That's a young one, used to have 4-5 outside on our crab apple trees this time of year when we had the house in western Mass.
Fun watching them try to climb up to shake the branches.

Happy First Day of Autumn !

53F, moist, breezy, and cloudy @ 12:00 with wind gusts up to 24 mph. Sun was trying to peek through earlier ... for about a minute. Only calling for a high of 55F so this is probably as good it as it gets.

Only 0.06" of precipitation since midnight, 1.30" for the previous 24-hour period. A good watering.

With the winds and no sun I think I might well forego doing any coring today, unless something changes.

Might be just as well, as I still have inside work to catch up on.

The plan to finish up in the fish room last night went by the wayside when I noticed two S. fryeri females were holding eggs in their mouths. That necessitated a full clean out of the tank I have the egg tumbler in, which took a while.

After I got that done I netted all three females to check them just to be sure. Yup - two of them holding, got probably around 40 - 50 eggs total between the two of them and put those in the tumbler. Also stuck the smallest male and female in that tank as they were looking pretty beat up, give them a chance to recover.

So probably see if I can't get things finished up in the fish room today, draw water for partial water changes.

Also try and finish up paperwork organizing/filing.

Do some cleaning in the kitchen and laundry as well.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ...

Back in caretaker unit. Building and wall:/sliding door for privacy between living room and bedroom areas. 2 doors will be stationary like a wall and 2 will slide. Think I have it worked out. Now to execute.

H&F this afternoon. I’m sure the gals will be gunning for us.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

BOOM BOOM BOOM
sounds like I'm next to the quarry
Mother Nature beating her drum
heavy rain coming straight down

 

[buckeyefarmer]

We ended up with 4” of rain. Lots of local creek flooding, like one below my house. Lots of roads closed.

 

[toppop52]

No thunder so far as .6” of rain.

 

[daugen]

that's what I'm worried about here Buckeye.
Only 1.41 inches so far here and the back yard is already starting to fill up.
Those butterfly bushes are doomed.
I need to plant some willow trees there instead.

Anyone else have problems with pets that don't like being messed with ?

Yep...these 2 are like buzz saws if stranger tries to touch them.

What size bear is that Thomas guessing one year old 130 pounds

Looks like female rounded face,could be it's first year on it's own from mom...or maybe mom near by,but one think for sure feels safe enough to visit that close...don't leave any bags etc. in your new pickup.

I believe it was Don said to "hang on to your wallet" about the leaf blower he wasn't kidding,$685.oo when all said and done think I'll tell the Mrs. when she sleeping.

No plans this evening other than old movie early to bed.

Enjoy your evening all.
