You have my deepest thanks and congratulations for pulling your Tansy. Apparently my cousin got his kids to do it (or maybe the guy who comes and rides one of the Appaloosas took that on; he's a useful sort of Army Lieut. who misses the farm) so I wasn't stuck with the job.
This wasn't even mine it was for Michelle since 1) she really can't manage withe her injury and 2) she is out of town for a week. I try to leave her pleasant little surprises to return to. I completely filled the big 65gal garbage can plus 2 jumbo G bags that are setting on top.
Ack! I hate tansey! I see it while driving around out here on the side of the road, and I want to pull over and rip it out of the ground! lol So far I havnt had any on my property or at my moms place iether. but the barn that I work at has a fairly good sized patch of it that I am constantly pulling... Tough obnoxious weed!

Sounds like a responsible well-maintained amount for the acreage; there's seven acres south of us that had two pick-up loads, and they cut and sprayed instead of pulling it.
Our hill faces into the NE wind, so it catches every flying seed in late August. Over the years we've tried everything ever recommended by the Extension service, but it always comes down to pull, bag, and swear.

Now if it will just keep raining for at least an hour or so...

Well, parts of it. MY part is also very Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Finnish although I myself am Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and Bohemian in the recent migrants, and English and French in the DAR bits.
There were points in history when there were more Norwegians in Ballard than in Oslo.
you and I will need to compare DAR ancestry
easier to do that than to figure out chicken genetics
May I join in too?

Before your son leaves, have him sneak over one dark night with an oil can.
even easier --- Pam cooking oil spray (or the generic equivalent)
safe to be licked ! and alcohol is the carrier liquid so it seeps and oozes and creeps inside
also it's less obvious that anything has been added, and not very noisy when applied

Upset is hardly the word: perplexed is much closer.
*sigh*
In any case: first blood drawn. The chicken buyers bent a piece of loose wire, the chickens tipped their water over and then fastened it to the ground with a loop of grass, and when the latter let loose I caught the back of my right hand on the former, tracing a six inch scratch parallel to the one inflicted by the kitten the other night, so that bandaging the new without ripping open the healing old is going to be a challenge.
I'm challenging my own record for fastest use of 100 assorted size flexible fabric bandages.
Mondays. Never did trust the things.
much better to forego the bandaid types and use, instead, gauze pads or commercial panti-liners, held on with athletic type bandaging tape, the waterproof stuff, run completely around whatever got savaged ... after a smidgen of Neosporin applied (actually vaseline is just as good)
experience from DH repeatedly bashing the top of his (more or less hairless) head on the bottom of the airplane's throttle-body or strakes -- ditto running hands into those or other stick-outy sharp pieces of metal or fiberglass

haven't caught up yet, was blowing like stink here the last hour (WARM wind !) so was shut down in case of power failure for awhile; it's calmed down now so may start raining, though looks like it's hitting the hills to the south, bypassing us
I really would rather it NOT rain here, the chickens are so enjoying the soft loose dry dirt they've been burrowing into, in the run, during these warm days

oh yeah! after being only child with very few cousins that I knew about, I just LOVE to find more cousins of whatever generation
if it's early Maine or Massachusetts .... it's probable
