Joe saw a fox in our yard today stalking the chickens. Well actually it was either a fox or a coyote, it was gray and in the shadows so he couldn't tell. My first plan was to put a chicken in a cage and wait for it to come and check it out and BAM! I'd shoot it. But then I was having feelings of guilt about killing it and fear that I'd get a bad shot and it wouldn't die and moved onto plan B. Live trap and a chicken drumstick is the new plan. I figure it already has a taste for chicken so a drummie should be the obvious choice. If I catch it we'll be taking a short car trip to a nature preserve in the area. "What if it has babies??" Mom says. Thanks, more added guilt. I figure this is still the less cruel approach and am sticking to it. Will be interesting to see what we catch...I have a feeling the first capture will be a black cat named Spooky.
~In other news today I was attacked by wasps and bitten on the chest. Got in the middle of a horse spat and my ankle was kicked/stepped on, not sure which it was exactly but it hurt. Neil hurt his back at work and is gimping around like an old fart. I keep reminding him he isn't a spring chicken anymore and has to actually pay attention when he lifts heavy crap. Needless to say there was no lack of excitement in the Larson household today.
~Gotta check these couple videos out on YouTube by Tim Hawkins. The first is A Homeschool Family. Kinda makes fun of both homeschoolers and the public who thinks we're freaks, its cute. The next is a spoof of Carrie Underwood's Jesus Take the Wheel called Cletus Take the Reel. I just about peed myself I laughed so hard.
~Here are a few pics I shot today.
Goopy's first time in the grass. Isn't he cute?!?!
That's my beautiful Turken and her pal Tiny in the background.
Hmm...next it may be Operation Eliminate Goopy. Bad, bad kitten!!
