Experimenting with Mozart...

 OK, I read in Mother Earth News somewhere

 that if you string old video tape around
your flower beds you could keep your

 chickens at bay...in theory,

the rattling and movement of the tape

is supposed to distract them...

 As you can see the lil' boogers have
 roto tilled my hostas and lilies,
 but the stringing

of the tape looks promising...

 I just want to give the plants a little
 more time to get bigger before
 excavation begins...right...

 and they call them bird brains...

as they dust away over at my compost pit,

I work on more strategies to allow them

free range and not lose all my flower beds,

later...

I'm off to Menards to check out fencing,

just sayin'...

ps...when I got home from work,

the neighbors lab had wandered through

and plowed it all down...

Monday I call animal control, two years

 of her running the neighborhood is enough!!!
