Yup- the new and improved chicken yard is up, complete with chicken wire reinforcement and electric strings on the top. Soon, a single run of electric will be run on the lower outside to further deter climbing varmints. The pounding of t-posts was a breeze and stringing the fence relatively easy. You would think they had practice...

Using physics, shrubberies were removed from the Springfield house. Yay!

Blind Hog burned the brush pile, Acorn went crazy wit the push mower and various weed whacking devices. Enough for the day!

Phew! Talk about sweat'n!

Blind Hog and Acorn got a new project put to the top of the list- seems a vixen has been responsible, at least partially, in the decreasing number of laying hens. A new chicken yard is to be erected and while they are at it, the gate posts at the top the drive are being replaced. One post was done today! Yay!

New pullets purchased, at least Acorn HOPES they are pullets... She and Blind Hog had to grab them while the owner just stood and watched...

Garden has been doing super good since the Maximum Security Garden has been powered up. 7.5 joules of loveliness atop and outside the 4' fencing and chicken wire barrier.

Mid-July and it certainly feels like summer... Hard to believe the days are really getting shorter.

Busy week at the farm... Acorn fighting deer, Blind Hog on the mower... Both farmers dealing with "natural selection" when it comes to goat kids.

Sam killt a groundhog and made himself very happy. A 13 pounder! Blind Hog was able to retrieve "the body" before Sam tucked in. That dog will eviscerate a groundhog and leave nothing but a pelt with paws...

New battery pushmower with a bonus battery! Chest freezer replacement!

Acorn got overheated out doing the garden fencing but sitting down for an hour under a fan did a world of good. Not going to do much more today, that is for sure!

Wil be interesting to see of the 7 joule fence will thwart Bambi and Faline. Fingers crossed!
