Found this little animal on the lawn in the
backyard. It is a mole and has done quite
a bit of damage to the lawn and my garden.
Look closely at the little paddle paws. The
ground here is filled with rocks yet he is
able to dig a tunnel, push the dirt and rocks
up through a hole he bores in the yard. The
evidence is a mound of dirt/rocks. I use
ammonia to kill them off by pouring it in
the tunnel once I dig down and find it.

Backyard Retreat

I decided that this little corner of the backyard

would make a good place for a retreat. A place

to sit and have a cool drink. A place to enjoy

quiet and reflect on the day. A place to "get

away" from the world, if only for a little

while.

The Bountiful Garden

The garden looks great, now if we can get some

sunshine and warmth to cause them to ripen

we will be in "hog heaven". Absolutely unin-

dated with produce.

This is some of the bounty from the garden
It will eventually give us tomatoes of various
sizes and colors plus cucumbers. We have
been harvesting yellow and green beans
for quite some time now. Waiting for the
green peppers to get larger before plucking
them.
Please notice the jacket on during August.




















Managed to put these two chairs together. Next
I will try to build a 2X4 platform in the backyard
under a tree on which to set them.
