The End of April
Reminder it's still spring, it was 28 degrees Monday morning.
We filled up 6 jugs this evening at $3.78 a gallon tonight, we've been waiting for it to go down.
Twenty-five degrees Tuesday AM, All the stores around have their plants out, wonder what the losses will be?
Tuesday I cleaned the air filter on the DR weed whacker, it was dirty, I added fresh gas but it still wouldn't start. It took a hit of starting fluid before it came to life.
Gas was back up to $4.00 in town, glad we filled up the gas jugs and my car on Monday
Rose has been spraying weed/grass killer around bird poles and borders of the sheds, etc. It'll make mowing a lot quicker and easier.
Wednesday another frost
Home Depot Free Delivery, I was at their website, needed Wood Pellets, We're out of pellets for the stove, it's still cool in the mornings, and evenings! They are delivering 6 bags of pellets NEXT DAY for free. How can they do that?
Thursday James stopped over for dinner. It was great to see him.
Friday Rose swapped some of the solar lights around and put up more on the back of the house, we now have solar lighting all around the house, and sheds.
3-4 deer coming in every evening before dark now.
Coyote came through early Saturday morning. It'd been a while since we saw her, probably has pups.
It's Spring and yes we're busy, our list is long, hard things don’t get easier if we don’t do them.
Saturday is a work day we're taking out some apple branches, and an elm tree. Along with usual unplanned things per usual! We cleared 30 feet of bank of Wild Rose, raspberry brambles and vines with loppers and our hedge trimmer, Rose sprayed several areas to keep them at bay for a while, I mowed the lower field before the rains come next week we're supposed to get 5 days of rain.
Sunday another workday, Rose sprayed some more, and did some weedwhacking on the back hill, I mowed up and down the back hill to ensure I didn't rollover. I cleared and raked the dead grass from under and around the solar array and mowed some more field. Dinner was bacon cheeseburgers with potato salad.
We brought in the Air conditioner for the dining room. Rose brought in the Hummingbird feeders and made up some sugar water for them.
We're both still adjusting to the increased physical demands of the spring season after a more sedentary winter.
No ticks on us over the weekend, Rose found one on Zebulon though.
Rose filled and put up the hummingbird feeders, and lo and behold a few hours later we had one on the feeder! First Hummer of the year! Talk about great timing! Rose said she put it out a week earlier than she usually did.
The yard and fields are looking amazing already and we're not done yet.
We're going to relocate the solar array this year, I need to trench for the solar cable that goes from the solar panels to the charge controller in the basement about 100'.
The Bluebirds and Tree Swallows are still trying to figure out which of the 40 or so birdhouses Rose made they will settle in this year.
Lots blooming in the yard, the forsythia have been blooming for a week or so, the Weeping cherry is absolutely covered in bees, from big bumblebees to tiny mason and carpenter bees, honey bees too. Dads Plum tree will flower over the next week.
Monday evening and the Pollen is CRAZY, that isn't rain or snow in the pic, it's Pollen, yikes... just look at this deer pic out in the main deer-yard last night!
I'm hoping we're done with frosts, we got a frost last spring that decimated all the fruit tree blossoms, no apples or plums at all last year, the drought didn't help either.
I'll put the mosquito dunks in the spring, lake Chloe, and the pond this weekend. We've seen a few mosquitos, (they're coming!) this week it's mostly black flies. The tree swallows are loving it.
We have a Phoebe nesting on the back of the barn, Rose put up another platform next to the existing one.
The Wrens are back we saw them in the back yard.
The ticks are still here, I found one on the back of my arm after taking the trash out Wednesday, jeesh.
Rain today Thursday 4/30 nice!
Liberalism is essentially destructive. In order to lead us to their Utopia of Equality (the “Promised Land”) liberals must first discredit and destroy the hated status quo, i.e., the American system of limited government and free enterprise. This was what Obama meant when he spoke of “fundamentally changing” the United States — destruction.
“In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments, modern liberals have to pretend not to know things.”
Times change, and the issues shift, but the War to Stop Liberals From Ruining Everything is incessant. Whether or not we can “Make America Great Again,” if we give up now, there won’t be anything of American greatness left to fight for.
