Drew, for your squirrels, 2 letters. BB

Scotty, the grass isn't going anywhere, it will be there when you get a round tuit.

txdon, that is quite the mess. Now you gotta look out for the snakes, too.

We have a house being built on 4 acres across the neighbors driveway from us. Between dump trucks, dirt work, and builders, it's pushed the snakes across the driveway.

In one weekend I killed 3 water moccasins, and a copper head.

The copper head was a big ol' fat ornery cuss. He lost his head with the sharp end of a tamp bar.

Got two of the moccasins with the zero turn and the third with the 22 mag with rat shot while out walking the pooch.

I've since started mowing the grass short over onto the neighbors property since they own the road next door, as well as mowing their ditch.

When they asked me about it, I brought up all the snakes. Once I mentioned the snakes, they said carry on

They walk their two dogs down their road and the pooches spend quite a bit of time sniffing around said ditch.

They then asked if I could take a clump of small saplings further down the ditch out with the brush hog the next time I had it out, so the rest of the ditch could be mowed

Been working on cleaning up the utility room down in the basement so the renovations there can continue when the opportunity arises ... you know, like when it's raining and nothing can be done outside.

I did take the opportunity earlier when the rain quit to sneak back out for a bit and get a little more seat time, clearing over on the west side.

Made some decent progress ... until I could hear the thunder over the engine:

Got a huge downpour ... rain gauge now showing we've gotten 1/2" since yesterday which was sorely needed.

That chased me inside ... but the sun is back out now so probably head back out and see if I can't get a little more done before any more rain moves in.

I really do not like snakes 28 ga works wonders

96F humidity
Busy morning outside afternoon move just enough to keep the dust off me.
Once sun starts to go down heading for the deck with twin stick orange popsicle waiting for critters and stars,hope the mountain breeze all night long.

Enjoy your evening all.

 

[daugen]

better eat quick Thomas, that popsicle will be a real dripper in the heat...
and wherever you drip, the ants will come
but it sounds mighty good

stormed a little earlier, about .43 rain, might be more later.

Not a big snake fan myself, but will keep the black ones around. Every time I go into shed, I look up, because it is sometimes in the rafters. Good for mice control.

Dont know if I said before, but the odd acting groundhog is no more, and got buried.

Dr appt went well, got there almost half hour early, and they took me back early. Did more blood work to check my high sugar level.
Stopped for a couple pieces of wood at Lowes, then filled up 2 gas cans and truck on way home.
Very humid when I got home.

I ordered a Mr Cool Hyper Heat system. Filled their credit application and got instant approval, that saved me $200 on the order. Right or wrong, going to give it a shot, like I need another project.

started raining again, heavy all of a sudden. .1" so far.
.35", that escalated quickly.
.66"

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.1C and it's presently 14.8C, mostly sunny with a breeze. There was 3.5mm in the gauge @0900 and it rained a wee bit more after that. I guess that the 'rumours' were true.

A good run into town, yesterday.

That's about it, take care all.

Although we only have copper bellied water snakes and garders, I am not a huge fan of them. I have found that they don't care for short grass. Copper bellied and garder snakes are cousins. The water snake is the nastier cousin, but it has as many teeth as I do. None. Maybe tomorrow after I cut the grass I'll open up the dug well and fish out the ones that are in there.
We are expecting upwards of 3.14" of rain tomorrow, too.
