More rain! Oh my! And an unwelcome visitor


More rain! We're glad for the garden/wildlife, not so glad for the chickens. Despite having an awning and two tarps over the tractor, it is still leaking like a sieve. So this week's project will be the construction of a new coop.
The pic is one of our unwanted guests residing in our brand new live trap. After we took his pic, off he went down to the creek over at the industrial park. He can live there with the teenager we caught last month and eat the bugs and snakes, and not my eggs.

Revenge of the Chickens!

Last night saw the capture of the second possum hanging about eating our eggs. #1 was a cute little baby, all clean and fuzzy with a pink shiny tail. Last night, not so much. Our uninvited guest was about 8 pounds, and the typical possum dirty. I'm hoping to get the huge one tonight, we'll see how things go!
