Black snake

Hello everyone, 

Found him outside yesterday evening, it was SO hot out that day. 

Do not know if this was poison or not, not going to find out, so many black snakes out there. It looks like one I saw online, and they say he is not. But I do not know for sure. 

This one was at the bird bath, drinking from a rock my dad made out of sandstone. He was just getting a drink of water and he had a fat belly, sure hope he got the pesky chipmunk that has been digging up everything I plant out back.

Another Turtle

Turtles, Turtles, Turtles

On the 25 of May, I found another turtle in our driveway headed up the hill. We stopped and I placed him up the hill out of danger and so he went on up the rest of the hill. That was a surprise as I just never thought I would see another one around here. He was lucky not to have been hit crossing the road. So I did my good deed for the day and saved a second turtle. 

Here is his picture. 

This is not the same turtle that we found last year in the month May 2021, he is different in his coloring and a little larger. 

Happy Trails little friend.

Love and Prayers, 

Margo

DOVE egg

On my birthday I found a dove egg laying on the ground next to the rock my dad carved out to make a birdbath. Was nothing I could see wrong with it, I put it back but don't think she will come back, probably was her 1st egg. 

If this was the little dove I saw earlier this year, I am thinking it is the baby of the two adults I have seen around here this spring. Earlier I noticed a bunch of feathers next to the chicken fence where I have seen the two doves sunning themselves. So I am thinking that the "mama" dove got eaten by a hawk, daddy, and the baby dove escaped.  So will keep watching to see what happens with them. I heard them calling to each other the other day, and they are sticking together. 

Love and Prayers,

More CHICKENS

I have now recovered the chickens that I gave my friend down the road because she decided not to keep chickens now for a while as she is working and her new job leaves her no time. 

So now I have 12 chickens and 2 guineas for all the colored fresh eggs you could ever want. I now have a sign down at the mailbox that states we have eggs and the neighbor down the street took 10 dozen and 6 (1 1/2) dozen cartons of eggs to her church today, she will help me sell them and get people started to know where they can come to get eggs. She also is texting all she knows to let them know where we are located. 

I hope we get a lot of people because, at this rate, we get 12 eggs a day if all are laying. I think the guineas are male, no eggs from them as of yet as far as I know. 

Love and Prayers,
