What's happening around here...

I shredded/mowed the back pasture at the property and finished, finally, whew!!


 Before I started at about 11:15am

After I finished at about 1pm
Such a good feeling when you accomplish something for the day! It was Hot today too and I did take a 15 minute break and went and took a dip in the pool.
Tonight Michael and I went down and picked up the tractor and I brought it up to the house so I can start shredding/mowing up here at the house. Hopefully we'll get some rain this weekend and the grass will grow.


 Fred's truck...it's Muddy!! He cleaned off the headlights but that was it, what a mess. He was driving some back country roads down around Cotulla Texas and said they were awful. Puddles almost as wide as our house and he said you'd get in the middle of them and the truck would drop another 2 feet, ekk. Glad I don't have to clean that truck, I'd rather mow!


 Lydia brought me a present last night and I ran for the house, glad I did...This is what I found this morning, ugh! A dead headless snake, the chickens thought it was delicious!



The baby chicks this morning, they seem to be doing well.

We have another hen that is setting and I am getting her some fertile eggs to sit on. Maybe we'll have some more babies?


I saw this spider hanging from her web this morning. There sure are a lot of spiders around right now. Not too fond of walking around the yard at night or early morning, it seems I am always walking into a web...nothing like doing a little web dance!

Hope y'all had a great day!

Hahaha!
Mowing and shredding is something we well know here too!
What a pleasure when it's done!
I feel sorry for you about the fire ants, that is a real pain!
When we lived in North Carolina, they were just appearing!
Too bad the snake is dead, they are so useful against rodents. It doesn't look like a dangerous one... at least it fed your chickens! LOL!
Keep well Wendy!
