling, or patties. The rivers north and west of Baldwin are where I do my work. Occasionaly I'll drown a worm, or cast plugs for spring bass, walleye, and such. If I had a bigger boat my choice fish would be walleye on crawler rigs. That's the best eating I think. Good luck.

Is this from your yard? Very pretty and I love the unique vase....just my style!

Thanks

Yes, it is from my yard and since it has gotten cold I thought I would bring it in so I could enjoy it. That is my favorite vase too.

I did not even get a fishing license this year. I hate to spend the money and then wind up only going out once.
