FOTO FRIDAY: ROUND 'N ROUND THE MULBERRY BUSH

FOTO FRIDAY needed to happen quickly this week as the flies had just received the news of something new to upon which to feast. Blanca and Bebe, our barn cats have been very busy outside of the barn leaving their work for us to see that they are living up to their adopted category: Working Cats.

It's expected to see caught field mice (no longer scurrying) but Thursday's prize was not a bird / mole / chipmunk either. I haven't seen one of these since when the house was being built fifteen years ago. 

There lying in our front path is quite a prize. Take a look...

Any guess what this is? It's about a foot long sleet, silky fur. The title of this entry is another hint of this childhood rhyme, Round 'n round the mulberrry bush, the monkey chased the _ _ _ _ _ _ .

Yep, the last time we saw a 'weasel' was a white one caught in the chicken coop 15 years ago. This might be the reason another chicken was found dead last week...

No wonder these two were wiped. It's not every day hunting is so demanding.

Last week's FOTO FRIDAY was PEACE AND QUIET
