Success from last night! One kitten caught! Around 11:00. We got her transferred to the crate and I'd barely sat down when I heard the trap snap again.

I thought - wow - that's lucky! But this time it was a possum. Gak. After a short debate about what to do, we let it go. We do want to kill or move the possums, but not tonight. We've got other business!

Back to business, here's the new feral kitten! She's pretty wild and scared right now, but I've covered her crate so she has mostly privacy to settle in and hopefully she'll come around in the days to come. We'll work on it. Hopefully we'll catch her little orange brother too so she's not lonely. Momma and the other kitten slept in the barn last night but were not fooled. They may be onto the whole cage thing.

Well, didn’t want to waste this great weather so one old 4X4 fence post stump was removed. The task included shovel, slate bar and chainsaw.

IMHO, any task that includes a chainsaw and does not include a trip to the Emergency Room is a success. We had a successful completion of said task.

Those CCA treated posts are still sound after being in the ground 30 years. Good stuff.
