MARY CLYDE...... TODAY IS MY BARFDAY TOO!! I mean "BIRTH" day. I hit the big SIX ZERO today..... I'll bet you get some eggs pretty soon......and I'll bet they will be scrump-dilly-is-she-us. What I wouldn't give for some home grown eggs. The swamp mice here are giant sized which is odd because the squirrels are scrawny. I put food out for all the critters.....there's a big ole raccoon that sits upright by the edge of the brush......and a possum that is bigger than my little Goobie dog.....swamp rabbits are plentiful too. I've even seen an armadillo but he stays well hidden. There's one little duck that comes by..... I think she was the runt of a bunch and the others kicked her out of the group. She comes around morning and evening all by her lonesome.....poor little thing. I always make sure there's bread and seed and water...... can't stand the thought of anything goin' hungry.... even the mice. ;paulette in sw fla usa.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! lalalalaalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaa xoxoxoxo On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 4:10 PM, MaryClyde <maryclyde@comporium.net> wrote: > Hey Stella, > I consider myself a Southern Gal and I've never heard of the expression > "Rat > Killing" either.
