Dealing with stuff

Caught a mouse in freshly baited trap last night, didn't kill the beast, saw it still moving around this morning, so got on gloves and took trap and critter outside, turned it loose in high grass. The problems one deals with living in the country.

Second orange sock proceeding on schedule, just finished first pattern (17 rows) on foot of sock, may  even get 2nd pattern done today.

Day 10 in last 11 with rain, considering we in here were all prepped for dry crunchy grass, its really nice to not have to worry about fires. It can still happen with still half of July and all of August to go, but for right now ground is pretty well saturated. Guy supposed to have come today to dig cattle guard pit out cancelled, to wet. Will be nice to have functioning cattle guard again, its been in place for over 25 years and gradually filled in the pit. So cattle can just walk across. Looking forward to not having the beasties in my yard.

50° F at 9 this  morning, caved and turned electric heat on for a couple of hours, with rain in the forecast for next 5 days everything is damp and all wood stuff in house  (doors) are sticky, don't open easily.

  1. We get a mouse or two every once in a while, too! I have three cats , they sometimes ignore them. Great help they are. Didn't realize about a cattle pit. What a good thing that is! Gosh ,I wouldn't appreciate cattle coming through my yard. WE had hot humid weather here. UGH !! Take care!
