Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

Waking up was awful after sleeping so long in one go

It's a long way back, isn't it?

OK, I've done a head count, looked at the new chicks, looked at the old ducks, taken a quick survey of the male/female ratios.

Setting another batch of chicken eggs this weekend. and hopefully processing four birds - two drakes, two roos.

Could not manage to fit the 4th in frame. Given how big they are already, it's amazing how skittish turkeys are.

Oh yeah. It takes a fair deal of effort to make them into cuddle-bugs

This, loosely,is the FL Panhandle. If I included a bit more of Alabama, and a bit less of the coast, it would be called the "Wiregrass" for reasons you can likely guess at. In any event, doesn't seem like I'll be culling those extra drakes and roos this AM.

Another line behind this (slow moving) one. This afternoon isn't looking great either.

How well does your property drain?

How well does your property drain?

there is a 60' change in elevation from where the RV is parked to where the driveway meats the street, or close to it.

Sea levels could rise 100' and my place still wouldn't be a sodden mess, unlike most of FL. so.... Good?

(Actually, the steady change in elevation is why when acre inches of rainfall all get channeled down my driveway I have to pull out the tractor with the box blade and go fill in the rut it cuts. That's this AM's job.)

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Yup, still here - (35m sea level rise projection). I will say the local swamp has increased in size a bit. Will need a jon boat by that point. Don't plan on being around in that century.

^^ Good visual.
