Went to a field trial
Added fresh bedding to the coops of the dogs that went to the trial.

Using my sewing machine and the needle keeps jamming. I'll try to figure out what's wrong tomorrow...

Make sure the shoulder plate's set properly and your needle's secured in as far as it'll go. In my older machine, that irritating little issue rears its' head quite regularly, any time I reset a needle or clear out the bobbin case.

I treated the poison ivy I got from the first round of a major yard cleanout.

I thanked the guys picking up yard waste for taking the "tree," too - didn't expect that!

I will yank down the rest of the Virginia creeper trying move into my attic from the back steps.

 

[sourland]

Updated all the treasurer's records for the beagle club.
Played sous chef and prepared vegetables for the supper meal the Princess is making.
Worked two dogs.

Yesterday I put out lime and pine bark with hope that the lime will help decompose the feed on the floor faster and the pine bark strong smell will somehow deter those nasty rodents.

This morning I checked, the rodents came back last night and had a party in 3 of my chicken runs, their poops are everywhere and it was a big clean up again.

So what I will do today...

I did the rodent poops clean up already
Check out on the rodent proof feeder
Monitor the rodent poop eating hen

And calm myself down....I am feeling at the moment that this is getting to me big time, this is my last flock of chickens, there is no energy left in me to march on. Endless illness, bullying, fighting, broodiness, and now rodent infestation...I am calling it a day now.

 

[BoundlessLove]

Bagged up all of the smoked meat and put in the freezer.
Decorated for autumn.
Washed laundry.
Made a trip to the co-op.
Use some of the smoked meat and made a pot of Brunswick stew for supper. Have a peach and blueberry cobbler in the oven now.

I think we are the same person. Hang in there, Sky! Of course your chickens want to eat the rat poops...
