chicken protection program

Our last surviving chicken entered Grandpa Jim's Chicken Protection Program. And James bought a pellet gun.  Hopefully the raccoons will take the hint that we'd like to keep our chickens.  Turns out there is a whole family feasting on them.  A mom and two of her hungry kids.  We're trying to tell them we'd like to keep our cherries, too.  But with all the rain, they'll probably all get moldy before they quite ripen anyway.

Grandpa Jim made a pretty funny post about Rose.  He has good perspective.
