Webought another set of gopher traps from our local feed store after the gophers ate my first set. Michael obtained a bunch of ground staples for fencing out predators from the fowl pasture, and I adopted a couple to discourage my new traps from walking off. This worked!

Gophers have incredibly soft, lovely fur…despite being destructive rodents. My township still provides a bounty for them. I wonder if I will ever recoup the cost of my traps? I’m a sense, I hope not! At least, not as long as my garden remains unmolested. Another peaceful day in the country. V
