Barbara, I enjoyed your memories from the farm. I could identify with every one, excepting that we plugged all the rat holes but two, one on the inside and one outside. We ran a tube from the old truck’s exhaust pipe into the hole inside the chicken house and we stood outside to bop the rats. Our dog got too much exhaust fumes and keeled over.

Greetings to Joy. Barbara
