Bruce's Journal

[Baymule]

Bruce, we had lamb for supper last night. Leg of lamb to be more specific, sliced, tenderized, seasoned, floured and fried in hog lard. Mmmmm.......... good! I fixed garlic mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it. So yummy! BWA-HA-HA

Mr. @Bruce, sir,

I simply cannot understand why you want to live in Vermont, where the weather is boring. You could be enjoying the exciting weather that I, Miss @Baymule, Miss @frustratedearthmother, Miss @Jesusfreak101, and others will be enjoying today:

Me either STA, nothing like thunderstorms, torrential rain, blow the roof off winds and tornadoes to make life fun

Bruce, we had lamb for supper last night. Leg of lamb to be more specific, sliced, tenderized, seasoned, floured and fried in hog lard.

I fixed garlic mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it.

DW spotted a #$%^& woodchuck out in the backyard by the little barn this evening. Time to get out the Havahart. Don't know where this one came from or when it arrived. I was groundhog free last year.

Tonight we had the rest of the lamb and I made potato patties with the leftover mashed potatoes.

The chuck could be last year's litter being pushed out to make their own way and territory to establish.....

 

[Bruce]

More than likely. And every time I clear the little buggers out new ones come and say "Whoa! Look at this great property, lots of tunnels and dens. No work at all!"

I think Maisy may be digging for one but I haven't found where. Every time I've seen her today she is about twice as dirty as the last time.

 

[Bruce]

I hope if she finds it she hasn't dug up a hundred feet of pasture to get there!

 

[Baymule]

And all we've got is gophers...… Our place is deep mined from the dogs digging frantically to get them. Darn gophers. Chucks sound like gophers on steroids.....

 

[Bruce]

Oh yeah. We had gophers when I was a kid in So. Cal. I remember the traps that were set in the holes to kill them as they came out. Woodchucks are easily 8X their size. And of course so are the tunnels and holes. You CAN easily put your foot into a woodchuck hole and damage yourself. The tunnels go 50' to 100' ... and they have several of them. Whole underground networks.
