Recent sightings

I love the signs of wildlife around here, and I love when I meet some of the locals in person.

Skunk with really wide white markings, freshly caught in the barn.



Local skunk removal service.



Moose print next to the pond, compared to my "women's size 9" muck boot.



A woodcock sitting in the road.



The turtle I moved to the pond, before she wandered off.

That's a good sized moose print!

By the way, you're right in your guess about our plans being rearranged. :)

Glad you're enjoying our hot dogs. We're about to make our fifth batch. They sell out almost immediately. Originally we started making hot dogs to figure out what to do with all the good shoulder and ham. Now those are all selling and so are the hot dogs so we have to dedicate pigs to the hot dog project. Perhaps that is what makes them so good, prime pastured pork...

Wow. I loved seeing all of your wildlife. Sure would love to see a moose for real, though.
Do you see them often near your house?
