We are really enjoying the cooler mornings.....
and the lighting is spectacular.....
The weather guy says that we may have our first frost in about 3 weeks....so the second week of October sounds about right.
Some of us were talking and we think this crazy moon has really brought out the predators.
Keep the clucks locked up tight folks! And be sure to check your hen houses for any signs that something is trying to chew its way inside. One of my buddy's lost his whole flock in one night.
We are letting the dogs be outside on patrol for longer and longer in the evenings and in the early mornings. Kai thinks its the best thing that has every happened to her in her whole life. She comes back to the house wet from the grass and covered in seeds. Completing the fencing on all sides is probably the best project we've ever done. I'll be happy when I go out and find my first varmint in the yard and Kai standing over it victoriously.
Happy Tuesday everyone! Are you tired of this moon also? Anybody acting funny?

HOUSEKEEPING: I think I enabled the mobile devices template... if you view this on your phone... will you let me know if it looks better? Did it work? My phone is from the Dollar Store as been missing for days (I think the chickens have it)... so I can't check this feature. But I hope it works and makes it easier to view. Thanks!

I saw a fox at the edge of our field for the very first time last night! Maybe it IS the moon!
Hi OFG. I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now. I found you on the SS board. Your blog is so informative and funny that I had to go all the way back to your first post and read them all. I think your just great! And I think everyone is right, you should write a book. I'd buy it! and I'd read it too!
"I'll be happy when I go out and find my first varmint in the yard and Kai standing over it victoriously." My boys got a possum last night. :)
