It's JUNE

 

Memorial Day we saw one of the bunnies out in the deer yard with a grey squirrel

We did some more food shopping 

Later that evening 9 deer came in quite the herd 

Tuesday after Memorial day 

Our three tomatoes are growing like weeds, a Beefmaster, Beefsteak, and a Celebrity,  already 5" bigger than when Rose planted them.

Our Irises are blooming

Thursday I sprayed the house and shed foundations with bug spray the carpenter ants and sugar ants were back, Terro ant drops on cardboard usually does the trick.  Rose is sewing a table skirt for the propane firepit to hide the propane tank.

Friday the Purple finches came to the feeder, the Tree and Barn swallows have been swarming, I cleaned the hummingbird feeder.

The pregnant doe (possibly twins from the looks of her) was out last night her belly has really dropped Rose figures today or tomorrow for her to have the fawn(s).

37 degrees Sunday AM Brr...

My body reminds me that I’m no longer twenty, even if my to-do list hasn’t figured that out yet.

Our Korean lilac is still flowering it smells amazing and hits you in the face with the sweet smell as you arrive at the front door.

Mom fell on Sunday June 7th at the church, she broke her hip.  Operation went well, she's in a rehab facility in Bedford until she's up and around.

We're still waiting for our first baby fawn, Deer yard pictures showed at least two are heavily pregnant.

Two Raccoons came through Wednesday evening

Thursday the mailbox latch I'd replaced is broke again, ugh, I'll take a look at it today.

Rose and I put up a couple American flags this afternoon, later I fixed the front tire on the tractor that had a flat.

I went out a couple times Thursday night to see if I could see the Aurora Borealis,
or northern lights, nope, nothing to see here.

4 Deer came into the deer yard last night

Rose and I fixed some of the LED lights in the field that had blown down

Saturday it was old home days we went down to St Matt's for their annual yard sale it was also the townwide yard sale so we hit several of those. We finished up clearing out all the old dead Blackberry canes.

We have a new turkey coming around the past couple of days, he's picking up bugs out in the field and slowly makes his way to the deeryard, It's just a single tom so not a big deal, but if we get a flock of 6-15 birds they make a huge mess everywhere they go.

Have you noticed that you hardly ever get to talk to a real person anymore?  It is all automated press one for English or two, listen for options, listen for options again and select, then...your call is important to us...please wait...your call will be answered in the order it was received...your call is being monitored for quality control purposes and then some person says ..."Hi this is Happy, how may I help you?" Well you have to repeat your name, address and phone number again...then Happy says " Please wait while I access your information" THEN the music starts, well you can bet your life's savings that it is not going to be the Oldies.  I want options for my music...don't give that classical junk that is supposed to sooth my frazzled nerves...I want to press one for "I don't get no satisfaction" press two for "Eve of Destruction" ... 

Wednesday June 10th a good sized Bear came through the deer yard

June 13th, the wild roses around the property are all blooming, you can smell them walking around the property. 

Deer & Raccoon in the deer yard.

 We have the first set of fawns 2026!

Tuesday morning June 16th was a beautiful day, 57 degrees, light breeze, the birds all chirping away.

We saw the Coopers Hawk this morning being chased out of the yard by a Mourning dove.

What is it with Democrats? They hate President Donald Trump so much that they can’t even mark Memorial Day appropriately.

• “Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran,” the official Democrat Party account posted on X, along with a picture of the 13 American service members who have been killed this year. Whatever adolescent runs the account deleted the post after well-deserved criticism. They replaced it with a far more appropriate post to “remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms.” 

The "Confusion Wave"—a deliberate psychological operation designed to make you doubt everything. Remember when masks were useless, then mandatory, then useless again? Remember when the lab leak theory was "disinformation," then suddenly plausible?

• This isn't incompetence. It is designed.
• The Confusion Wave works by flooding the information space with contradictory narratives until you give up trying to find the truth. You retreat into helplessness. You stop questioning. You become, as the book puts it, "a passive consumer of propaganda" rather than an active participant in your own life.
