Gosh -- could not do Alaska. Cold & snow are not part of my comfort zone.
It's 72 here right now. Very nice out. "They" say we may get scattered showers today -- the heat & humidity kind, mostly late day & short lived. Haven't felt humidity issues last few days, so
BUT -- I could use some rain!! Been dry and pretty warm for last 10 days with no rains. Looks like another 3-4 days before any seems to be a "for sure". It would sure help these just mowed fields to recover. Meanwhile, the heat is helping kill out the unwanted stuff. What regrows will be the goats delight to mow down.
The new cut makes them work more on the honeysuckle -- that is slowly taking over!!
Now that kids are older, the does will take them into the back fields and not be so stressed to return them to their barn safety. And, the kids are less sleep anxious...as a group, they can easily deforest a fence line!!! Today we will play "pied piper" and visit an area needing their attention. I threw several big limbs for fresh leaves to them yesterday. 5 minutes and all leaves GONE.
They are serious eaters.
The 2 bucks, that I recently included a corner of "stuff" into their field, have completely cleared it. Good job, guys.
Was low 90s but a little breeze, humidity not bad either. Love using my tractor. Now, a shower & to bed.
.....my days work was monitoring the AC....making sure it worked Properly.....
Many of the younger generation just do not realize how those veterans, many who gave it all, made our lives free today! Sadly.
Will give it until tonight, then get it to a rescue. Probably a young, FF doe who is too scared to come back or has been in a tragedy. But, I don't THINK she'd bring it back into a field I just cut and I don't feel another spotted has come in. I did still leave a nice area for it to hide and have seen it in there. Sad, really. It needs milk. Against the law to maintain one in VA unless licensed to do so. There's a unit near me. Will call them later today for advice and assistance. Hoping all goes well for the fawn.
