If you get it, you're our people.
Seriously, we got our first big picking of tomatoes this week. Between deer and groundhogs, we felt lucky to get these. Lawman says these are earmarked for tomato soup.
We picked another big batch of blackberries this week, and one rainy day was put to good use.
We've got enough blackberry jelly, we think?
Cupcake found a recipe for pecan pie cookies and wanted to try them. And what Cupcake wants, Cupcake gets.
The rest of the week goings on was geared toward predators. If that offends you, stop reading here. You've been warned.
Lawman put a game camera in the yard with a little dab of coyote lure. The first night, we got activity.
Lawman set up a sniper nest the next night and waited.
He got one half of the above pictures
The night after that, he got the mate. They were a little loud smelling, but now we don't have to sweat the DT's getting sprayed again. As they say, you gotta break some eggs to make omelettes
The following night, he got the other half of the pictures.
And the day after that, he got the mate to this one. It ran down in a brushy part of the Acre, and wasn't worth the work to get a picture, but the foxes haven't been on camera since the last one got got. Problem solved, problem staying solved. We started this spring with 100 chickens, our last count we had just over three dozen. Lawman says the foxxes are lucky he could only kill them once.
We ended the week with a couple of naps and a predator free yard.
