Saw several tonight just now… barely paying attention while I was out thinking thoughts. Clouds are non existent here tonight, so the sky is perfect for lookin, regardless of how many stars are falling down.

I believe what you saw was a unicorn JT 😜 Actually last fall we had a little guy hanging around the house who only had one side. It was only about 3 inches long. I think he’d just broke off the one side, but sometimes they damage the pedicle and the antler won’t grow back.

My guess is he’s 2 years old. He’s not older than that, but could be a better than average one year old. Seem a bit spoiled in any case 😉.

I think we as a group are always one step behind JT here on the MO thread 😃 Here’s how it works on this pile of rocks… Mrs. : I love seeing the birds that don’t know the words Me: I also love that Mrs. : there’s 50 bird’s that don’t know the word out there, what if 53 show up? ☺️ Me: we...

JT those ant moats are sharp looking! Our feeders hang from the covered porch ceiling so we don’t get ants in them, but those tiny little black ants have been getting into everything else this year! Mixed up some of this and it’s been working great...

Tiger lilies! During that dry spell this spring my “pet” doe ate most of the buds off our Tiger lilles, so most didn’t bloom this year 🙄 But this one did well. It tends to bloom more pale and get darker. I’m guessing because it’s in dappled shade. In other blooms news, some of the surprise...

That’s a solid plan. I think Tina Turner would approve. 😊

I was just being silly to joke with Shaw. The truth is she joined a commune in Iowa that believes that Tina Turner was an extraterrestrial god of sorts, and is coming back in a pink Cadillac space ship to take the true believers with her. I might or might not still be joking 😜

I heard she’s moving to Los Angeles.

Have you tried throwing bars of soap at the guys at feed mill?

I tried it in the garden way back when, after first hearing about it. Back then the advice was to hang it in a sock in the garden to keep deer away. it might have worked for a a few days but the deer didn’t pay any attention to it after they got used to it. We tried cutting up bars of it and...

That’s the part that trips the nonsense-o-meter! Deer like sweet stuff, mice like sweet stuff, bugs like sweet stuff… and according to my heavily worn copy of ‘Field guide to churches and livestock auctions in Missouri”… even Lutherans like sweet stuff. But yet folks exclaim the wondrous...

Have you tried this, and it worked? For 30+ years I’ve heard to use Irish Spring to keep deer away, mice away, bugs away… the tax man away, the Lutherans away, and on and on. It’s ALWAYS Irish Spring! Never Dial, never Dove, never LifeBouy. I always wonder where this came from, and why just...

What kinda gypsy voodoo is this? 😝

When you say “field mouse”…? Do you mean voles? Chubby mice with short tails, making holes all over the yard. That’s what I know as a field mouse, but other folks use that term for other types of mice. I was losing the vole war, in an overwhelming way a few years ago, so I had to bring in...

I don’t know any folklore associated with it, but I remember a discussion between my granny and my mom on the proper way to use it to get rid of fleas. My granny did not allow dogs in the house, she was raised to think that was low class peasant ways. But growing up she lived next to a family...

an Iris… the spider wort…. finally ( started to think that my local one wasn’t gonna happen after @SueT posted hers. And a flutter-fly on a mock orange shrub.

I had to really look that first one over to see if we happened to have the same exact variety… Very, very close, but barely different. Irises are a genetic kaleidoscope… You’ve got a lot of variety… I like them all!
