Howdy all. Quick note for today. I went out earlier for a few minutes. Not very nice out there for me in my shorts and no jacket. It was 49 and a little windy. It wasn’t too bad in the sun, but I was in the back yard (west side of house) and the shade was chilly. And a little buggy too.

I didn’t do much out there. I put 3 bags of potting soil away for now in one of the deck boxes. They were in the way in the garage. And, I poured about a quart of insect killer total, into about 20 or 30 ant hills. Yes, it was a concentrate that would likely make 8 gallons of kill juice and cover the entire yard. But I want those ants to stay away from my house.

And lastly, I installed one more security camera at the NorthWest corner of the deck, pointed East. I could not have one there before because of the huge shrubs. Wouldn’t see anything but vegetation. Now it sees to the street.

Shows the new shrubs and bed area nicely.

And should catch any critters that wander through this passage to the backyard.

7:30 pm update — I just trimmed some $67 parsley from my click and grow indoor garden. At that price it would have been very tasty if I hadn’t dropped all of it just outside of Kitty’s litter box when the flash of light appeared. The scissors had also cut through the electric cord at the same time. $67 to replace that piece with the smarts and LED grow lights. Ugh. Did get a big bowl of basil prior to my clumsiness.

I sure wish it was warmer out there so I could Enjoy Life.
