    @SKT That was closer to sunset last night. It's pitch black when I leave for work in the morning these days.

      nice @jordanscollected ! We were good for about a month i guess with them all living together with no issues. 3 female ducks, 12 hens, 1 rooster. We're def thinking the rooster killed the female duck i spoke of yesterday. He's been picking on another one of them today and we're about to quarantine him. It seems the ducks are getting ready to lay, and i think their hormones/pheromones have changed and the rooster has been aggressive and mounting and such. Since our hens are younger and behind them developmentally, he isn't into them yet, so he's taking it out on the ducks it seems. thats the current theory.

        Popped out for a quick ride this morning while the pork got started on the Traeger. We’re hosting a small Halloween get together tonight with a movie around the fire.

          The first Halloween work party was this weekend. Smoked pork was the center of the burrito bar. Homemade pumpkin cookies and brownies for desserts we watched a movie outside around the fire (practical magic, I don’t get tired of Sandra Bullock).

            Allie wanted to spruce up the barn a bit. I said we didn’t need to it was fine. So we went ahead and spruced up the barn.

            We picked up an armoire on marketplace for free and gave it a paint job. A couple plants and an outdoor rug and that’s that.

              I will take this wisdom and apply it to my own domicile.

                Mmmm….going by the pics you shared with us…I’d say Allie was right all along.

                The journey is the objective.

                              @jordanscollected That photos really seem to capture the beauty of that place. I'm no expert on photography, but the first is a great composition. I absolutely love the symmetry in that photo.

                                We added 2 new furry family members to the farm this week, both girls. Hecate (black) and Artemis (grey/orange). We haven’t had any signs of mice in the barn yet but with the weather getting colder it’s bound to happen.

                                Hecate is super playful and comes around when we are in the barn, but Artemis took off the moment she was put down and we hadn’t see her in 3 days. She is currently hiding in the pallets under the hay but she is getting food and water so the wait is on for her to get comfortable with us. She was found in a dumpster behind a gas station so it doesn’t surprise us that trust will need to be earned.

                                Also, I’m lucky the IHV-24 is Cordura because those claws are serious

                                  Well done @jordanscollected ! Be patient with Artemis, she’ll turn out to be your primary mice-controller.

                                  The journey is the objective.

                                    @motojobobo That's a great thought. She may be the protector of the barn while Hecate is just a playful cat.

                                      @jordanscollected and you’ve probably already planned for this but I would recommend they both get spayed or you will unintentionally have a cat farm before you know it

                                        A spell of cold weather and shorter days have made farm life pretty mundane the last few weeks. Today we got a warmer day and put out hay. Everyone got in on the action.

                                          In other farm news, Artemis has come out from hiding but it still very skittish. Neither of us have touched her yet, but she at least shows herself more often.
