Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Thanks for the coffee. First cup down the hatch. Getting daylight, gonna take Sentry to the field and let Sheba and Buford out. Sentry has gotten spoiled to being a house dog. Last night he asked to go in the night pen, then changed his mind. He’s ok now, still a little swollen in the throat area, I think he can stay outside tonight. Church this morning, then going to Lufkin to get a few groceries and dog food.

Outside I find this GIFT 😖🥴 a cat felt I needed from the corn field...😱 this rascal is about 5" nose to butt. uhh, NO thanks!

If my kittens started leaving me little offerings I would be saying thank you very very much... go get me another.....
Saw a mouse in the kitchen the other day and got a couple of sticky traps put where the kittens couldn't get into them and got it.... hopefully the same one I saw...
The kittens are into the cabinets alot so hopefully getting the smells and such so they will want to hunt them.... they like to chase anything that moves now... bringing me grasshoppers and crickets they are playing with...
YEP, gross, but after all the ones I have dealt with some dead ones laid out would be a welcome sight for me....
Still... glad they are doing the job for you.....

They have kept all but 2 mice out of house for almost 2 yrs...and barns. So cornfield antics. They are feral, primarily. Couple let me touch them, they come if I call, always around house, porches & barns. None inside, excepts DS cat, whose house trained and in sons place sometimes.

Haven't seen a snake -- THANK YOU!! 👍

I’m pretty sure the feral cats Randy keeps feeding have been HERDING the mice over to my house!
It was somewhat humorous when Fen walked in stuck to a sticky trap 😂

Fen has a particular spot he likes to have his drumsticks so I put a puppy mat there. I forgot to thaw out his ground chicken so I gave him some kibble and a drumstick on his mat @ 5 am when he woke me for his breakfast, not realizing that if he didn’t eat in his crate, that he technically didn’t have breakfast 😵‍💫

Coffee and cake finished, it's after 8, still 62 like it was at 5:30, and the fog is very very pea soupy. Can't see more than ~50ft at best. Looks like it'll clear and then another roll comes in. It's too thick to go out and graze with the coyote activity lately. I hear them close in at night but haven't seen them during the day but when I'm either out weed whacking (all the dead dry stuff) or out grazing I can see that they've been here, their calling cards are on the road. Looks like they've been eating a lot of "veggies" and missing the rabbits and squirrels. it also looks like they've been eating castor plant seeds-- makes me wonder how they are still alive much less walking our ranch road.
Ah - still pea soup fog -- so much now the ground looks like it has rained, - grazing still possible and hopefully will do it - and it's Zo's day (there I said it, now the fog has to lift so I can do it).
EDIT ….. not yet 9 for still here and
it’s officially raining - the rain chain says so (even though the phone forecast says it isn’t)

Edit to the edit - just checked the forecast and it says....
"Expect dry conditions for the next 6 hours."

Gotta love all the sophisticated equipment that "helps the forecasters" make all these forecasts...
LOOK OUT THE WINDOW sometimes.....

One of the kittens got stuck to a sticky trap right when they first moved over to the house... it was yowling and I got a few scratches getting it off... so I quick went around and tried to get all the rest I had out... and make sure I had snapped the regular traps...

Many years ago I had a Battle Royal with rats in my barn... very long story shortened way up... the horse lost a chunk of her tail & had a shaved rectangle on her side & I gave up on my "no poison" rule...
🤣

Been a busy couple of days & I'm finally checking in to see what everyone's up to.
@Mini Horses & @farmerjan did yall make it to Gilmanor?.... it was someone's birthday wasn't it?????🎂🎈
I decided to go to Lewis Ginter for the 'big plant sale'. Lots of VERY nice & informative vendors... but only 2 rows in the parking lot. 🙄 DID get 2 pawpaw trees 🎉.
Went to church this AM & got Dad to come to the house for a simple lunch of hot ham & cheese sandwiches & a movie (Facing The Giants).
Then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to make things nice for my sister's visit.
