Who do you call when you need to open the barn first thing in the morning? You call sasquatch! No longer having a child at home has allowed certain clothing restrictions to loosen when it comes to errands first thing in the morning. I can positively state that is not freezing outside yet.
Annmarie grabbed my cell phone and rushed upstairs to our bedroom to catch this elusive creature on a digital image. May many more assists happen in the future.
I am still trying to catch the chicken killer. Yesterday, I placed an egg in the trap and thought it had gotten eaten but no it had just been moved. Tonight I baited the trap with some squirrel food. I know it is a raccoon. I found footprints down by the front ditch in the soft dirt this morning. Now that it knows there is chicken inside that wooden structure it will come back every night looking for a way inside. I found a couple of rocks that had been rolled out of the way so a tunnel was open underneath the chicken coop. The raccoons did this a couple of years ago also. The war has begun and I am to finish it.
