It wasn't a mouse, it was a squirrel! There were 2 of the crazy idiots in the other lane as I was coming home. Knowing how they are, I slowed down. One ran off to the left, the other, ran to the right-right into my boot! I don't know what it did for sure after that because I couldn't see it. But, when I looked behind me, there was no sign of it, so I figure it was OK.
In other news, I'm finally getting back on track at the farm again. I've had just too much to do lately, what w/getting that hay last week, doing some barn sitting, the heat, etc, and I haven't been keeping my pasture picked up. I need to mow-the pig weed is getting high. But, I don't want to mow all the poop-it will just scatter it around some, and I want it cleaned up! So, today I started cleaning once again. I worked for about 2.5 hours on it! I've divided it up into 3 sections for when I do any work. Today, I got section 1 cleaned up! I couldn't believe the amount of poop in there. Tomorrow, I'll get section 2 done, and maybe start on section 3. And, that doesn't include what they've done in the stalls. I'm also pulling jimson weed as I go. There's not a lot in there, but I don't want to take any chances. I've heard of people ending up in the ER after mowing over it. Once it's cleaned and mowed, I'll be working on getting rid of the weeds along the fence line. I had hoped to work on something for the chickens this weekend, but I forgot that this weekend is the 4 H fair. So, I'll be going there.
Penny is still sitting on her eggs. I put something right over top of where she's hiding to keep the rain off of her-and I'm glad I did. Last evening, we had a heavy rain fall. I checked on her afterward. The piece of stuff looks like it probably kept her pretty dry. Roxi is still laying in her nest, so today I raided it. I took 7, and left 6. I numbered those 6, and added one of Angel's eggs. I'm going to try for an equal number of eggs from both girls. Then, if Penny doesn't hatch any out, hopefully, Roxi will.
