First Spring Weekend?
It was a strange weekend....this first weekend of Spring.
Saturday started out like this...
and snow flurries continued for most of the day.
This guy(?) was discovered in the henhouse on Saturday morning.
Apparently he had spent the night there and feasted on one of the chickens.
This is the first time I have ever had an opossum kill a chicken...usually they just raid the eggs.
He was a big ugly guy (for some reason the ugly animals are always guys to me)...
but we spared his life,
capturing him in a trash can...
and then transporting him miles away...
where he was set free...
far away from anyone's henhouses!
Sunday brought a bit of warmth....finally,
and I spent most of the day working on wedding signage.
I finished this signpost...
and this one...
and worked on a new Bee Haven Acres farm sign.
(photos later this week)
We hiked with the dogs through the woods...
searching for deer antlers that have been shed (found none).
We did, however, come across this tree that had been shredded...
presumably by bear claws.
This is the area of the woods where our friends had seen bear footprints in the snow.
It is also the same area where we had seen a bear several years ago.
Needless to say, 2 trail cams are now monitoring this part of the woods!
A visit to Ginger and MaryAnn in the warmth of the afternoon...
for a fresh drink...
and a little socialization...
Moll loves her piggies!
And MaryAnn never minds giving Moll a lift!
