IT'S SPRING 2024 APRIL EDITION

IT'S SPRING 2024 APRIL EDITION

We've had some good days, still a lot of rainy days, rivers are very high.

The Deer or Bears ate an entire deer block in two days last week, Zeb was real restless last Wednesday night, he managed to open (Crash through) the gate and was jumping up on the bedroom door, I poked the flashlight out the back door and spotted 7 deer still out in the deer yard at 12:15AM on Sunday morning.  Zeb slept in the bedroom for the first time ever, he settled down pretty quick.

Rose and I are getting all the lawn ornaments, birdbaths, some chairs and started on the tables.

Still several weeks before we can put up the gazebo, we've lost two over the years putting it up just before the wicked 50-60 MPH winds of March and April come through.

Put a new deer block out, because someone ate the other one in two days...

Shoveled up the dirt the plow left from the driveway into the pile.

We got the jelly dish replaced on the pole where we feed meal worms, Winston ate the original plastic dish.  Winston, Winston, Winston...

The Forsythias are starting to bloom, we have a couple Daffodils below the old apple tree in the back yard

Nuthatches, Grackles, Chickadees, Bluebirds, and even a Robin or two are hitting the meal worm feeder at regular intervals along with the bluebirds, the robins have pretty much moved on as the earthworms are up now.

Worked on Rose's DR weed and brush mower.  Took apart the air filter to find if full of grass and dust, banged out the filter, cleaned the head of the unit, put it all back together with some good gas and TADA, all better now!

The tree swallows, 4 or so are here all fighting over the bird houses out in the field. They can't make up their minds as to which one they want and fights break out as they go house to house.

Rose tore through the yard three days this week while we had a stretch of decent weather wrangling the puckerbrush, wild roses, and vines of Bittersweet that climb 30'+ up anything they can get a hold of, the birds depositing the seeds from the plant everywhere. The dreaded Virginia Creeper is spreading on the farm too it gives Rose a wicked bad rash similar to poison ivy, me not so much, I need to mix up some spray and have at it. I raked the chaff from mowing out of the wildflower beds.

Beautiful sunrise on Thursday AM

Gas went from $3.29 up to $3.65 in two days this week...

The Gold Finches came back on Friday there were 4-5 on the ground in the back yard.

The yard is just starting to bloom finally!

Daffs and Hyacinths are blooming on the side of the house. I saw the first Bumble bee this year flitting about while taking a couple pics in the yard.
                                                     Hyacinths

                              The weeping cherry is finally blooming too!

We picked up a 4 wheeled cart for help with the yard, I got it assembled on Friday

Zeb was real restless again Friday night 2:30AM, more like an anxiety or panic attack I guess you'd call it.  We don't think he's seen a bear, but he knows whatever he's hearing or smelling isn't good that's for sure.  He manages to open the gate slamming through it and comes upstairs, at least he wasn't jumping up on the bedroom door last night.

The bears and deer are wolfing on the deer block, this one was mostly gone within a week, it was completely gone on Saturday morning.  It was the big block too...

We went for Chinese food Friday night, there was a bunny in the driveway as I pulled in.  It's great to see them making a comeback.

We did some chainsawing of vines, brush and trees up by the road on Saturday, the area was getting dangerous to try to mow.  Two trailer loads and a big 18x24' tarp load was dragged out into the field.  Area was raked and tarps folded up and put away for next time.  Whew!

We got the 5th wheel camper side bump out extended giving us more room to walk around.

We moved the utility trailer off the lawn down to the driveway, out of the way in case we get another plowable storm... before it kills the grass, LOL what grass...  I need to pick up a bag or two at HD this week.

Kilo-WHAT?-hours: Electricity prices soar by nearly 30% under the Biden administration

Why Isn’t Every Republican Leader in America Asking 24/7, “Who is the Real President? Who is Making the Decisions That are Destroying America?” Because We All Know It Isn’t Joe Biden.

Hyperinflation is the term for when the cost of goods and services increases very rapidly, such as 50% or more each month. That would mean the groceries that cost you $100 one month would cost you $150 the next. The growing money supply causes money to lose its value. As a result, people start spending money faster in order to get as much value out of it as they can, and things can spiral downward in a hurry.



We’re told there’s “a scourge of gun violence across the country,” with no regard to several relevant truths: “Gun violence” is a political term designed to create fear and loathing of the objects while deflecting responsibility from those abusing them. It’s not “across the country,” it overwhelmingly occurs in specific and known Democrat urban districts. As economist John Lott demonstrates, “Murder isn’t a nationwide problem. It’s a problem in a small set of urban areas, and even in those counties, murders are concentrated in small areas inside them…” Those doing the “scourging” don’t obey gun laws and won’t be slowed down by this.

Curious how much less “gun violence” there was in this country before Democrats started imposing all this “progress.”

“President Biden and Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase,” the report said. “Since Mr. Biden took office, his administration and its allies have taken over 200 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America.”




HERE WE GO AGAIN...
