Well... not really a problem (yet) but there are definitely a few raccoon checking out the farm. Farmer J was a little late "tuckin' in" the farm (i.e., locking the barn, shutting up the garden (recall the very tall fence that completely surrounds our precious fruits and veggies), putting away the garden tools and toys etc.) when he found a furry, little friend in his garden (with a belly full of, not so ripe, strawberries.) The scared little fella kept trying to escape but instead, found himself running right into the very fence that was meant to keep him out (do raccoon acknowledge irony?) Finally, he was free. J also spotted a raccoon eyeing up our chickens. Truth be told, the chickens are not 'my babies' much at all-- they are very much Farmer J's babies. He really loves his birds. So... he doesn't want any of them to get hurt by Mister Raccoon.
Any speaking of beauty... May I present, Miss Primrose.
'Free-range' chicken time... but only under the careful watch of Farmer J and only during the day time.
I quite enjoy watching my chickens from my kitchen window as I do the dishes. Very entertaining!
The birds are getting rather big (especially the "white giants" seen below). J said he heard his first "cluck" today. They love to "roost" on the branches J put in the coop!
And here are some shots of Fisherman J from our recent trip to my parent's lake home for Memorial Day Weekend.
This one JJ caught!!!
J caught this one while fishing off the pontoon!
And the fish bit back while J tried to get the lure out without pliers! Battle wound.
Male bonding! One moment of peaceful fishing...until the next lure was caught in the weeds, or fishing lines were crossed, or someone was cold, or someone wanted a new lure, or someone wanted someone else's reel. You get the picture! Thank goodness for a patient Dada!
The rare lake experience... spotting superman on the pier!
And finally... a great shot of a turtle-taken up north as well!
