BIRDHOUSES

The 10 point Rack looks heavy, the big buck stopped by a couple times on Tuesday, his rack is massive, hit rack is so big his head bobs up and down as he walks exaggerating it's size.

The 8 pointer

Couple of young Orioles are stopping in for grape jelly

The Northern Flickers have 3 young ones stopping by daily to the grape jelly too. Just a tiny spot of red on their heads.

One of the smaller bucks looking a tad wet

We had our 3 tons of wood pellets delivered on Friday

We have a family of 4 Northern Flickers that stop by for grape jelly, and a few immature Orioles too.

The past few days the does started coming back into the deer yard, we still haven't seen any new fawns this year.

Busy day today, we're off to Sanborn Lumber to pick up some rough cut pine to make replacement birdhouses, we'll take down the 24 houses currently out around the yard and field this fall and replace some that are 8 years old now and are falling apart. Off to landscape supply to price out crushed stone and loam, hit the bank to see what they have for rates, hit the grain store, the farmers market for a dozen ears of corn and some big beefsteak eatin' tomatoes for sandwiches.

We need to unload a load of lumber Sunday, and figure out how many yards of crushed stone and loam we'll need for the project.

Country style pork ribs with Ah-So sauce and corn on the cob! We picked up a dozen ears so we'll freeze the rest up in quart bags.

We'd noticed driving Saturday you could see the smoke haze from the Canadian fires.

It was HOT on Sunday 7/28 moving lumber was brutal. It's done though. We got some great wood at a good price!

We cooled a couple burgers on the grill warmed the short rib leftovers and a salad for dinner, yum!

Lawns around town are all browning up, we stopped at the pond yesterday, it's gone down quite a bit we'll start watching water usage. I haven't heard the "D" for "drought" word yet, I can feel it coming though. We're supposed to get some showers today Monday, the ground is so dry though it'll not be enough that's for sure.

Rose was working in the barn and found a paper bees nest, turns out it's a yellow- jacket nest on the side door of the barn. I sprayed it, we only had general flying insect spray, we'll need to pickup some wasp spray and soak the cantaloupe size nest.

Rose came up with some new ideas for birdhouses with tin roofs, we have a couple scraps lying around

Rose mowed the yard and a good part of the field on Tuesday. I was in meeting hell so I couldn't help. She did a great job the fields look great.

10 point buck came into the yard Tuesday afternoon, he was skittish constantly looking around.

Still few to no mosquitos this year, to hot and dry I suspect, plenty of no-see-ums I'm OK with few to no skeeters!

Finally got the remaining Poke Weed all cut out, this stuff grows so fast in the heat and gets huge up to 8 feet tall, 2 trailer loads were removed. If we don't get it the birds eat it and spread it even more of it around the property.

It's DRAGONFLY DAY, Thursday and Friday we had swarms in the yard and fields, there's small gnats swarming too providing dinner to the Dragonflies. A single dragonfly can consume over 100 mosquitoes in one day. With their incredible speed—reaching up to 30 miles per hour—they’re agile hunters, capable of catching and devouring a wide range of pests, including gnats, midges, flies, and moths.

We're picking blueberries and blackberries now, we'll add this to the gallon or so of raspberries already in the freezer. The raspberries have finished producing for the year.

I was up at 3AM Friday morning to see if the Perseids Meteor Shower was visible, nope not here, not yet anyway. This year, the Perseids span from July 14 to Sept. 1 and are expected to peak in the early morning hours of Aug. 12 as the Earth passes through the dust trails left behind by the 109P/Swift-Tuttle comet.

We were supposed to get a storm Friday night I expected to hear it but didn't. Things were wet Saturday AM.

I've been living on tomato sandwiches the past couple of weeks, the heat is rally helping providing a lot of great tomatoes. Rose picked up some sourdough bread that's great to use with the tomatoes.

Rose made up a fruit salad on Friday!

I noticed there was a dense smoke shroud everywhere on my drive home from work on Friday. Canada is on fire again.

We got a little bit of rain, just enough to piss off the grass...

We're off to bug some 5 gallon water jugs this weekend, and hopefully some more heirloom tomatoes for BLTs.

I went to the barn Saturday to get the 10' aluminum stepladder Rose got nervous with me chainsawing branches while standing on the lawn tractor. I checked the Yellow jacket nest while there, it looks dead, I'll scrape the nest off later Sunday.

It was hot Saturday, Rose and I decided to we needed to trim up some of the shrubs and cut down a bunch of overgrown trees, we worked hard, five trailer loads were taken out to the burn pile, some of the loads were overhanging the trailer by 15 feet, long Maple branches that were low hanging preventing us from driving around the side yard to the field. Dad got me a battery powered handheld chainsaw a couple years back that came in real handy. Yard is looking much better, now we can mow everywhere we need to! I cut a bunch of dead pine branches that had Virginia Creeper on them, Rose is allergic to them so she worked piling my mess from cutting other stuff, trimmed the Russian Olives, the Rose of Sharon's have grown like crazy in the heat this year, we trimmed low hanging branches from Dad's plum tree too, it was a good day!

We picked Blackberries Saturday evening, I washed them and put them into the freezer, we're getting a quart a day now.

