Had a large flock of geese heading north this evening. Two days of temps in the high 70's does not make spring. Wished them luck and hoped it was not a sign of a long hot dry growing season.

This is good news -- but I think if their heading up here their going to freeze their rear ends off- still lots of snow and no sign of spring ----but mabey they know something I dont

It was up around 80 degrees here yesterday. My husband heard frogs last night. Snakes might have heard them too.

I'm just know I'm not ready to start having to kill rat snakes that are eating my chicken eggs.

I gave this hint somewhere around here ~~~ Poke a hole in both ends of an egg(carefully) Blow out contents.. Plug one hole-Fill the egg with salt,Plug other end..Candle wax works well. Mark the egg with Sharpie-nailpolish-whatever- Place in hen nest for nest egg..When a snake eats it,the snake is dead.If a snake is eating rats and mice,it won't be harmed..
Yes,this workes,killed lots of egg-eating snakes when I had chickens..Now if I could get rid of the fireants~~~

Peg, if you come up with a potion that will comepletely eradicate fire ants, I will help you make it and market it. Then we can be filthy, freakin' rich and can leave it all behind.

Haven't seen a robin yet. I think the snakes never went anywhere around here.

We were in the corral this morning putting CIDRs in a few of the cows and heard a small group of geese overhead. Dad, the AI Tech and I stopped what we were doing and watched the geese fly north. It's the first ones we have seen this year. The geese along with the 70+ degree weather confirmed that spring is just around the year.

 

[Susie David]

The Canadas are still hanging around and we have snow today so it will be awhile before the first pair of Daisy Dukes show up around here. Dmc

 

[Beefy]

geese fly north?

Peg and Alice here is a sure fire way to get rid of fire ants. You take some chewing tobacco and sprinkle on the mound. The workers will carry it into the mound to the queen. Watch and when she comes out to spit you step on her. The workers will eventual die without a queen.

We have spring early this year the Daffodils and Tulips are out, but we have Canada Geese all year round, sometimes wish they would fly North, they can be a pest.

Ryder you need to get over this fear of Snakes. ;-)

It is not fear.
I loathe them.
Britney was a nice yung country girl from Louisiana. Very talented and pretty. Made it big in the enterteinment world.
Then she had her picture made with one of those detestable creatures wrapped around her neck. Things went down from there.
Now she has shaved her head.
I warn you-do not consort with snakes.
