Today, the girls have learned two very important lessons about living on the farm and it's only 9:30am:
1) How to dispose of the chicken that the coon got ahold of yesterday, since we found it this morning during the morning egg check. The key to this task is to hold your breath and move very, very quickly. If you follow our numbers, were down to 3 chickens now. Urrrggghhhh!
Did I mention that we were are having beef for a few days!
2) The importance of putting the darn lid on the feed so that mice will not get in and contaminate the food. My eldest child learned the importance of this one with Carla's (the dog) food this morning. And now, she is learning the fun of washing and sanitizing Carla's food bin with soap and bleach! The screams coming from the garage when she found the mouse was the highlight so far today.
I have to say though, the mouse was kinda cute, so I let it continue to live... out in the field... far from the house.
The coon on the other hand, they will be meeting their maker shortly. Very, very shortly!
