Trouble
You see the trouble, don't you? And I'm getting tired of having to get her out of the tree. She was not the first one that started getting in the tree at night. But when I caught her and put her in the house, she only did it one more time. Thelma is a little more hard headed.
As you can see I have the ladder handy so I can get her and put her in the house.
So now I have to cut some more limbs off. I guess I could have trimmed her wings, but I wanted to try this first. I am leaving for a week on August 28th and having someone close up at night and open in the mornings.
So far, so good. She is going in the house at night.

This morning I sitting on the front porch drinking coffee about eight thirty and my chickens were in the pasture. They started clucking and running every which way. I jumped up and started screaming and running to the fence and saw a coyote running back in the woods. If I hadn't been sitting there, he would have had a chickens. So now, all this week before I leave, I will start walking through the woods morning and evening and hope this will hold him off for the week I will be gone.

Duck Taped Chicken
Poor little Pepper. Well, maybe little is not the right word. Anyway, I put duct tape on her back because she didn't have any feathers. I think Foghorn pulled every last one off.
I learned this little trick from Callie from On The Front Porch. Pepper was hiding all day from the rooster because I'm sure it hurt her back when they jumped on. I think she is doing better now.
Sorry, I haven't been blogging very much lately. One thing it is so hot out, I don't too much care what is going on outside. That's not true. I really do. Hopefully, I will get better.

Naked Ladies
One day I am out by my little fish pond and everything is just as it should be; then the next day I notice my Naked Lady stalks. Of course my weeds around the edge of the fence are distracting.
I just moved them here in the pond area because every year the greenery would come up in the spring and then no Naked Ladies in the summer. Well, this year, three came up. I don't remember how many I planted here, but it was more than three.
They were a pleasant surprise. Maybe next year more will appear.
