We could use some rain, but aside from that it has been
perfect.
Brandon has been here the latter part of the week and
has cleaned the area between the road and the rock wall
in front of the house. Next spring I shall plant the whole
area with sunflowers. The few I planted this year have
done beautifully without any attention from me!
Ezequiel has built a fantastic wall in back of the barn.
We need another on the side of the barn between the
barn and the street, but we are hopeful the county
road crew will do something there. It is their pile
driver that has weakened the old wall, at least that
hasn't helped.
I post the following pictures. I think the spider is
a wolf spider which is venomous, but not lethal. It
seemed huge and ran out from the garden and
startled Brandon and me. It seemed gigantic.
We were examining the destruction some critter
had done to "our" garden. Brandon had planted
close to 40 daffodil bulbs and something has been
digging them up. I knew they would eat the tulip
bulbs; they ate the ones I planted last year. I
thought that daffodil bulbs were poisonous, even
to rodents, so they wouldn't get eaten. We'll see
how many come up next year. I have put screen
over them now.
