You're gonna laugh at me but I was quite envious of the lake view in this picture until I zoomed it and saw it is a building. Maybe I should wear my glasses
I think everybody wants to eat the snake.
Discovered a huge patch of poison ivy in the back yard by one of the utility boxes. I couldn't whippersnip in there because I didn't want to spread poison ivy everywhere, or spray it on myself, so I'll have to go pull it out by hand before Friday. (We're having a party on Saturday.)
The only way anyone would know I won the lottery is if one day a crew shows up and hardscapes most of my property. How about a half-acre zen rock garden?
On the plus side I discovered a couple mulberry bushes. One is small, more like a sapling, but the other is probably 10 feet tall or more and I can see it will be yielding fruit this year. Looking forward to that! So now this means I've got maple syrup, cherries, peaches, and mulberries. Not bad for 42˚N and zone 3.
PS. And of course I did all this in flip flops because I do everything in flip flops.
Spicoli, he was wearing a t-shirt and spandex biker shorts. I told him I didn't want him climbing under the house unless he had coveralls and a mask (to keep dirt out of his mouth & nose bc the dirt kicks up terribly under there & you breathe it in).
I'm still trying to figure out if we should just wait and see if my friend feels comfortable climbing back under there or see how much of it I can do myself. Problem is, I'm too fat to squeeze through a lot of the places I'd need to go. At least I have more time to clean before he comes out again though. I'm hoping to get to the point that we can open the back door. Bro piled more stuff up there.
Went grocery shopping and found more stuff was in that wasn't in last time. Was too tired to clean when I got home. Just finished watching Father Brown, Death In Paradise, and Midsomer Murders on PBS.
A young raccoon passed through dumping pots. It dumped my only pineapple tomato plant. I found it in the mess and repotted it. I think I'll try to trap the coon tonight.
