I got the girls out on paddock without them challenging the fence. Hunger trumps fear.
Why are you eating the short stuff?

Because the short stuff is tender new growth!

Busy bees at the ranch. Four hives are going strong. The swarm I captured a week ago (under smoker) absconded. Oh well, I gave my free bees their resources.

So I am down to 9 chickens from the 14 that left the brooder alive. I thought a hawk got them so I put netting over run. Today Alexander saw Bruno with chicken in his mouth then chasing another. One he was chasing is alive but in undegrowth. Apparently they are small enough to go thru chicken netting. Then Bruno thinks they are fair game.
Snip is going thru teenage a***h0le period. I think the little girls are hitting puberty cause he is sticking his head thru fence to smell their buts. I was carrying hoe today because snakes. Snip decides to rub his head on it and then square up on me. Um, NO! So he got chased into inside pen with several wacks to chest and but. The neighbors at trailer park may think I'm crazy. Cause I was yelling at him "Keep it up and I'm going to EAT YOU!"
Tomorrow we school meetings then Friday I'm going to be bushhogging about an acre. Ugh...

I LOVE my new weedwacker. I took all this overgrown stuff out in about 30minutes of wacking. The rest of the morning was picking up trash with my new wagon.

Awesome! That looks real nice. That big wheeled weed whacker is great!

It's great. I'm glad I was wearing my new snake gaiters though. I found a chunk of barbed wire in the grass. The trimmer whipped it up across my legs and wound it on the spool. Once I got the wire loose, the trimmer started back up without issues.

Wow! Glad you weren’t hurt. Better yet, your weed whacker started right back up!

Today was slower paced with the high wind and storms. 
Did a supply run in the morning for weed eater string and chemicals. A couple of loads of laundry. I sprayed all the pokeweed in front 4 acres before it set berries.
We went out for snow cones. I had a POG passionfruit/ orange/ guava one, yum. We also explored a newly opened feed store in town. They carry Martindale
.
Then I worked on first autorefill trough. I need to glue the fittings and make a guard for the float.