92% of Voters Believe Kamala Harris Is to Blame for Covering Joe Biden’s Obvious Mental Decline – Because She Did

I am sick and tired about all the political bullshit being foisted on the American public!

“Democracy” will now use a coordinated propaganda operation to brainwash the populace into accepting a razor-thin matchup based on a plethora of cooked polls that now make another steal all but inevitable with the election likely again being decided in a handful of states controlled by the Democrat machine.

Wall Street Is Starting To Freak Out About The Horrendous State Of The U.S. Economy

Kamala Harris is most certainly a narcissist. Her record of “accomplishments” is astounding. Her political career is a nothingburger, and her many “word salads” use a lot of verbiage but articulate nothing. She ran for president in 2020 because she had accomplished … what? Nothing! No one liked her. She polled in the single digits, dropping out before the first primary vote was cast, which means she didn’t receive a single vote. So they made her vice president.

Now she’s the likely Democrat nominee for president (at least as of today). No primary, no platform — other than being unburdened from something or other. She’s a diversity hire who makes Biden look like a genius. She’s being coronated (not with votes) because she’s a black woman (actually, she’s not, but let Ancestery.com work that out).

Harris is the same candidate who was so “popular” just four years ago that she dropped out of the Democrat primaries before the first caucus or primary due to her inability to raise money and her polling around 1%. She is now apparently the second coming for the Democrat party. Welcome to the twilight zone.

‘They have to whitewash’ Kamala’s background ‘to make her palpable’

This was last year, I can’t wait to see what Biden/Harris has in store for America this year.

Catholic Leaders Warn About Kamala Harris’s ‘Extreme’ Anti-Catholic Agenda

Another Kamala Harris Failure: After Three Years and Billions of Dollars, Rural High Speed Internet Plan Has Connected ZERO People

It’s 1984 … How The Machine-Media Is Rewriting Kamala Harris’ Failure As Border-Czar

Harris is pushing some of the most socialist and terrifying policies imaginable in our country. These include the elimination of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal, banning fracking, decriminalizing illegal immigration, abolishing ICE, de-funding the police, and mandating a gun buyback program.

She even wants to ban the consumption of meat and give voting rights to terrorists like the Boston Marathon bomber!

The ad is one and a half minutes long, and every second is worth watching.

WATCH: Bob Casey just endorsed the most liberal nominee in U.S. history. pic.twitter.com/J0V6W7CUlh

Don't forgot just how crazy some of her positions are.

-Restricting red meat consumption?
-Letting the Boston bomber vote?
-Abolishing ICE to “start over?”
-Ending the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal?

Even AOC and the squad had to be like “hey take it easy lady.” https://t.co/7223CBMmAo

The Percentage Of Americans That Worry They Won’t Be Able To Pay Their Bills Is Higher Than It Was During The Great Recession

Biden Dropped Out So Fewer People Would Conclude “American Democracy” Is a Ridiculous Scam.

We are $35 trillion in debt and are adding another $1 trillion in new debt every 100 days. Repaying that debt is nearly impossible without the destruction of the Dollar as a currency unit. To say that our legislators are spending like drunken sailors is an insult to drunken sailors. At least those sailors spend money that they’ve actually earned. The congresscritters are spending money that doesn’t even exist.”

The Olympics ceremony was a Satanic drag show. They were mocking God, Christians, and Christianity. I will stop this sickening Satanism on day one! No President has fought for Christians like I have! Boycott the Olympics. Christ is King.

We are still not talking about this enough…

Members of Congress are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.

BREAKING: BIDEN TO PROPOSE SUPREME COURT ETHICS CODE AND TERM LIMITS.

The DEMOCRACY PARTY are rewriting all the laws they don't like.
Laws and rules and INSTITUTIONS meant to serve ALL AMERICANS.
NOT JUST THE CRAZY ONES ON THE LEFT!
Guys, they’re trying to squeeze us CONSERVATIVES out.
Not even hiding it anymore.
Separation of Powers is one of the chief elements of our union.
IT KEEPS EVERYBODY HONEST.
Democrats HATE honesty and fair play.
Those are just things to be worked around or swept away.
If the White House can rewrite the Supreme Court, it’s all over.
America will become a liberal sh*thole even more than it already is.
WE MUST WIN THIS ELECTION OR THE AMERICA WE LOVE IS FINISHED!

RFK Jr: The Democrats Are Destroying Democracy to Save it from Donald Trump

That’s “not a good look,” he says. In fact, “It’s a PARADOX.”
Kennedy went as far as to say, “The Democratic Party today is all about the OPPOSITE” of democracy.
“They’re suing us in all the states,” Kennedy added, highlighting the extent of the Democratic Party’s efforts to block his candidacy.
They make sure “that candidates who are going to run against their chosen candidate, that the legal system, that the law enforcement agencies are used to prevent those candidates from running.”
“They’re saying, ‘Well, we have to do this in order to save democracy from Donald Trump.’ The real argument is we’re destroying democracy in order to save it. It’s a paradox.”

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 41% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United States is likely to experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, including 16% who consider such a scenario Very Likely. Forty-nine percent (49%) don’t think another civil war is likely in the next five years, including 20% who say it’s Not At All Likely. Another 10% are not sure.
