Linda talked to owner of a local restaurant yesterday afternoon about the baby goldfish growing in the pond. We have known the owners, this is actually the third generation of ownership, for 50 years or so and are what they call regulars. Anyway, they have a large, about two maybe three-acre...

Up early today, even for me. The bedroom is not airconditioned because Linda does not like A/C where she sleeps. Me, on the other hand, has a problem sleeping in the heat and the next two days will be spent sleeping in the living room. Should have done so last night. Temp was 88 with heavy...

I am in general agreement with some exceptions. My property is my territory, and I am the apex predator within its boundaries. I am willing to share it with most wildlife and actually take measures to encourage them visiting. I do not mind predators sliding through so long as they do not come...

Being sick is inconvenient to say nothing of unpleasant. Get well be well

Ted’s, same here. If not for my projects requiring a lot of physical stuff I could have resumed activities the afternoon following the procedure.

Resuming normal for me activities today. My only limitation, other than age, will be the heat this week. Projected triple digits today and tomorrow then slowly dropping into high 80's through the weekend. Morning work only beginning right after breakfast.

I have done little the past five days due to recovery from eye procedure. Today I will resume my normal activity. Yesterday we bought or dug and planted the last of the plants for the bog. Arrowroot, (dug), lily and a couple more hyacinths. On the way home from the shopping we discovered a pile...

I will pass on a bobcat as squirrel solution. I bobcat’s life expectancy in my yard would equal the length of time a bullet took to reach him.

Squirrels are the bane of bird gardens. Linda serially rants about them skimming from the feeders. We have tried many solutions but limited success. I have offered a solution that will work without fail but Linda says no squirrelcide allowed. What is tanglefoot ?

I am very bad at instructions that limit my activity. I will however let Linda wait on me till Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday it is supposed to approach 100F so that will be limiting at least by late morning. Linda did water changes today. My brother came over and under my supervision put the...

The upgrade is supposed to improve night vision and reduce glare. I initially passed because I do little night driving often taking a Uber when we go out at night. Linda said maybe that was because I had trouble driving at night. She had a valid point.

Locally Petco is 50% off through July 6th.

Dr removed the cup and said I do not need it. He said all is well and total heal time is 3 to 4 weeks. I have three different drops each with a different application schedule varying from 1 to 3 weeks. Told I could resume my normal activities but what I told him what they were he changed his...

It is cataract surgery. I have post op appointment late morning but will be calling Dr when they open for interim instructions. I am frustrated which blows the situation out of proportion.

Grim

Sitting here with a cup over my eye feeling quite frustrated. The instructions when I left the surgical center were nonexistent. Now I suppose I should have asked but I was under the influence at the conclusion of the procedure and in no position to do so. I understand the cup is for my...

Happy day after birthday Mr Badger!!!!!!

Bruce Plant has a blog post shoving instructions on bleach dipping. I have no idea of its value. I have just began researching the whole plant thing and also want to avoid guests.

Dry cleaner. They will usually also repair the stitching.

It is looking decent. We chose a rustic look and after looking at various fence styles at the big boxes I realized that pallets would be their equal for the rustic look we want. Trying to get as much done as possible by tomorrow afternoon. Thursday surgery will put me out of commission an...

Today I hauled 50 pallets and began building about 200 feet of fencing made from them. Got a good start but rain has put an end to the project today. Will begin again in the morning. The fence will tie into an existing fence and totally enclose the pond area plus connect to the dog yard.

Might want to look at lectric ebikes

I am a newby. Investigated several forums. This is by far the best.

The goal was to complete the pond area work by Friday, yesterday. We almost made it but a rain day on Thursday and spotty rain yesterday caused us to miss the goal. Still need to plant some 30 creeping jenny plants along various margins. Will do this on Sunday as today is Belmont Stakes at...

I believe they are. The Belmont is the third race of the Triple Crown. Normally run at the Belmont on Long Island. For the next two years it will be here in Saratoga due to renovations at Belmont Park. Saratoga is generally considered the cream of NY State racetracks and hosts several of the...

They do not taste like chicken. They have a deeper flavor. They are not more costly, they are a free bonus when spending a day on the water.

Belmont Stakes is in my town this weekend. It is a big deal. We hooked our camper to utilities and have it rented Thursday through Sunday gor big bucks. We used a good chunk of the money to reserve a table for 6 at the track. I really like the track which normally runs from late July though...

Today I had prepping exam for next weeks eye procedure. All was good so slice and dice goes forward. Had planned on getting a load of soil mix on way home but with the temp topping 90 and rain tomorrow chose to wait till Friday.

I like frogs, especially their legs.

Finished the collection of dry dead wood and spread it about the little creek bed to make a dead fall. Looks OK and after it is planted we think it will be a charmer. Tomorrow I will get a pick-up load of topsoil / compost mixture from a landscape supply place. This will be used to fill various...
