I’m envious Pan. I can barely get the lawn to look good.

These are absolutely beautiful Pan! You are so blessed to live out in such a beautiful area! You're a hard worker and it sure pays off!

Matter's Knot: I'm not sure why we have no chimpmunks, seen a couple about twenty years ago in the woods, coyotes maybe, habitat, my favorites are Chip and Dale; when the Queen and I wiggle our fingers like cheerleaders at a ballgame, and remark, "spirit fingers" then yeah, it's a Chip and Dale day.

I'm sorry about you losing your apex predator, that is the reason we do not raise corn; Otis has gotten old, used to wear the rows out on patrol, barely hand to weed, sooo, heck, if you lose your apex predator and dog is getting old, what's a kind hearted man supposed to do?

Cool about the hawks; I sit out late, one comes around as the lightning bugs begin; tried to take some pictures the last two nights, did a SORRY job.

Smiling, laughing about the Quality of Mercy, and heck yea, it is not strained, but "TWICE BLESSED".
