Well, it's pretty much me, not wood chucks helping. Although, I've seen Fred, and I think Buster got in a scarp with the feisty thing.
We had 2 cords delivered Thursday. It's darn good exercise. My mom and dad used to get 7 cords at a time.
I've been taking it easy, doing an hour at a time, then doing other yard work. This middle-aged body isn't what it used to be! I had to stop and plug the hole in the back of the shed. It had been plugged up with what I think is 4-year-old punky wood, leaning a little crazily.
With our shallow soil, even after 32mm of rain on Wednesday, our man could deliver and dump it right in front of the shed with little damage to the grass. For joy!
Daisy been a great little helper. I've parsed out the work. I realized that while I'd been on the roof doing the eavestrough, I hadn't ever done the shed eaves. Daisy, my forever helper and shadow, came up with me. She's a trooper. She was pretty tired after that, and required a rest in the shade and a wash up.
I spotted the ivy, growing rather askew, and used the step ladder to fix it. A tree frog jumped and landed, splat, on the ivy. That required a photo. Then, a dragonfly (Common whitetail - female) repeatedly kept perching on the wood. Finally, I took her photo, too.
When I wrapped up my work, removing gloves, and ball cap, I swatted a horse fly. Also, I found a Notable sawyer, a very ancient-looking beetle.
Daisy makes a great stupidvisor. Up on the ledge, batting at bugs. One wasp was busy in there in a hole in the wood. I plugged the hole, having been stung last month. She is the only cat I've ever had who back down a tree or post. She is a clever girl, if wee. She is almost a year old (11 months) and such a wee thing, still. Her bigger twin sister, Dorah, is much bigger.
