Sounds like you've been busy this year, Dougster! It's supposed to get down to 2 tonight...and I feel sorry for the homeless ones and those who have to get out in it and work...Our heat pump drones on, keeping it more or less an even temp in here, so if I don't force myself to go outside I don't notice it much. Am leaving it up to hubby to get the paper and mail..I don't want it bad enough to go after it! He has to keep piddling around anyway, and has an Eskimo type coat to wear... So you ended up with enough rocks to make a lot of work instead of insisting they put back what they dug out, huh? Amazing how one can dig a hole and somehow the dirt expands when you want to fill in the hole, and theres always leftovers.... Weasels or mink will just eat the head of a chicken they've killed...What you gotta do is get there faster and eat that chicken while it's still usable..lol .The possum MAY have killed the chicken...Hope it did, in this case...those buggers will eat just about anything...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sun, 5 Jan 2014 14:41:08 -0600 Doug Crim <ddcrim@gmail.com> writes: > I'd do something about it if I could...
