Clouds, weeds and chicken coop

1. I wanted to post Before and After style pictures showing results of sheep weed fighting effort. It doesn't look as clear on camera but here they are anyway:






Can't really see on the second picture but these are just skeletons on the weeds, all the leaves are gone, so my mower had no problem chopping it all in mulch.

Neighbor's calves came to check out the weird micro-cows chomping on weeds: "Mooooost unusual!"

2) The mobile chicken coop building is coming along although about a 100 times slower than I hoped. Still, barring any major emergencies should be finished this week and I already have 5 dual purpose pullets reserved with someone we know. The idea is that the chickens (and the coop) will follow the sheep as they move from pasture to pasture, doing parasites patrol. Sheep, in turn, will cut the grass short, so it's easy for the chickens to find bugs and whatnot, so the chickens can pretty much forage for themselves. We'll see how it works in real life.


3) Some rather dramatic clouds over our pond. The clouds (and the sky generally) was one of the things that made us fell in love with FL in the first place. And of course, it was all gone in 10 minutes and the sky were bright blue again.

























4) The sheep started on DHP Aug 19.
