Living an involuntary hermit's life. Working towards living a healthier, gluten-free, hopefully cancer free life with my 2 dogs, 3 chickens and loving family.



Living with intention

When stumbling through life isn't good enough anymore..... decide to be yourself and enjoy life, and pay attention to Gods gifts all around.

I HATE the Bast@#$S

If you have read my blog, you know I can't stand mice and snakes.  But I have a deal with them.  You stay out of my green house and my home, I wont bother you.  Then there are the squirrels.  We always have a lot of them around our place.  That's OK.  Their cute and don't bother anything.  UNTIL NOW!!.  I get that it's slim pickings out there for them. 


Darn things are too fast for me to even get a good picture of them.

But on Wednesday, I needed to get some chicken scratch and feed for the girls.  I bought a plastic garbage can to hold the feed.  (I KNOW!  I should have bought a metal one, but you said nothing of it at the time.)  I noticed the top not on tightly but didn't think anything was the matter.  Stuck my hand in, felt something furry and SCREAMED like I have never screamed before.  The squirrel jumped out of the can and looked more upset than I.  So I thought MY BAD.  Need to make sure the top is closed tightly on the can.  And this is now what they are doing...........

Scratching, biting and clawing their way in.  I know!  I will buy a metal can this weekend.

I keep a bit of the chicken scratch in a small coffee can for easier use.  So I go get it and they got the top off and spilled the whole thing.  Damn I hate those blasted squirrels.  I am a peaceful pacifist, but if I could run fast enough and had a shovel in my hand,  I seriously would consider murdering the whole bunch of them


There were three by my girls run, and found the ladies cowering in the corner, underneath the Rhodie.

Oh my - what a pain to put up with! It's mice, rats and rabbits to watch out for in regards to chicken feed and gardens around here.
