Well, it's snowing again, I'm not sure how much we are supposed to get but it doesn't matter much as we aren't going anywhere. It always looks so pretty when the snow is on the ground, cold but pretty.
The snow also allowed me to see what it was that Guinness was chasing today. Normally when he goes out, he'll sniff the air to see what is out there, then chase off and we rarely see what he is chasing - if anything. If it's deer we see the white tails or in the dark we may hear their hoofs. Today it was a fox he was chasing. I saw it clearly against the snow on the ground. We don't like foxes on the property as we have lost ducks to them, the same with coyotes. And as we have chickens we don't want to lose them to the foxes. The ducks were silly & wouldn't go in to their house at night despite valiant attempts on our part. we would get them to the door then they would fly off. We found that they couldn't fly far and worse still the couldn't see very well in the dark. So there they were, sitting ducks, now they are gone. The chickens on the other hand have a run they stay in and it has predator wire around the perimeter, but we are well aware that if a fox or other predator wanted at them they would manage to get in, thus we shut the chickens in their house at night. They have enough sense in their little heads to come in! So it is with appreciation that we watch Guinness chase the fox from the chicken proximity! Good old Guinness!
