Oh, deer
Ground Squirrels: Four down, one to go.
Bunny, with fluffy white tail: Still outstanding.
Now the question remains, what am I going to do with the buck I saw early this morning when I checked the (live) trap next to the wood pile?

100 Miles of Nowhere, yay
Another tale from 100 Miles of Nowhere.
Bucky the Donkey, Peter, Tom, and Colin going around, around, and around the inner circle at Regents Park, London. 160 laps in all. I tell ya, I couldn't have done it. I think I might have fallen over and died. They make it look so easy!
Enjoy,

Humming Bird, rescue
We attempted a daring rescue of a baby hummingbird this morning. Happily we got one baby back into the nest, and the mom & dad came back to feed it. Unfortunately, one of the babies died before we noticed. :(
Photos tomorrow.
Oh, and the ground squirrels multiplied into a family of ground squirrels. Which are now living in the wood pile next to the garden.
In the past 24 hours they've eaten all of the leaves and flowers off of all three of my eggplants. Are continuing to eating the leaves off the tomato plants, corn, and are starting in on my parsley and basil.
So far, they don't like the pepper plants, cilantro, or strawberries.
I'm contemplating drop spots. And am planning to break out the 'ol wire cage trap.

This Morning
Good nights sleep. Check.
Ate breakfast. Check
Started the pool pump. Check.
Watered the vegetable garden. Check.
Counted the plants ravaged by ground squirrels, one new casualty. (Two tomato plants are growing back. happy day.) Check.
Threw rocks at wood pile. Thought I saw fur. Most likely a squirrel. Check.
Four-wheeled the garbage/recycling cans down the driveway. ( _waaaahooooo!_ ). Check.
Saw snails. Mating. (No pics since this is a family-friendly blog.) Check.
Baby hummingbirds. Still Alive. Check.
Contemplated the future of publishing. Check.

Ponder getting up early in the morning every day. Check.
Go eat lunch. In a moment.
