Mowing and Weedin'
Busy day Saturday, Rose and I got the mosquito netting on the cabana, we hooked up the vent for the A/C unit in the bedroom.
We finally found batteries for a couple of Roses wrist watches. I replaced them both, and they both worked! Surprised me too...
We went food shopping at 8PM last Saturday night, good time to go!
Sunday we're doing more mowing today, Rose with the DR weed-whacker, and me on the tractor finished up the back corner, the deer yard and the hose line. We're trying to keep the field down so we don't have to worry as much with Fireworks setting the field on fire in June and July 4th.
Rose and I weeded the 3 perennial beds up front, she's much better at identifying whats weed and whats a tender new perennial, I helped.
We're headed to Hillsborough Sunday to help Jarrod with a sticking door, we'll see if we can figure out what's going on with it, we got it taken care of pretty quickly between the two of us. Jarrod has a new gas griddle, he made some amazing fajitas for dinner, beef, chicken, sausage, mushrooms yum!
The bears came back Monday morning before 5 AM Zebulon our German Shepherd was all upset, scratching at the bedroom door, whining and generally refusing to settle down.
Rose was weed-wacking again today, I mowed for an hour or so before dark. It still boggles my mind how fast everything grows around here. We need a cow, maybe a few sheep, and a goat I think.
Jason stopped by on Monday, he and a friend rode their bikes the 18 miles from Hillsborough to our house!
Monday afternoon Winston found and tried to eat a "Bad Buggie" the bee stung him good and his face swelled up, off to the vet he went. The vet gave him a shot of Benedryl and some prednisone. He looked rough, his snout was swollen, but didn't appear phased from the sting. It's going to be a rough summer if he doesn't learn this tough lesson.
Tuesday evening we're getting some weather, winds, rain and 1/2" hail, and some lightning for good measure.
Wednesday it's supposed to be 92 degrees!
It's Crystal's Birthday today!
The Second Amendment is hardly a mouthful of words; it reads: “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Solstice
Sun rising, rising
heat glimmering, dancing around me
Horses stamp, stand waiting
the field beckons,
calling, calling for the steward,
she calls for me.
The plough sinks into its song,
horses lean, they lean into work,
roots snap, earth turns,
I love it so.
Sun rising, rising,
cresting…
Thursday morning the bears came in at 4AM this morning Zebulon was all upset scratching at the bedroom door.
Jarrod stopped by Thursday evening, he's working a side gig for the town of Hillsborough now as a DJ for events, and dances.
The Purple Wisteria is blooming on the top of the telephone pole in the driveway, the most blooms we've ever had. That's a huge wild Rose below the blooms.
The yard smells amazing as you walk around, Russian Olive, Honeysuckle and various Lilacs, the smells seem to change daily this time of year, it's a shame it's short lived.
It's Finally Friday!
MEMORIAL DAY on Monday
The Maple tree seeds, (Helicopters) are falling by the thousands today, a year or so ago Rose raked up an entire wheelbarrow full of them.
I did some scything Friday on the back hill, the grass there was three feet tall already. No that's no me...
"I fish because I love to.
Because in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing what they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion.
Because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed, or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility, and endless patience.
Because I suspect that men are going this way for the last time and I for one don't want to waste the trip.
Because mercifully there are no telephones on trout waters.
Because in the woods I can find solitude without loneliness.
And finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun."

“Why Should He Have to Do It?” – WOW! White House Says It’s Not Biden’s Job to Secure the Border Amid Invasion of Military-Age Men, It is literally Biden’s Constitutional duty to secure the US border.
“Releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from the Northeast reserve is a desperate move by Joe Biden to lower prices that HE raised,” tweeted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).”This reserve is meant for emergencies, not as a cover-up for Biden’s failed economic policies.” “We now have the amazing scenario where days before the start of the hurricane season, Democrats in Congress and Biden are willing to empty the gasoline reserve.”
Auto insurance. Even good drivers are seeing their premiums rise by 20-25% on average across the first few months of this year. The question is, why? And the easy answer is just two words: Joe Biden. Indeed, the rising cost of nearly everything over the last three years can be tied directly or indirectly to the Biden administration.
REPORT: Illegal Aliens Are Rushing to the Border Now Because They’re Afraid Trump is Going to Win in November
Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli warned that the fault lines of the economy are “about ready to crack” on Monday, adding that the Biden administration’s alleged policy missteps could leave a cumbersome mess for the next person who sits in the Oval Office to clean up. “What I’ve seen over the past three-and-a-half years is that a series of debacles and missteps have created a tremendous pressure on the fault lines of our economy, and they’re about ready to crack,”
Biden administration canceling student loans for another 160,000 borrowers
Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland “personally approved” the use of DEADLY FORCE against President a Trump during the Unconstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago.

The entire US 1 million barrel Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve will be required to be sold and closed in fiscal 2024, according to bill text of government funding legislation unveiled Sunday.
Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Thursday that many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and that it’s high time to admit that there were “significant” side effects that made people sick.
In the first year of the Biden administration, inflation hit a 40-year high and has continued to climb steadily since then. However, he blames the problem on “evil corporations,” not his own misguided economic policies.
The White House has neither confirmed nor denied if Joe Biden intends to use performance-enhancing drugs to boost his debate skills.
On the Butker commencement speech, “What a beautiful affirmation of his faith, given to an audience of young men and women who no doubt have been yearning to hear such a message. With the woke lunacy of DEI being constantly foisted onto young minds, Mr. Butker has done a masterful service to the graduates and underclassmen (I guess that should be underclasspersons) at Benedictine. God bless him and his family. Whether Commissioner Roger Goodell realizes it or not, he is in a position to convey a similar message to the NFL rather than pandering to suddenly rich, not-long-out-of-high-school ‘stars’ who are nowhere near maturity and who trouble seems to follow.
Can’t Make This Up… James Comey Warns MSNBC Cranks that Trump Will “Target His Enemies” Just Like he Did to Trump with the Completely Fraudulent Russian Collusion Hoax.
“I will gladly take Trump’s chaos over Biden any day. Do the people who support Biden not have to buy groceries, gas, or electricity? All of which are at least 20% higher than when Trump was in office. We need Trump back in the White House to restore peace and dignity and to avert WWIII.”
Keeps Fallin'
Here’s why the Democrats suddenly let Biden debate Trump: It’s a set-up. It’s their final Hail Mary for Biden. If that fails, they still have enough time to swap Biden out for a new nominee. That’s why it’s in June, the *earliest-ever* presidential TV debate in history. It’s… pic.twitter.com/zCsyXkags9
Judicial Watchdog, a conservative watchdog group, recently obtained documents that are step-by-step instructions for illegal immigrants on how to register to vote in local DC elections. Not just that — but they can also RUN for office in the area as well. Does the shamelessness of leftists to prey on immigrants for electoral votes know no bounds?
Our leaders have been making really bad decisions for decades, and now we really have reached a breaking point. Bidenomics has been an abject failure of historic proportions, and the pain that it is causing is getting worse with each passing day.
It was all a lie, and Hillary hatched the lie and then later promoted the lie.
James Comey knew this all along and yet pushed an intelligence investigation against candidate and president-elect Trump and President Trump, knowing the entire investigation was based on lies concocted by the Hillary Campaign.
