Val got his own post. Here's what the rest of the critters got up to in 2017...
These girls lay blue eggs...
Chickens love pumpkin!
One day's egg harvest this summer.
Lost this girl to one of my neighbor's starving and neglected hunting dogs. She was torn wide open...
I caught the offender skulking around the farmette again the next day.
Another chicken killer. I caught and relocated five coons this summer...
This doe and her twin fawns were fixtures on the farmette...
Deer like pumpkin as much as the hens do!
This tree frog was the size of my fingernail.
Hiding in the corn plant.
I saved a dozen anoles from Val's water trough this summer...
I rescued this one from the Shimmy Shack.
Another save from the trough...
This rat snake was about to shed - embiggen to see her milky eye...
Super healthy Hatteras King snake - she was relocated to my property...
I found this shed snake skin IN THE SHIMMY SHACK!!!
Planted plenty of fennel this year, which attracted these colorful caterpillars...
which led to lots of Black Swallowtail butterflies! I watched them pupate and hatch out.
A Gulf Fritillary, which feeds on wild passionflower vines, and isn't supposed to be this far north...
❤️❤️❤️ The indoor crowd ❤️❤️❤️
