Always learning something. Pretty pictures. Wonderful color. Yummy looking veggies. I haven't seen any deer yet this year but there was a skunk in my front yard two nights ago. They found him in the foundation of the Florida room across the street yesterday. I guess he fell in I couldn't get out. They picked him up and threw him out. He hasn't sprayed yet. That's a good thing.This N Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660035693962636210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-85042810352797614282014-07-30T10:10:47.391-04:002014-07-30T10:10:47.391-04:00It's so nice that you let your chickens live o...It's so nice that you let your chickens live out their retirement days on your farm and can thrive with other animals.<br /><br />Your veggies are looking great!

When I wean to another food, I start by mixing in just a small amount of the new food with the old food. Then very slowly over the next week or so, increase the ratio of new to old until they tolerate it. If you have tried that and Griffin is still not tolerating, you might want to try another type of food....lamb, etc..... I am so sorry about Max...it is so hard to lose a family member....and goldens are wonderful!! Best of luck with Griffin!Bee Haven Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003927601786061426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-21720788762214189782014-07-30T09:31:04.589-04:002014-07-30T09:31:04.589-04:00Do the deer every snack on your flowers or do they...Do the deer every snack on your flowers or do they stay in the hayfield?

I had a question. Recently we had to put our golden retriever Max to sleep and just now got a golden puppy named Griffin. Being all of your dogs look so healthy I would like to know what food they eat. Griffin is 12 weeks old and they have him on Purina puppy chow and I am trying to wean him to Wellness puppy food, but into second day he threw it all up. Any advice you can give me would be so appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-63019629280458779082014-07-30T07:38:59.464-04:002014-07-30T07:38:59.464-04:00Glad to read you give your hens a stress free reti...Glad to read you give your hens a stress free retirement!

One day we noticed a lot of bees that were returning to the hive had a pinkish hue to them. We quickly figured out they were freeloading off the local hummingbird feeders!<br /><br />(I always recommend to folks not to use food coloring in their hummingbird food if I get the chance!)
