Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

I moved the girls to some fresh grass this morning. Actually I didn't "move" anything as all I did was open a gate. I had brought a chair so I could spend some time grooming Maisy and as I sat there looking around, I got up and went back to the house to get the camera so I could share the sight that we have never taken for granted. The trees in the last picture are mostly Maples with a couple of Crepe Myrtles at the far end that Teresa and I started from seed back when we first bought our place but still lived in Charleston.

This paddock has more Crabgrass than the others and it is doing great. The others I had made a couple of paths by cutting the existing growth and broadcast. This one I cut it all and over seeded it.

Mike, your place is gorgeous and looks so peaceful!

 

[Mike CHS]

Thanks. We do feel Blessed.

And Blessed y’all are. That’s a beautiful view. So the lambs went shopping in your shop? They aren’t stupid!

We lock the chickens in at night and haven't lost any during the night but something got into the coop today and ate several eggs. Something even dragged one of the fake eggs our of the nest and you could see teeth marks all over it. I'm suspecting possum again but could be a racoon. Our pen fence is on the property line with a small bit of woods next to it but I maintain it for the neighbors since it affects the way our place looks. We can't set out the traps on our side during the day because the chickens would get in and trip them but since the critter (whatever it is) is coming from the neighbors side, I'll set two baited traps on their property. We did ask permission of course in case anyone has a problem with that.

I hope you catch whatever it is.

We have a loft that serves as a spare sleeping space but also has oversized cabinets that I built for storage but I rarely go up there. I was on my way out for chores and I looked up and saw the little sign that we had put up there several years ago and I figured some pictures would show a bit more about our home.
