the fox


I aways like to see photos of the red fox, they remind me of my youth when there were many on the hill above our home and when daddy had fox hounds and would go hunting for the fox.
It is a pleasant morning a gentle breeze is blowing and the temperature is in the low 70's. The chicks are enjoying this good morning. last evening I noticed the evening was unusually quite and then I realized there were no yelping dogs at the neighbors house. The elimination of dogs may have started. Just now I looked out the window and they had their rottweiler on a chain, they keep her inside at night, she is about ready to drop pups so the silence will not last long. The cat population has diminished also.
I am so lazy I don't gather eggs every day and when I got the eggs this morning I had a dozen
in the house. the hens have laid a egg ever day since it was 2 days since I had gathered the eggs.

I think you will be ok with less cats that you help feed and less dogs to act mean.

Over in the Meadow we will have acres on each side of us and a lane to where the house is. Peace in the valley is the way I see it. There are stray cats roaming the Meadow. The sq. dogs will soon eliminate them.
