    You don't want to know about my last week. Trust me. That bird was amazing. Glad the squirrels are doing well in spite of the dangerous life they lead. They're lucky to have you caring for them. My grandchildren went back to school in the beginning of August.

    Yes, I’m from Australia and some spiders are huge but only if you go bush, the suburbs usually only have smaller spiders like that one.
    I saw a recipe to make traps for yellow jackets that is a takeaway container with a hole cut in, she used some spreadable meat type stuff on the inside of the lid and soapy water in the bottom of the container, they flew in and drowned. Maybe that might work?

      @jodidunnmymessylife1847  3 месяца назад +2

      Oh that’s good to know.
      I’ve been too nervous to try traps like that because I don’t know if the honey bees or bumble bees are attracted to those as well.

The contact with the bird was amazing. My daughter got me a hummingbird ring. One flew in front of me like it thought about landing! I have a bed that gets hot sun most of the day, any recommendations? I am in middle of Georgia. Your hard looks wonderful. It will be nice when you can set up a patio table, umbrella and chairs and look at it all and relax.

    My friend Bridget lived in Australia for a few years. She had a picture of a spider the size of a small dog.yep. that gave ME the heebie-jeebies.
    Great progress on that area. Every perennial in the ground has a better chance of growth for next year.
    Progress IS progress!!!
    I decided that as there's so much i can't do, i will do what I can. So ive been going through some shelves ( only 1 arm needed) and trash tossed and some paperwork to where it's ACTUALLY supposed to be. Next is going through my spice mixes and refilling them, which also can be done 1-handed. 😂
    It's amazing what you can find that you were JUST looking for. Lol.

    Remember that you can fill the holes with wood chips when you get there. It will need a bit more mounding as it will sink, but if you are solely filling holes and adding cardboard. Obviously it wont be good to plant there for awhile.

    Flowers look wonderful! Congrats! Something “new” happened to me last night. About 10:30 pm saw something moving and then a huge BAT flew all around me and up the stairs and back down and all around. Dive bombing me and terrorizing my cat. Omg!!! Ended up staying up well past midnight doors open, broom in hand, sun hat and goggles on. It never went out. I have idea where it is. I locked the cat in the downstairs bathroom all night after checking the room. Went up to bed and checked my room thoroughly and then closed the door and put blanket under the bottom gap. I swear every little sound I was on full alert. Think I got 2 hrs sleep. Holy crap. I guess if it comes out again tonight I will know if it actually left or not. Freaked me out good. Dang thing had a wing span of over 7” or more. Yikes! No clue on how it got in. Been here 29 years and that is a “first!” Take care! ❤

The one with the hole in its belly could be a beebe shot. Some people are mean like that. You should try to sit on a bench or chair by that that they come & see if they'll take a peanut from you & maybe they'll sit on your shoulders while eating it! The bird was cute & to even get that close was amazing, maybe next time! Just an idea! Your garden is looking awesome! I love the garden paths, so cool. That's neat some flowers are coming up in the back area! Your grandson is getting big! Oh, wait till your other 2 daughters get married & have children! You'll be very busy then! You take care!
