Damn, you were worrying some of us! ?

as my grandmother use to be found of saying (at least until she died) "can't kill a bad thing............"

John thought he was calling my cell - he was calling my landline which was down - hence going straight to vmail

I got it... My grandmother would always say... never worry about people talking about you...It’s when they stop talking about you is when to worry...?

just got back in from killing moles.......................

I looked out in the backyard checking on Max. I saw him at the base of this tree digging up the Irises.

When I went over to stop him I saw what he was after. There was a nest just under the Iris of moles. Got him inside & took care of the moles with a pitch fork.

Lovely way to start the day.................



The Iris bed?

[pequa1]

if I left them out - Max would eat them which was his intention when he began digging for them. He's done this before. The results were anything but good.

 

[wader]

OK done for the day - havin' a beer then shower & get the chicken on the grill

Felt good to be working in the yard.

Nice day.
No mask to wear.
No hand sanitizer.
No disinfectant wipes.
No COVID-19 news.

Going to pick up take-out from our favorite local Italian restaurant. Earlier I replaced the handle on a hand sledge I broke last year and never could find a replacement handle so I filed and wore the original down, losing two or three inches. Read some of the newest Kyle Mills / Vince Flynn (RIP) novel on my wife's Kindle. Never used it before, I like actual books but the libraries are all closed. A little more weeding and gardening and then a new ship model kit arrived in just four days from Kansas City and just masked and painted the bottom hull. HMS Warspite. should keep me busy for at least a month of rainy days. Laser cut molds, tiny parts on brass sheets, nothing like models from the 1960s ! Never turned on the TV.

 

[wader]

just pulled a tick off of me - yeah they're starting - gotta call my guy the exterminator (those two words sound very sinister together) '& get the yard sprayed

 

[wader]

brought in a little wood for the fire tonight - finished my beer (1st one for the day) - headed to the shower
