Got your attention, didn't I? This is mostly about weather here in southwest Missouri. As a lot of folks know, we have been in a drought for a while...so much so that we were fearful of finding enough hay at a reasonable price to feed the cows thru the winter. By reasonable, I mean less than $50.00 a roll....most of the hay we were seeing was close to 100;00 per roll and that just isn't in the cards for us...we needed at least 15 rolls to get thru the winter....do the math, folks!
John had to get chicken feed the other day and asked the shop if they knew of anyone who was selling hay....turns out they did. And the folks who were selling hay are friends of ours! So I got hold of the wife and she asked the husband and this past weekend, they brought over 15 rolls of hay! John and another friend used their tractors to offload the hat and placed it wherever they could. John will formally store it this weekend. In the meantime, here is my side yard.
As to the second heading in this blog entry....John is so tired of using a trap to get rid of the predators to his chickens...he finally talked me into letting him get a gun. He has waiting patiently for 4 months to get an HR 001V rifle to shoot foxes and raccoons and other predators. Interestingly enough, the V in the rifle designator stands for Varmint. So John now owns a Varmint Rifle. He still needs to get a scope for it but that won't take as long as getting the actual rifle did. He's recently lost 2 more of his egg-layers...sigh.
He is hoping he can get rid of the creatures who are attacking his chickens. More on that later, I'm sure.
Hey, thanks for stopping by.
