Good Morning. I never made here at all yesterday, I was busy-busy-busy yesterday, more so than usual. I cut the grass, pruned about 24 trees, edged, cleaned up debris (tile and masonry) back by the shed that the previous homeowners left and tossed that into a giant hole that I am filling up, fixed a broken outside light, cleaned up the back patio, sprayed some round-up on some weeds around the house and then I completely tore down a stone wall. Which then I was pre-occupied with catching and removing the critters that were all living in it.
I caught two baby milk snakes, about 12 inches long (which are non-venomous and eat mice and other snakes; they are in the king snake family) and then I caught this really wicked looking spider. This this was the biggest spider that I have ever caught or seen around any house that I've owned. The thing completely filled the bottom of a mason jar; from one side to the next. It was huge... Lisa about had a fit when I brought the
mason jars in the house and said " Happy Mothers Day!".
Now she's scarred to death to even trim or prune anything outside. I told her to wear gloves and poke around first, before you stick you hands in any bush. I eventually took them out back behind the shed and let them loose in the woods. I told them to go find some bugs to eat.....
Then last night we went out and had a nice Italian dinner with a cannoli for dessert; Yum....
Today, in-laws are coming up for a Mothers Day feast and other than that, I might do a few little things in the house here...
I hope everyone enjoys they're day today...
