JUSTUSNAK...Summer coming to an end!?

[framing fowl]

Wow! What a great little tree! I'm jealous that yours has a red leaf. We've been so hot and so dry that the leaves here aren't turning. They're just dried brown and blowing off. Nothing pretty here about this fall

 

[justusnak]

Thats the ONLY little one with a red leaf. Of course, its near the bird bath, so it gets water.... However, next spring...its gotta go! Silly little tree....cant grow next to the sidewalk! I just love sweetgum trees....they smell so nice!

What a cute little tree . . . I'm so ready for some fall weather, but I don't think we'll see any for at least another month. Sometimes it sucks to live in Florida.

So, last night my best friend calls....around 9 pm. As usual, we talk way into the night. I think it was about 12:30 when we finally hung up. So, I get straight to bed...and was sleeping well, when I heard my ducks screaming! I jump out of bed....run to the door and grab a flashlight. Shining it on the duck pen, I see 2 littl ebeady eyes stareing back at me. Oh, this isn't going to be good, I can tell. So I came back in, grabbed the gun as head out the door as I tell hubby, there is something in the duck pen. He of couse jumps up and follows me out, taking the gun from me! :/ We get out there to see an opossum in there, just stareing at us! He slowly climbs the fence and sets on top of it. Acting more like WE were the pest. Hubby takes aim, POW, right in the back of the left shoulder. It turns and looks at us, hissing...Have I told you how I HATE opossums!?? Hubby takes another shot...POW, in the head. It looks at us again, hissing...and slowly starts to climb the fence again! Are you KIDDING ME!?? POW, another shot, this time the sucker falls to the ground. Whew! Ducks safe! So we come inside, and I promised to take care of it in the morning. It was after all outside the duck pen. SO, after coffee, and feeding the sheep, goats and pigs, I mosey over to the opossum. It turns its head and stares at me!!!!!! Its NOT DEAD!! My neighbor was with me and she runs to the house for the gun. I am standing there looking at the opossum, and it hisses. It took 2 more shots to the head, to finish it off! What a tough critter!! So, it was only a .22 but still! 5 shots!??? JEESH! So now mr opossum is in the woods....makeing fertilizer. :/ Ducks and chickens are safe.

After the shock and the creepy image of a partially dead opossum... then it's a little funny! That will make a great story.

Aww, what a waste of 'possum. A little seasoning, some sweet potatoes, and you would have had the makings of lunch.
