Annie and I took a ride out to Doug’s this afternoon to check out the crop and let Annie run a little. I haven’t taken her out there ’cause Lucy (Doug’s beagle) had the same procedure Annie did and when Lucy and to stay quiet. When those two get together, it’s like old home week at the Howling family’s house. She sat in the truck real nice until I turned left onto his road and Annie was all over me. She didn’t howl like she has in the past, but she’s grown up some in the last couple of weeks and I for one, appreciate it. I try and run a very quiet and orderly life, but when Annie gets near Lucy, life changes.
After the two of them rubbed noses, and smelled each others’ butts, we headed across the street. Lucy couldn’t go yet ’cause her stitch’s aren’t out but Annie was more than happy to cover her watch. The Chickory is rebounding very nicely and the Rape/Kale is doing even better. The new vegitation is originating from the basil and it’s still too low for the deer to eat, so we may come out on top of this. Doug’s going to overseed the areas that didn’t recover with Rape so it’ll be mixed in with the Chickory too.
Today, the doe permits for private land hunting went on sale and we both bought one. There’s only 2000 alloted this year, so I suspect there won’t be any for sale tomorrow, but I’m sure going to try.
