Surviving Minnesota!

Home again!

I am a little disappointed, the WWD left for work without making and leaving me a nice hot breakfast or even a cold one I could nuke. She is failing in her wifely duties!

At least she did feed the dogs and left me a note saying she did. We have to leave notes for each other because of Pearl. We have found Pearl scams us into thinking they have not been fed yet, so we feed them a second time. She has managed to get two meals more than a few times...

I am going to try and get a little done in the barn today but this rain is taking all the fun out of being outdoors.

Jerry, you will be really tired of rain if you get what we are going through. Bummer about the root and blade, luckily it did not bend a shaft. I have a couple silver maples here, not my favorite tree. In addition to the roots I think they are a dirty tree. If I am going t have dirty trees I would prefer a weeping willow.

I lost my White Pullet I was going to show yesterday, I found her dead in the nest. I assume an impacted egg or some egg track problem.. Darn nice bird to lose it that way... I never noticed until she was not on the run last night.View attachment 1151362

Sorry you lost the sweet little pullet.
 
Wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the chicks this morning in recent light of the fox in the henhouse. So I wandered back there just to see what's what and the stupid fox was under the coop. Even stupider me did not have the rifle. So the chicks are staying in today and the rifle is loaded and ready. I guess I'm on guard duty today. That fox is not afraid of people, it barely trotted away when it saw me so I suspect it'll be back sooner than later.
I'd be cautious of a fox not scared of you. It could have rabies. There was a fox in St. Paul a few years ago that attacked two people in a park (don't remember which one anymore) that was rabid. I hope you get him before he gets any of your birds!
