I had an agricultural tragedy this past weekend. I have a little Red
Haven Semi-dwarf peach tree that I've been nursing along for a few
years, and it just produced its first modest peach crop: 26 beautiful
and delicious little peaches.

I was getting ready to check them for ripeness on Saturday when I saw
that my 26 peaches had been reduced to 2. There were four or five fat
squirrels running around my yard with peaches in their mouths.

The damned horses in the back lot got all my grapes from the back
vine. Then I found some on the side vine and the damned birds got 99%
of those before me. I'm about to go nuclear here.


Count your blessings, at least you don't have deer troulbe

I have A LOT of venison recipies

I don't hunt (yet), but I love nice, gamy venison. Yum! Tried some
raindeer from a restaurant and it tasted like cheap hamburger. Just
horrible. Only _then_ did they tell me it was farm-raised, the
bastids. Never again! Purina Deer Chow my ASS!@
