Food fight!

     When I placed two ears  of corn in the front yard I expected fox squirrels to run off with them. Instead they provoked a food fight! Two blue jays squared off against blackbirds. The blackbirds had numbers but the jays were more proficient at extracting the kernels from the cobs. Winners? Blue jays!

     I FINISHED picking rocks!!!!!! No doubt there are still rocks in the field but I've covered all the ground, at least once, now! The next nice day I'll take the loader to pick up the one rock to heavy to lift. This gives me a sense of accomplishment and now I can turn to other tasks...persistence pays off. 

     My grass was host to a neighbor's cattle again today. He'd let them out of his pasture into a soybean field that he'd harvested. Deer, running at night don't see the electric fence wire he was using to contain them and knock it down. The farmer's pasture, from which they enter the bean field, doesn't have enough grass left for them because it hasn't rained for weeks. They're welcome to my grass. 

Takk for alt,

So excited about my ability to post pictures again I'll post a random shot or two. 😊

                                       Where will my neighboring tortoise spend the winter?
