Farm Life:
Mid Day Wednesday I picked up 2 year old Gregori from Playschool and drove to the farm - to be with Dane for lunch. Unbeknownst to me, Dane was driving from the farm to the house - to be with us for lunch. When I got to the farm and couldn't find Dane, I called his Mother. "Have you seen Dane?" "No I haven't. Isn't he there on the farm?" "No, I don't see him here." "Do you have Gregori with you?" "Yes, I do. He is sleeping in the truck." "OK. Bye."
Figuring Dane went on some farm-related mission and knowing Gregori won't wake up for at least an hour, I take 15 minutes to read the directions for a havaheart small animal trap that I picked up off of . We have rabbits that are eating our strawberry patch and I just seeded rows and rows of beans before the rain last week. Rabbits love to eat bean shoots into little sticks. The sneaky things wait until there is one set of beautiful leaves on the plants and then come out at night and eat them down to nothing. Whole rows at a shot! I used to be all warm hearted about fuzzy rabbits - Thumper and Watership Down. Now I find myself thinking of ways to expedite their demise in an ecofriendly manner. Trap them and give them to people who like to eat rabbits. Or give them to people who own snakes that like to eat rabbits. If there are buzzards flying over road kill - I think they might like rabbits.
My father in law drives up and sees me carrying the now set trap. "Where's Gregori?" "In the car sleeping." "What are you going to do with that?" "Catch rabbits." He scoffs at me good naturedly. "You're not going to catch any rabbits with that thing. You need a gum." I have no idea what a gum is. I was kinda proud I figured out how to open the door on the trap I was carrying. I shrug my shoulders like I don't care, but I do. There was a second trap on craigslist and I was going to have a small city of traps to catch the multitude of rabbits eating and carrying on around the farm. I was going to reduce their population significantly and thereby shrink the number of snakes on our farm. Less food = less snakes. This was my plan and it was a good one. Rabbit gum? My father in law breaks my thoughts. "Let me take Gregori so you can stop avoiding work and tend to the tomato plants." Avoiding work?! I'm saving rows and rows of beans!!
I put the trap out and nothing has triggered it yet. I check it everyday. Dane says it might be deer eating the strawberries. Bambi. Lovely.
