Pay day

I needed to pay the rancher for my beef. After a few failed cell phone tries I got a hold of the guy and headed on down to his ranch to pay him for the beef and of course we shot the bull for a bit before I headed on home for a nap.

The beef is at the butcher’s and I should get it in a couple of weeks.

Hens

Later in the day, I went out to see how my hens were doing. They always hang around hoping to get something to eat. They have a whole yard to feed in so they aren’t starving.

Here’s some of the hens grazing in the yard.

Momma hen

Then I worked on trying to get some pictures of momma hen and her three little peeps which wasn’t easy as they have a lot of cover in their pen. I did get all four of the birds in this one, but they are hard to see. One white and two black little peeps.

Momma hen and the little white peep.

The little white peep tends to hang close to momma hen for protection.

Some quail went quietly by me in the yard.

Nice day.

I ran into Tom this morning and he said it’d be a good day to cut the big logs off our neighbor’s road, this afternoon. I  said ok, come by later in the day and we’ll go up there and take care of that.

Smoked salmon

In the mean time,  I took a sample piece of smoked salmon over to the neighbor who gave me the salmon, to let him try it out to see if he liked it.

He did and it disappeared fast. I’ll be doing some more smoking soon.

Forest work

Later Tom showed up and we rode in his rig up to where Skiddy was parked and cranked it up to warm up a bit.

We drove on down to where the road was that had a few big oak trees that had fallen across the road and blocked it. The road started here at this spring area.

Tom made some cuts in the big tree so I could push the logs off the road which I did with Skiddy’s help.

We had two  more trees like that one which we cleared off the road. That was all we wanted to do for now. I’ll be back later to smooth the road out to make it better to travel on, but not today.

Nice day.
