At Home In The Woods

[Obed]

Wow. The most entertaining part of this thread happened recently while I wasn't on it. Well, like it or not, I'm back. So there will be more mundane posts for you guys to read. Why anybody would read them, I haven't quite figured out.

Thanks for the concerns (and the staulking). I've just been extremely busy. I'm swamped at work and tired when I get home ... too tired to cook METH or do some of the other suggestions made here.

It was impossible to mow that tight corner at the porch and the retaining wall with the lawn mower. So we added some leaf mulch behind the back porch. My objective is to not have to get off my backside when I mow.

I knocked down wasp nests and mud-dobber nests. The pesky mud-dobbers keep coming back. I'll knock down a nest and they build it back the very next day as large as the one I just knocked down.



I also found the beginnings of a hornet's nest in the walk-in attic. It was left over from last summer. Fortunately, the hornet didn't finish the nest or I would have had a mess to deal with.

We put up the Scarecrow deer detractors at the garden again this year. They have done the trick. It is great not having to fence the garden. Here in the woods we see lots of deer close to the house.

Well as a fellow Tennessean glad your back. I am also glad to see that my air plane banner paid off.

So strange, he returned. Posted a respond to a few questions from after the last time he posted and nothing else. Like he got distracted and did not read the 10 pages or so after where he was reading?

No post telling us he is OK just busy, or on a biz trip etc?? Or anything that he has been up too??

He must be really busy and just got sidetracked after the 5 or 10 mins it took to read those posts and post a reply?

I bet you are going to sleep good tonight Clem....knowing Obed is safe and sound...first good nights sleep for you in a long time....
