MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Yup. Hopefully I can use wire to stop them getting in to the barn.
My next priority is getting them away from the roots of a favorite little tree that I think they will kill by destroying the roots.
I have some bulk hot borrower that is rumored to make them move away. I am skeptical but will try anything!

Is there a smell they dislike?

Is there a smell they dislike?

They are supposed to hate the smell of a particular fritillary bulb.
I planted an army of them.
They ate them all!

I feel bad hating them. They are really just oversized guinea pigs. But they are a real menace. Cute. But a menace.

Awww very cute. Dear little ground hog is loving that peach!

Last night's roosting was very peaceful but the hens were feeling the hot weather.

I REALLY want to pat a Capybara (talking about over-sized guinea-pigs!)

You know you're getting old when you injure yourself while sleeping

I've no clue how I injured my shoulder, all I know is it happened overnight. And it hurts around the back of the joint and beneath the shoulder blade.

It was a double-cat night.

Grey cat stopped by.

So did black cat.

No sign of Tabby.

And no foxes.

Do they bother Blossom?
This guy was looking in at Nightshade today.

I'm not aware of Blossom noticing them.

Long ago there was some yowling and she became attentive and bristled. But that's the only event that comes to mind. I keep Blossom inside at night so she can't hunt native species. She can't come to harm from other cats at night.

I guess the fox is hungry at this time of year.
