Late this morning!

68 degrees and very pleasant! Should see a high of 77 and sunny all day. Good day to mow, and the lawn needs it.

Boy, I was out on the back deck watching Bella (our young Boxer)...she got her hair up on her back over by the central air compressor. I looked over the rail and saw about 12" of black snake sunning itself on the wiring between the AC and the house. The rest of the snake's body was still in the hole the AC wiring went through. I guess we have a house guest. This is a young snake...I'll catch if I can and put it over in the shed (plenty of rodents there). With this being such a nice day, I expect the snake will be sunning itself on the porch deck or the top of the AC soon enough.

Hope you can catch the critter, nice that you want to use it for pest control. What you said about it going into a hole made me laugh as it reminded me of the time last month one of my cats was following a 2 foot long garter snake along the foundation wall, the snake disappeared into it's burrow in the ground and the cat was two feet behind, when the snake was gone the cat started dashing around like 'I KNOW that critter is around here SOMEPLACE" and I was laughing so hard...:laughing:

If it wasn't for my wife freaking out, I'd just leave it be. Living in a wooded area, we have plenty of squirrels and other rodents. Those are pest to me, but lunch for a black snake.

Light frost again this morning but should warm up to 24C or 75F, 1st time this year it has hit 70F. :thumbsup:

Just to show you our great weather, here are some pictures, headed by one of a cat that keeps coming to our back door...

My dad was stationed in Scotland, back in the 50's. He said the wind blew and it rained almost every day he was there.

Here's Bella...
She's a sweetie...not quite 2 years old.
For the most part, she's pretty well behaved. She does get cranky when she thinks we all should go to bed (normally 2000-2030).
She's also very insistent when she wants us to play with her and her toys.

Cats can be hilarious sometimes! :laughing:

Yep, that's Scotland!

Our boxers go to bed when it gets dark. They leave us up watching tv or whatever, and go to their beds, in the bedroom. In the morning, we usually wake them up, then go take care of the chickens and goats. Bubba has very laid back personality. Syndney is much more agressive. That was true of our previous boxer girl, Sarah. Bubba is real nice to the cats, they even sleep on him. Syndney bosses them round, puts them in their "place". I guess Syndney is a real Biotch!

Yeah, I told 300U guy we need to get cracking so we could catch up the the Chronicles in total posts. Maybe the Scottish kid is actually doing us some good.

It just came down in TORRENTS...I measured an inch of rain so far this morning.

It has been a week since it rained like that here, really slowed down the lawn work . Since the lawn work is behind so is the fishing

What I don't understand though Bill, is that you're posting in that Chronicles thread yourself, so you're helping it stay ahead... I'm befuddled
