The Renovation is going just fine - these are just the funny (except the snake) things that happened along the way...Such an Adventure! We love it!
Caught a Possum in the Chicken Coop - let it go in the woods - about a mile away. He'll probably find his way back - but maybe not - I'm sure there are many more in the area. They are great for eating bugs and really great to have around - but maybe not in your chicken coop. They don't eat the chickens, but they will eat eggs - and we want those eggs for baking our sweet treats and our yummy breakfasts...
I opened the drawer in a cabinet, in the coop to get out some mealworms for the chickens and there was a snake in there - made me let out a scream - and then, I just stopped and admired it's colors and patterns. It's smart, found a great place to live, food, warmth and company....
Everyone now knows where the food is stored so they will climb right up the ramp and try to muscle their way in to get to the food containers...and if we didn't put the top back on the buckets tightly, they would stand and eat right there for who knows how long. We try to remember to close up the trailer, but sometimes we get preoccupied with something else.
The lambs crawl through the wider rungs of the gate and eat from the other side so they don't get squished by their big fluffy moms, aunts and uncles. Glad that they are getting some feed, but once they experience 'the outside' they make a daily habit of it - especially when there are several lambs. They don't wander far, but they are still nursing - so, we'll see.
Something going on here - a hen buried her head in the hay bale and an egg popped out the other end....
There are no chores or projects around our farm that we do not receive assistance from someone - they are all so nosey...
We can't leave the truck door open, while we bring groceries into the cabin or Mr. Nosey will jump in and look around within minutes of our arrival home - also mama will jump in and lay an egg on the warm floor mats.
We Can't leave any food out because the prior occupants will pay a visit and leave things for you - and nibble on your fruit or really anything - they like bread also. Those little Red Squirrels are really cute - they are like little cartoon characters. One day, I walked in and there was this cute little face on our makeshift kitchen table.... he looked at me like 'who are you and why are you in my house'. We can hear them running around upstairs - have not opened the door yet to the upper floor - I'm sure it's going to be quite the sight.... can't wait...we'll have to attack it soon - before it attacks us....
