... but we did find a nest of kittens in the barn! We've seen Mamacat running about for the past several weeks, but did not realize until earlier this week that she had a stash of three babies in the hayloft! We've caught and crated two of them in preparation for turning them over to a shelter (long-haired cutie-pies, they'll be adopted in a heartbeat)... and once the last kitten is rounded up, we'll trap-neuter-return Mamacat so she can continue to hunt the mice, moles, and squirrels (of which we have found gruesome remains) in our yard.
I'm hoping to update with some garden and kitten photos tomorrow after I get home from work... it's been a crazy past two weeks and so much has changed and grown in the garden, I can't keep up!
PS- Coyote, our blue female runner duck, is still returning for a visit to grab a quick bite of food every day, but then immediately takes off up the hill across the road to return, we assume, to her nest. It's just about time for the eggs (that we're assuming really exist) to hatch... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some super cute squishy ducklings soon....
