Adventures in Critters!

 Adventures in Critters!

 

Patty just called to tell me that the man we found on FB could not find the snake her dogs were barking at earlier. He did find a lizard, but those things don’t usually bother us. Anyway, now know how to get hold of him to come get a snake even if it does cost something. Patty said she does not mind in the least even paying a service call charge to know the snake is gone. He also told her that snakes don’t like sulfur, so tomorrow maybe a trip to Sutherlands to get another bag of the stuff. Roxie was the one that found this snake, so she gets a treat for barking at it today!

 

My dogs were out behind the workshop having fits of barking and chewing on the fence wire. Walking out there, the old woman could hear the squirrel cussing before even looking behind the shop. Couldn’t find a pokey stick to go between the slats, so guess who got out the bug spray and sprayed between each slat! That squirrel took off as if its tail was on fire. Happy dogs!

 

The hens are happier now than they were this morning. The couple from Henrietta came and painted the doors again on the shop, sealed the deck, painted the back screen door with water seal, sealed the bench on the front porch, and otherwise did a few things that needed to be done. Gave him the trailer that no one wanted, and he and his wife loaded that thing up. Now it would be great if he could find someone who would want these two big chain link gates. Oh well. Not letting the hens out until they got here ticked off the hens, plus the old woman forgot to open the east door. Therefore, four eggs were in the regular nests. Found a new nest in the long section of the coop, however. We will see if they do that again.

 

Tonight, the news from Israel is something that reminds me of the Holocaust because, when asked if he ever thought it would end, one Israeli said, “As Jews, we never ask that question. It never ends because we will have to endure until the end. We will always be fighting to survive. These other people do not believe we have the right to live. We will live! Israel will live!” In Zechariah 12:9 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” My prayer is that God will come quickly and do what He has promised to do. Let us as individuals remember that only God is concerned with Truth. He cannot lie. We can trust His Word.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
