Weasel

We got a few things done today. We got up early and went out to breakfast. We got home and did stuff around the house.


The baby birds are getting bigger. We got this indoor greenhouse thing at Lowe's yesterday with some seeds. If you can't read them in the picture the seeds are sweet corn, green beans, cow peas and hollyhocks.

We got some new weather stripping at Lowe's too. I moved the feed bucket hooks to the other side of the posts in hopes that giant horses will find it more appealing and not trample us to death as we feed them. This procedure was, of course, thoroughly fascinating to the giant horses.

Lisa pulled the barbs off the wire next to the new feed bucket hooks so the giant horses don't poke themselves. The girls came out to watch.

I walked the fence which caught the attention of the giant horses. Bahloo came galloping down the hill to me. Seeing that horse running full speed, down hill, in the mud straight at you is something to behold. I moved quickly to the side just in case she didn't stop in time. The three little strands of barbed wire wouldn't have slowed her much if she slipped in the mud. Bahloo has been playing in the mud.

Heidi played in the mud some too. I found the weasel. It had been dead for a while. Barbara had said she saw one walking across the yard last summer.
