Ten chickens made it through the night, one chicken-stalking [male] raccoon was trapped and shot, and the lawn is mowed.
6pm
Today, post raccoon-killing and lawn-mowing:
Cousin came by to take eggs, down to a dozen and relieved
Drove to Blanco for the Lavender Festival. Cute town! Not as much lavender in evidence as suggested by the name
Ate BBQ brisket and jalapeño sausage sandwich and nearly died of food swoon
Had deer bound across highway in front of me and nearly died of adrenaline dump [exaggeration]
Stopped at scenic river dam, put feet in, resolved to travel with swimsuit going forward
Hosed off and reset trap, crossed fingers that it was only the one raccoon, wondered if I should look up TX gun law and see if it's okay for me to carry Jeffrey's gun in the truck in case I hit but don't kill something and have to hasten its passing (BF jokes: "Can't you just run over it again?")
This area is technicolor beautiful.
