HOw To FIRST TRAIL CAM PICS

Happy first of August!

So here are our first Trailcam pics.  
Not what we expected, ha. 



First we captured this.  We're pretty sure it's a dog, but it's not 2nd Family's or any dog we've ever seen out there before.  Not sure why the video didn't go off on this, maybe it was over too quickly, need to read up on that.  


Um, then there was this.  

A cow.

What the heck?

Again, 2nd Family does not own cows, the neighbors behind us have cows but their herd is all black.  The only place it could have come from is either side but I checked the fence line and it seemed intact.  And this was on a Friday, there was no loose cow on Saturday/Sunday at the farm so we're not sure where it went, hopefully back where it came from. 
 2nd Family does leave the gate to the driveway open during the day and it's possible a cow wandered in (have seen a couple loose on the road in weeks past, called the Sheriff both times). But it was gone completely so we just notified the neighbors to check the fence line for loose segments.  They're going to let us know if they found anything.
 



Not sure if this video will play for everyone but hopefully it will. (update: looks like Blogger is having issues with video uploads, I'll work on that later). This appears to be an armadillo.  I wasn't 100% sure at first, it kind of looked like a little wild hog at one point but when the head turns it looks like an armadillo. That would be what was rooting around in the flowerbeds.   It seems to have stopped that for whatever reason...

All in all, it was fun looking at the pics.  Speaking of capturing "people", as a few of you mentioned, we did, ironically, capture "R" from 2nd Family on the mower as he made the rounds of their back pasture a few times. For privacy, I won't post that picture, but we had to laugh after that was mentioned then sure enough, it happened. 

Was hoping for some deer or something really cool, like a coyote or bobcat, but I suppose a random dog, cow and armadillo wasn't too bad for the first batch.

I repositioned them a bit and we'll see what we capture the next time.  

SMILE CRITTERS, YOU'RE ON CANDID TRAILCAM!

HOw To VINTAGE POSTER SUNDAY SAVE SCRAPS FEED HENS

Image
Save Kitchen Waste for Hens, vintage image courtesy of the UK Imperial Museum Sorry for delay in posting.  I thought I had this on automatic and then went to the farm and realized it didn't post when I got back. This one is another fun one.  I have posted a couple of similar posters with this same theme, but both of them related to saving scraps for pigs.  This one asks people to save scraps for hens (but mentions pigs in the caption).  It dates to WWII, the 1940's of course, and comes to us from the UK. The hens look excited don't they?  LOL. Residents could get a pail or bucket from the Council and just put food scraps and related waste in there and it would be picked up weekly.  Of course, it was for food waste only, as it says on the poster, keeping it dry and free of glass, metal, bones and paper. As you may have seen from yesterday's post, it's been record breaking heat here, so most of my activities have been limited to indoors...
