Operation “Raccoon Removal” has thus far been unsuccessful but the battle rages on. David borrowed a live trap which he set up on our back patio. I’m just not sure there will be room for a raccoon.
Houston, we have a problem.
I do believe we have a little problem here. Remember Rocky Raccoon? Well, I think we should have picked a more feminine name. And do you have any name suggestions for her two young’uns? More to the point, what do you do when these masked scallywags have watched the cats go in and out of…
A summer weekend
This past Saturday we picked up the children of a friend (we actually think of her as a relative) who were in town visiting their grandparents and took them to visit David’s fire station. Noah wants to be a firefighter and had been eagerly awaiting this little field trip. I think he’ll make a fine…
Is it just me?
For some reason I am unable to post a YouTube video or pictures from Picasa today. The html won’t convert and I’m left with a post full of code. I’ve tried it on both Chrome and Firefox so it doesn’t appear to be a browser issue. I’ve been blogging for years so unless I’ve totally…
Happy birthday, Lucille Ball!
Ever since I was a little girl I have adored Lucy. I Love Lucy originally ran from 1951 to 1957 so I grew up watching the re-runs. Over the years I have seen every episode multiple times and own the first two seasons on DVD. That show is an absolute classic which never grows old….
Strawberry Freezer Jam
This is what I did yesterday: A few months ago I bought a 5 pound bag of frozen organic strawberries and just finally got around to turning them into jam. I’ve made various sorts of jams and jellies but freezer jam is so quick and easy. I allowed the strawberries to partially thaw and then…
In my kitchen
Just wanted to share a couple of quick pictures today. Last week David was on a business trip and had time to kill. He went to Mall of America and “checked in” on Facebook. I commented and asked what he was buying for me. When he asked what I wanted I told him that was…
Wild Kingdom
Anyone remember this?: My family used to watch this and The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night. Good memories. We live in the country and it is sometimes like living in our own “wild kingdom”. First there are the raccoons that I posted about the other night. And yes, I mean “raccoonS”, as in…
Rocky Raccoon
Sad news here at Apple Tree Farm. A raccoon has been picking off our hens one or two at a time and all we have left now is a very lonely rooster. David went out one night with the intentions of getting rid of the raccoon but it scurried under the chicken coop before he…
