Mulchy McCrunchy...
Today we concentrate on the butterfly garden...mulching, laying some gravel, digging out anything that isn't handling the heat...the dog is coming along to supervise and assist...I trimmed nandina and ligustrum yesterday, raked old leaves and found a small grey snake, but he slithered off before I could relocate him into a better spot...I'm hoping he's not in the bag of composted leaves that we have waiting for recycling...snakes are good for your gardens, like wasps...one person's pest is another's friend...
My first foray into the world of security systems was a bomb- I didn't arm the alarm properly, so it was never set...ha...maybe today I'll figure it out...its not like we are really worried about the house, I imagine the security sign and the black dog in the yard do enough to deter folks from trying to get into the house...I've seen jewelry stores who put tarantula's in their windows at night - they work better than burglar bars...people are funny about what they are afraid to get near...i could get a sign and hang it on the front door...I used to have 2 tarantulas as pets, but they've both passed away...they are awesome pets...nature in action...
