Its been a fairly quiet couple of weeks. I recovered from the flu and spent the weekend trying to make yard improvements and compromising with the critters in the process. The squirrels don't like the wood chips I laid down in the flower bed..or maybe it's just the way I laid them out...in any case, they keep re-arranging them (and digging holes underneath).
I found a baby bunny nest in the back yard while I was spraying for weeds. I think they are still OK as sometimes the nest appears empty and others I can see the babies' backs. There are two of them ~ I named them Trixie and Dixie ~ I have yet to see them out of the nest again so that I can get pics.
Lastly - and sadly - I found a toad (named him Kermit) in the window well while I was laying down insecticide. I didn't spray him, but apparently he couldn't get out - in spite of the branch I laid in there for him to use as a ladder - and unfortunately, Kermit passed away sometime yesterday. RIP Kermit. :(
On a happier note, my kids are all flying up next month to visit. So I'm busy trying to get things in order and baby-proofed. Also working on my genealogy site at http://gailsgenealogy.atspace.com if you care to visit during the reconstruction.
Have a happy August!!
