Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

76F with a light rain shower @ 12:30, calling for a high of 77F and rain most of the day.

Woman was very industrious yesterday on weeding and debris clean up before I got out there:

All in all, decent progress on that front.

Hauled 2 bucketloads up and added them to the compost pile.

Brought down 2 bucketloads of screened compost, unloaded the 1st one by hand with a shovel (not enough room to turn and dump) on the bed under the maple tree.

Dumped the other one on the area at the south end of the northeast planting bed that She had cleaned out and got it spread. Looking like it could use another bucketload:

Got area over the leach bed and the rest of the east side mowed.

No feeders refilled and no work done in the garden ...

Agenda for the rest of the day:

Help Woman clean out refrigerator and freezer.

Maybe sneak out between the raindrops later and get those feeders refilled.

Catch up on paperwork.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday ...

Good morning! Low of 57°, heading to a high of just 73°. I'll take it! No rain yesterday, so I guess we were in the 60% not going to get it......

heavy cloud cover so far this morning, but no drops so far.... maybe this afternoon.

There have been 3 hummingbirds here all summer. This morning, it multiplied to 8.... all fighting of course. Except for a brief moment, when all 8 were calmly perched at each flower on the feeders. Didn't last long.... maybe 30 seconds.... then back to determining aerial superiority.

Need to get a few propane tanks filled today, not much else planned.

Drew, that picnic table looks nice. Should hold up to the weather for sure!

Paul, sorry to hear about the lightning damage. Hopefully it is limited to what you found already.

Sorry you guys in Texas and the SE are dealing with the heat and humidity. Hopefully will break the pattern soon!

Anybody heard from Bird? It's been quite a while.....
And Jay.....

Hope everyone has a great start to the week!

Or rent a small electric jack hammer.

There’s always Tannerite…

I’d take an impact hammer drill with chisel bit.

I much prefer my 18v Ryobi over a hammer.

Walked the trail in town again. One app shows 1.6 miles in 26 minutes, other app shows 2.6 miles in 45 minutes which is the time we walked.
We walked the loop twice. Afterwards as we were cooling off, a guy asked us how we liked the trail. He is the guy that got the trail created, and it’s named for him. Said he was on city council over 20 yrs. Nice guy.

Cool you got to meet him! Glad you did the hike.

Anyone use a bug zapper? If so, have you ever seen it kill: 1. Moths, 2. European Hornets? Any recommendations or warnings?

I'm graduating from spraying those hornets to possibly using a zapper. Never have tried one. The hornets are active at night, and I "read on the internet" that powerful bug zappers will do a number on them. The foaming spray just makes European hornets horny and ornery and they've doubled in numbers.

But we don't want to kill moths or other (for us) desirables.

Thanks.