New Hampshire State Senator Debra Altshiller’s recent Senate floor meltdown has crossed into dangerous demagoguery, labeling citizens who affirm biological reality that men are male, women are female, and Title IX protects girls’ spaces as stochastic terrorists.
- Stochastic terrorism refers to the use of mass media rhetoric to demonize a group thereby statistically elevating the chance of a random lone wolf attack without the speaker issuing a direct order.
Dems HUMILIATED in Congress as King Charles CALLS THEM OUT for Violence Against Trump!!
Trump Puts U.S. Sovereignty First
- To relatively little fanfare, when one considers the economic, political, and geopolitical implications, Pres. Trump withdrew the United States from 66 international organizations, agreements, and/or treaties covering a vast array of public policies.
But then Hasan Piker...
The Democratic Party is now a hate group. I don't say that lightly, but as even a few social scientists have noted, there is an assassination culture on the left. And it's not just Trump. The anti-Israel movement celebrates Hamas, talks about #resistance and the necessity of violence to achieve social change, and the Democrats embrace these people as their next generation of voters.
The AP asserts that “burning time for North American wildfires is going into overtime” and that the number of hours favorable for wildfire is 36 percent higher than 50 years ago. It ties this to warmer nighttime temperatures and implies that fires “used to die down or even die out at night” but now persist because of climate change.
- That framing is historically inaccurate.
- Wildfires do not “go to sleep” because the clock strikes sunset. They slow when humidity rises, temperatures fall, and winds calm. When those meteorological conditions do not improve at night, fires continue to burn. That has always been true.
- Both of the major fires cited by the AP were driven by extreme wind events, not by some novel nighttime warming effect.
First Lady Melania Trump isn’t laughing – and she’s making sure everyone knows it. After late-night host Jimmy Kimmel joked during a parody monologue that Melania had the glow of an “expectant widow,” things went from punchline to political firestorm in a hurry.
- The joke – part of a mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner segment – didn’t age well, especially after a real shooting incident rattled the actual event days later.
- Melania went after Kimmel on X, calling the remarks “hateful and violent rhetoric” and accusing Kimmel of deepening divisions in the country. She didn’t stop there, labeling him a “coward” and urging ABC to “take a stand” and rein him in or get rid of him.
A California man armed with multiple weapons shot a Secret Service agent at close range outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. The agent’s vest stopped the bullet and the suspect was taken into custody.
Of course, the opposite is true, as Trump actually said: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” Supposedly objective “fact-checking” site Snopes finally admits the clear reality of the full transcripts and video evidence that Trump never praised bigots at Charlottesville.
BREAKING: Major New Information Released PROVING That The SPLC Runs Every Major White Supremacist Organization In North America & Directly Carried Out The Oklahoma City Bombing Under Orders From The Clinton Admin!
Egypt banned the Muslim Brotherhood in 1954. Obama revived it with his Arab Spring speech 55 years later. He advocated an uprising. Before Obama, there was no ISIS. President Trump eliminated it, which was one more reason Obama hates him.
Dems are so damned funny
- This is insane. We investigated. Check this out…Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’In 2023 it was valued at $15k.In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!)This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except… the winery does not even exist:- No phone line- No physical winery- Social media gone dark- A barely functional ‘website’- No wine lolWhat is this?!It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it’s all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud.How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover.Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called ‘The Devil‘s Lie.’The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.Now we learn that Illhan’s Winery LLC was dissolved when she made the claim that it was worth $5M.Total fraud. She must be investigated NOW.
Democrats have been stealing elections nationwide for years. This November, the Dems will try again, but team Trump is trying to stop the biggest ever voter and election fraud that robs the voice and will of “We the People.” Dr. Corsi contends, “I think this is probably one of the biggest stories in America. The vote cheating by Democrats is legion. I mean it’s rampant. You’ve got 29 states that refuse to turn over to the Department of Justice (DOJ) their state voter registration data bases because they know they are packed with people that don’t exist, illegal immigrants and dead people. These voter rolls are a disgrace.”Democrats have been stealing elections nationwide for years.
