The end of July

Hello wonderful friends! hope you are all doing great!

Can you believe July is almost over?! summer always goes by so quick!

Things have been busy here on the farm. Lots of babies hatching and plants growing!

The cats were on the ball and killed this fierce killer a couple of days ago. It's a short tailed weasel, also called a stout or ermine. Absolutely adorable creatures, but unfortunately they are a HUGE threat to the birds. They can fit through a quarter size hole and will kill everybody in the coop just for the fun of it. It's the first weasel-type critter we've seen around here and hopefully the last. They are mighty scary to me. Much easier to protect my feathered friends from foxes and coyotes.


My turkey poults are growing quickly and have started freernaging. 


The turkey poults live with my pheasants. I left the door open yesterday so the pheasants could come out too, but they never did! The door was open all day yesterday and they never left! LOL Guess they decided the outdoor world was too scary. I don't blame them! The door is open again today, maybe they'll decide to come out :) 


Wishing you all, all the best! huge love!

I got my second covid-19 vaccine a couple of days ago. very thankful to get it and be better protected!

Here's some pics from around the farm :)

this is Gus the cat beside a giant hole the chickens and guineas made to dirt bath in. What a bunch of twits! My whole lawn near the house has holes all over the place!
