Yeah Manny, I plan to get them started at least before we have our little bit of winter. That way when spring comes around they will know what to do and be eager to start again. The cages are in the barn so they are fairly insulated from the weather, but the young ones will be put out into the tractor for growing out and I need grass for that.
I keep looking at the grass and thinking I could have easily made a second cut this year, thanks to all the rain we have had. But now I am back at school, time isn't on my side. Also I think I might have a mutiny on my hands if I mentioned making hay again.
Snakes, spiders and grasshoppers are something we live with here this time of year. We recently had a mouse running around the house so we put down traps for it. The darn thing would run right around them. I then tried some of those glue traps and I checked on one a week or so ago and there were three brown recluse on it. You never see them but they are there. The snakes are gorging at the moment in readiness for going underground, so the last thing we want in the house is a mouse. We got the mouse in the end.
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.
