The chickens keep their population way down in the area near the hen house, but they don't seem all that interested in moving over to where the fruit trees are. Maybe I should build a new hen house in the orchard.Barb-Central Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000185202490150402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933752844872478652.post-87614598220714653662010-07-10T20:12:50.633-07:002010-07-10T20:12:50.633-07:00Blankety-blank.

I've seen a lot of them in our part of the Hill Country and had a some damage but nothing like you're talking about. You need a swarm of birds to keep grasshopper balance.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933752844872478652.post-72489583198126935662010-07-10T18:53:47.350-07:002010-07-10T18:53:47.350-07:00My husband also suffers from terrible neck pain an...My husband also suffers from terrible neck pain and headaches from riding in a car for more than 15 minutes or so. If we had train service between Luling and San Antonio, I think he'd probably visit the Berry Farm from time to time.Barb-Central Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000185202490150402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933752844872478652.post-73382513677450840792010-07-10T18:10:26.660-07:002010-07-10T18:10:26.660-07:00Dina!

He just doesn't want to BE here, with the snakes and mozzies and grass burrs and other things that are not human-friendly. I agree with Tim about the cuteness of one creature and the creepiness of masses of them. I would have to include humans -- one, or even a few are lovely, but masses of them can become very ugly.Barb-Central Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000185202490150402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933752844872478652.post-6194299909654638302010-07-09T07:45:11.090-07:002010-07-09T07:45:11.090-07:00I love reading about your life on The Berry Farm!
...I love reading about your life on The Berry Farm!<br /><br />Your husband reminds me of my sisters. They won't visit my blog. He won't visit your farm.<br /><br />Although maybe he can read your blog ABOUT the farm. That would count for something ; )<br /><br />I hope your visit to the farm brings good news, and not images of grasshopper destruction. <br /><br />We had a cute one hitching a ride on Tim's car. As Tim often says though...one of any creature is cute. Masses of them are creepy. <br /><br />Anyway, I send well wishes to all your fruit.Dina Roberts https://www.blogger.com/profile/05558115658079175456noreply@blogger.com
