The first snake of the season was caught yesterday.
My husband did the cultivating in our field and the good neighbors.
But because of the 49mph winds, he got something in his eye and it scratched up his lens and inner/upper eye lid. He was not feeling to well. The neighbor across the way is a nurse. So I called her and my husband went over there for her to look at it. She had some antibiotics and an eye patch. Did him up right, and he feels a lot better today.
Because of the winds it was hard to get too much done, so that short, but tiresome list I gave you yesterday was not fully completed. But I did promise pictures.
This is my real quickly banny box.
Here are the Colombians. (yes Columbine was a sleepy typo)

Good luck with the wicked tiller! Those bantams are really nice...I've never heard of Columbians. Nice banny box! I sure hope the idea of dropping the livestock ID catches on! I mean, come on people.
Those are some good looking bannies!
Your banny box shows a certain artistic flair and perhaps a bit of the non-conformist in you. ;)
