I'm going to head out for a few days of quiet.... (yes, the farm can be noisey :) ).
It's that time of the year when the spring born coyote pups are learning how to hunt, and they think my hens are easy prey.
The skunks seem to have plans to winter-over in my outbuildings. The dogs are leary of them and the skunks don't seem to scare off very easily.
With the pastures bare from the drought, cattle (not mine) have been showing up in my yard for a bite to eat at night. I don't blame them.
Ranchers have permission to bale the grass in road side ditches now. It's hard to find a ditch that hasn't already been mowed by the county or that has any grass to begin with.
I think I have taken care of the skunk problem...
I'll keep the hens penned while I'm gone. (Neighbors will be feeding animals for me)
and if the cattle show up to eat grass in my yard.. I won't have to mow. :)
Not really sure where I'm going yet, there is still a burn ban going on here so no outdoor campfires.
Just being out there with a loaf of bread and a package of bologna sounds good to me right now. :)
Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Safe trip to you, Cowgirl!
Maine is nice this time of year. :) Weather is cool and comfortable, bugs are gone and cows eating our lawns is rare!
Have a nice weekend.... love to see your pics when you get back..
Hay Jeanie! Camping sounds like a good idea for destressing. The first place that popped into mind was the little outdoor chapel that you found.Seemed like a good place to reflect on whats been going on in your life.Believe me when I say God will be there!I will be praying for you! Hope you have a great weekend your friend Mark!:)
Jeanie, have a good time camping, you probably need it after your recent family loss. Getting away helps to heal. Take care & will be looking for your return. Sincerly Don
Thanks Linda! Hope you have a great weekend. :)
RO I bet your area is beautiful. Nice and cool...no bugs. If I had more than a few days it would be tempting to drive that far! :)
Hope you have a great weekend too!
Thank you Marc! I'm actually glad you said that... I forgot about my camera. I'll pack it now. :)
Hope you have a great weekend Marc!
Mark that little chapel in the woods was pretty special. It would be nice to go back there. :)
Thanks so much Mark, I appreciate your friendship!
Thank you Don, I hope you have a good weekend too. I'll be leaving in the morning and should be back in a few days.
I think it will be nice to relax and catch my breath.
I thought about that chapel too, it will help heal the soul.
Enjoy the time away....
Jeanie, relax and enjoy the time to yourself! You have been on a roller coaster this last month and it’s well deserved!
Don't forget the weed burner to heat the bologna :) Have a good time. Another Chris
Camp fire ban? Does that mean no "fancy cooker" or camp stove either? If so, that's a bummer... You usually come home with the most yummy looking camping cookout pics. :( I guess we'll just have to make due with pictures of the moon or something right... lol Hope you're having a good time anyways Jeanie.
Dave~
I just discovered your blog and now you're leaving? LOL! Just kidding, take the time and enjoy.
In the meantime, I'll say that I am in LOVE with your blog. You do all the things I hope we can on our farm, someday anyway. Right now it's a work in progress (at least that's what I keep telling myself when I blog about it, ha). I'm seeing all sorts of great inspiration here, I love it.
Oh and bologna and white bread? Sounds delish to me!
Hi Jeanie:
I hope your time away has been relaxing for you, and I pray that it has helped with the recent passing of your family member. Will be lifting you up in prayer and God's guidance.
Blessings,
Jon
Hey Rick, hope your surgery went well. Haven't talked to you for awhile.
I didn't go to the lake with the chapel. Hope to sometime though.
Thanks Rick, good to see ya.
Hey Chris C, Thanks! Hope you get your blog going, looks like it will be interesting.
Haha.. Another Chris, I did have a weedburner. When I got to the lake I found out that the burn ban was lifted so I roasted my bologna over a fire. :)
I did bring other things to cook too... but the bologna meal was kind of special to me. :)
Thanks!
lol Dave, I did admire the moon a lot this weekend. :)
I took my tabletop charcoal cooker but used a tractor rim that belonged to friends. Had the weedburner on standby too. :)
Thanks Dave...
1st Man, Thank you! It's nice to meet you. :)
Hope to check your blog out when I get a chance.
Thanks for stopping by!
Jon thank you so much, I appreciate it.
I did spend a little time "thinkin'" about things...
I know all will be better with time. I need to keep that in mind.
Thanks friend. :)
