Good morning!!!!

I sent that bug picture to my brother in VA who thinks they are a couple of degrees cooler at their elevation and it will be next few days when cicadas
pop out.
The bad news is apparently copperhead snakes love them and will come out to eat them, climb trees and other places to get them. Be careful.
Copper heads will ease out onto the street in front of the house and lay under the over hang for the oak trees. Thankfully my dog will avoid them on our walks and will divert me away from them. I let her lead the way this time of year.

Neighbor spread a bunch of moth balls around their house and driveway. Figuring they must have encountered one already.

We've had a couple king snakes hanging out in our yard, so hopefully they will keep the copper heads away

65°F and .92 inches rain. Hoping for a drier day as I get back to my caretaker project. Even though my cut area is covered, things get wet if raining if even slightest breeze. Prefer not to install wet items. Only a small area left requiring the insulation board, but will use cut offs rather than a full sheet where possible.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Dump run and those chores are done...
Flail mower is rigged to the tractor, but the PTO drive shaft wouldn't extend, so yanked it off, hit it with some PB Blaster...it'll come apart tomorrow and I'll really grease it up. I've had this problem with this one PTO driveshaft, even if I grease it at the end of the mowing season...and, I don't leave driveshafts on implements left outside...but, this one has been a minor problem almost every year
Did the lawn...must have been a million dandelions...well past the yellow flowery stage.
Getting a tad warm now....84° according to Weather Underground.
Time for some chow and a beer, I'd say...

It seems if 1 dandelion mowed in couple days 2-3 will take it's place. :rolleyes:

They're coming..........

one million per acre
this should be fun
About 16 years ago the cicadas were real bad here. Had to shut windows to hear the TV and then they disappeared until this year. They were not too close to the house this time as I have cleared a lot of scrub however my wife still kept complaining about them. Luckily ?? I can't hear high pitched noises any more so I couldn't hear them. I am not going to put in my hearing aids just to listen to them.

Coldest night so far has been 52 degrees and coldest day 72 degrees. Today is another beautiful day expected to reach 74 deg with temps warming up the next few days. Shortest day coming up before long.
Best time of year for working outside. Just wish I was a bit healthier. (aka younger)
