What a great day today. Dennis and I were outside till mid afternoon. Yes . . . that is when the mosquitoes got the news that there was fresh meat about.
In passing this morning we were visiting with the next door neighbor Jan and Dennis relayed to her that he had been out at a farmer friend’s home and the farmer had the worst infestation of moles ever. The entire yard was infested. Both the neighbor and us were thankful we weren’t bothered by them. Dennis and I got busy and before long the neighbor was back. She invited me to see her front yard lilac bush. Oh my gosh! There were actual rings around the lilac of mole activity. The ground was like walking on sponges. She was shocked. There had been none when she mowed last Saturday. Jan went out to Fleet Farm and returned with treated peanuts. I watched as she took her trowel and channeled down on of the holes until the trowel hit the loose tunnel . . . and in went several of the peanuts. When I left Jan she was really peppering multiple holes. Dennis and I will be on the watch.
I did get Dennis’ flannel quilt hemmed this afternoon. Got that done and tidied up the work surfaces and the floors and shut down the sewing studio for the weekend. Ya . . . I say that but in a heart beat that could change. I like options and I have many. Tomorrow may be another day of us being able to spend some time on the patio.
