Good fencing is 3/4th of the preparation!

Ground squirrels are destructive, but I have a hard time killing wild, native mammals unless I have to. Plus I'm "recycling" the cat litter, which gives it a whole new purpose lol!HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-87669180452811547322015-03-19T06:37:22.105-07:002015-03-19T06:37:22.105-07:00Wow!
